SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–587, Land Description 

(Public Land States/Non-Public Land 

States [Rectangular or Non-Rectangular 

Survey System Lands in Public Land 

States]). 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0145. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–587 information collection 

reporting requirements. 

Abstract: The Commission requires 

the FERC–587 information collection to 

satisfy the requirements of section 24 of 

the Federal Power Act (FPA). The 

Federal Power Act grants the 

Commission authority to issue licenses 

for the development and improvement 

of navigation and for the development, 

transmission, and utilization of power 

across, along, from or in any of the 

steams or other bodies of water over 

which Congress has jurisdiction.1 The 

Electric Consumers Protection Act 

(ECPA) amends the FPA to allow the 

Commission the responsibility of 

issuing licenses for nonfederal 

hydroelectric plants.2

Section 24 of the FPA requires that 

applicants proposing hydropower 

projects on (or changes to existing 

projects located within) lands owned by 

the United States to provide a 

description of the applicable U.S. land. 

Additionally, the FPA requires the 

notification of the Commission and 

Secretary of the Interior of the 

hydropower proposal. FERC–587 

consolidates the information required 

and identifies hydropower project 

boundary maps associated with the 

applicable U.S. land. 

The information consolidated by the 

Form No. 587 verifies the accuracy of 

the information provided for the FERC– 

587 to the Bureau of Land Management 

(BLM) and the Department of the 

Interior (DOI). Moreover, this 

information ensures that U.S. lands can 

be reserved as hydropower sites and 

withdrawn from other uses. 

The Commission is also making the 

following changes to the FERC Form No. 

587 instructions. FERC is not changing 

the reporting requirements of the 

information collection: 

Paragraph 3 

—Revise Paragraph 3 3 as follows:

(3–1/4′′ X 7–3/8′′) aperture cards. The project number followed by a 

hyphen and sheet number or letter must be typed on the front of 

each card in the upper right corner.

Electronic file format copies of the project boundary map(s), also referred to as Exhibit G drawing(s), must be submitted with the land

Estimate of Annual Burden 4: The 

Commission estimates the annual public 

reporting burden for the information 

collection as:

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 133 / Wednesday, July 11, 2018 / Notices 32113 

5The estimates for cost per response are derived 

using the following formula: 2018 Average Burden 

Hours per Response * $79 per Hour = Average Cost 

per Response. The hourly cost figure of $79 is the 

2018 average FERC hourly cost for wages plus 

benefits. We assume for FERC–587 that respondents 

earn at a similar rate. 

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(1) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

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 

and clarity of the information collection; 

and (4) ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.
