SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–921, Ongoing Electronic 

Delivery of Data from Regional 

Transmission Organizations and 

Independent System Operators. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0257. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–921 information collection 

requirements with no changes to the 

current reporting requirements. 

Abstract: The collection of data in the 

FERC–921 is an effort by the 

Commission to detect potential anticompetitive or manipulative behavior or 

ineffective market rules by requiring 

Regional Transmission Organizations 

(RTO) and Independent System 

Operators (ISO) to electronically submit, 

on a continuous basis, data relating to 

physical and virtual offers and bids, 

market awards, resource outputs, 

marginal cost estimates, shift factors, 

financial transmission rights, internal 

bilateral contracts, uplift, and 

interchange pricing. Individual datasets 

that the Commission is requesting may 

be produced or retained by the market 

monitoring units (MMUs). The 

Commission directed each RTO and ISO 

either to: (1) Request such data from its 

MMU, so that the RTO or ISO can 

deliver such data to the Commission; or 

(2) request its MMU to deliver such data 

directly to the Commission. All data for 

this collection has (and is expected to 

continue to) come from each RTO or 

ISO and not the MMUs. Therefore, any 

associated burden is counted as burden 

on RTO and ISO. 

Each RTO or ISO may make changes 

to their individual markets with 

Commission approval. Each RTO or ISO 

may also change the data being sent to 

the Commission to ensure compliance 

with Order No. 760. Such changes 

typically require respondents to alter 

the ongoing delivery of data under 

FERC–921. For this reason, the burden 

estimate has been updated to reflect the 

incremental burden associated with 

such changes. The burden associated 

with a changes varies considerably 

based on the significance of the specific 

change, therefore, the estimate reflects 

the incremental burden for an average 

change. Based on historical patterns of 

change, staff estimates there to be about 

one and a half changes per RTO or ISO 

per year. 

Public Comments on 60-day Notice 

and FERC Response: The Commission 

received comments from one 

commenter who is also a subject 

respondent, the New York Independent 

System Operator, Inc. They wrote: ‘‘The 

Commission should continue to require 

the ongoing delivery of data in the same 

manner that the data is currently 

delivered, in accordance with FERC 

Order No. 760 and FERC–921.’’ This 

comment clearly supports the 

Commission’s request to extend the 

information collection without change. 

Type of Respondents: Regional 

transmission organizations and 

independent system operators. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The 

Commission estimates the average 

annual burden and cost 2 for this 

information collection as follows.

May 2016 (at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/ 

naics2_22.htm) and benefits information (for 

December 2017, issued March 20, 2018, at https:// 

www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm). 

3Each RTO/ISO electronically submits data daily. 

To match with past filings, we are considering the 

collection of daily responses to be a single response 

per respondent each year. 

4The ongoing electronic delivery of data requires 

a computer support specialist (code 15–1150), at an 

hourly cost (wages plus benefits) of $47.30 

(rounded). 

5Each RTO/ISO is estimated to make one and a 

half changes yearly. To be consistent with the 

formulation that the submissions over the course of 

a year constitute a single response and for the 

purpose of this calculation, we are assuming that 

each response requires one and a half changes over 

the course of the year and estimating burden 

accordingly. 

6Changes to the delivered data require a database 

administrator (code 15–1141), legal review (code 

23–0000), and executive review (code 11–1000). 

The hourly costs (wages plus benefits) are $65.07, 

$143.68, and $96.68, respectively. We weighted the 

hourly cost figure to account for the fraction of time 

for each skill set per response, and used an estimate 

of 3⁄4, 1⁄8, and 1⁄8 respectively. We used the 

following formula for the weighted hourly cost 

figure: $65.07 (0.75) + $143.68 (0.125) + $96.68 

(0.125) = $78.85 (rounded). 

We estimate the total time required per change to 

be 320 hours. Because a response encompasses one 

year where there are, on average, 1.5 changes, the 

total time per response is 480 hours (1.5 * 320 

hours).
