Corrected Errata Notice 

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, DOE. 

ACTION: Corrected errata and comment 

request. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

(Commission or FERC) is submitting the 

information collections FERC–917 (Nondiscriminatory Open Access 

Transmission Tariff) and FERC–918 

(Information to be posted on OASIS &

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review of the information collection 

requirements. Any interested person 

may file comments directly with OMB

published 60-day and 30-day notices (in 

the Federal Register on February 6, 

2018, and May 9, 2018, respectively), for 

the renewal of the FERC–917 and

notices requested comments on FERC– 

917 and FERC–918 and indicated the

inadvertently omitted from the Notices. 

Due to this oversight, we provided an 

additional 15 days for comments, which

June 12, 2018) are being corrected in

2The estimated hourly cost (salary plus benefits) 

provided in this section is based on the salary 

figures for May 2017 posted by the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics for the Utilities sector (available at http:// 

www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm) and 

benefits data of May 2017 (available at https://

www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm): 

Legal (Occupation Code: 23–0000): $143.68; 

Consulting (Occupation Code: 54–1600): $89.00; 

Management Analyst (Occupation Code: 13–1111): 

$63.49; Office and Administrative Support 

(Occupation Code: 43–000): $40.89; Electrical 

Engineer (Occupation Code: 17–2071): $68.12; 

Information Security Analyst (Occupation Code: 

15–1122): $66.34; File Clerk (Occupation Code: 43– 

4071): $32.74. 

For reporting requirements, the skill sets are 

assumed to contribute equally, so the hourly cost 

is an average [($143.68 + $89.00 + $63.49 + $40.89 

+ $68.12 + $66.34 + $32.74) ÷ 7 = $72.04]. The 

figure is rounded to $72.00 per hour. 

For recordkeeping requirements, the hourly cost 

for a file clerk ($32.74) is used.
