[Docket No. EL18–185–000] 

American Municipal Power, Inc; Notice

Take notice that on June 28, 2018, 

American Municipal Power, Inc. 

submitted a filing of proposed revenue 

requirement for reactive supply and

PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. Tariff 

(Willow Island, Hydroelectric Facility).

accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of 

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). 

Protests will be considered by the 

Commission in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken, but will 

not serve to make protestants parties to 

the proceeding. Any person wishing to 

become a party must file a notice of 

intervention or motion to intervene, as

Federal Regulations) 260.401. 2Public Law 109–58.

4 ‘‘Burden’’ is the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to generate, 

maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information 

to or for a Federal agency. For further explanation 

of what is included in the information collection 

burden, refer to Title 5 CFR 1320.3. 

5Costs (for wages and benefits) are based on wage 

figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for 

May 2017 (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). The staff 

estimates that 75% of the work is done by a 

financial analyst (code 13–2051) at an hourly cost 

of $64.35 (for wages plus benefits), and 25% of the 

work is done by legal staff members (code 23–0000) 

at an hourly cost of $143.68 (for wages plus 

benefits). Therefore the average cost (for wages plus 

benefits) is rounded to $84.18/hour [or ($64.35/hour 

* 0.75) + ($143.68/hour * 0.25)]. 

6The staff thinks that the average estimated 

burden per filing should be 20 hours (rather than 

the current estimate of 10 hours). There are no 

changes to the reporting requirements. 

This filing is accessible on-line at 

http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link and is available for 

review in the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room in Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–552, Annual Report of 

Natural Gas Transactions. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0242. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–552 information collection 

requirements with no changes to the 

current reporting requirements. 

Abstract: The Commission uses the 

information collected in the FERC–552 1

to provide greater transparency into the 

size of the physical natural gas market 

and the types of transactions market 

participants use to make physical 

natural gas purchases and sales. The 

collection includes transactions that 

contribute to, or may contribute to 

natural gas price indices. Many market 

participants rely on indices as a way to 

reference market prices without taking 

on the risks of active trading. 

FERC–552 had its genesis in the 

Energy Policy Act of 2005,2 which 

added section 23 of the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA). Section 23 of the NGA, among 

other things, directs the Commission ‘‘to 

facilitate price transparency in markets 

for the sale or transportation of physical 

natural gas in interstate commerce, 

having due regard for the public 

interest, the integrity of those markets, 

and the protection of consumers.’’ 3

Type of Respondents: Wholesale 

natural gas market participants. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 4 The 

Commission estimates the total annual 

burden and cost 5 for this information 

collection as follows.

information is necessary for the proper

Commission, including whether the 

information will have practical utility;

of the burden and cost of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility
