opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the

(PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This

requirement on respondents can be 

properly assessed.

reference OMB Control Number 3045– 

0035, with an expiration date of May 31, 

2014. The Corporation proposes to 

renew the Senior Corps Grant 

Application with the following 

modifications: 

• To modify Grant Application 

Instructions to align with upcoming 

standard performance measure 

requirements. 

• To separate the currently combined 

Grant Application Instructions by 

program, with a set of instructions 

specifically for the RSVP program and a 

set of instructions for the Foster 

Grandparent and Senior Companion 

programs. 

• To incorporate technical corrections 

and enhancements, including 

simplifying language, establishing page 

limits, requiring extended zip code (zip 

plus four), and others.

request can be obtained by contacting

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Corporation, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are expected to respond, including the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology 

(e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses). 

Background 

The Senior Corps Grant Application is 

completed by applicant organizations 

interested in sponsoring a Senior Corps 

program. The application is also used by 

existing grantees to apply for 

continuation year grants (annual 

submissions in years two and three of a 

three year grant). The application is 

completed electronically using the 

Corporation’s web-based grants 

management system, eGrants. 

Current Action 

The Corporation seeks to renew the 

current application with modifications. 

The modifications are: to modify Grant 

Application Instructions to align with 

upcoming standard performance 

measure requirements; separate the 

currently combined Grant Application 

Instructions by program, with a set of 

instructions specifically for the RSVP 

program and a set of instructions for the 

Foster Grandparent and Senior 

Companion programs; and incorporate 

technical corrections and 

enhancements, including simplifying 

language, establishing page limits, 

requiring extended zip code (zip plus 

four), and others. 

The information collection will 

otherwise be used in the same manner 

as the existing application.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–598, Self Certification for 

Entities Seeking Exempt Wholesale 

Generator or Foreign Utility Company 

Status. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0166. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–598 information collection 

requirements with no changes to the 

reporting requirements. 

Abstract: The Commission uses the 

information collected under the 

requirements of FERC–598, ‘‘Self 

Certification for Entities Seeking 

Exempt Wholesale Generator or Foreign 

Utility Company Status’’ (OMB Control 

No. 1902–0166), to implement the 

statutory provisions of Title XII, 

subchapter F of the Energy Policy Act of 

2005 (EPAct 2005).1

EPAct 2005 repealed the Public 

Utility Holding Company Act (PUHCA) 

of 1935 in its entirety, including section 

32. This repeal enabled the Commission 

to exempt wholesale generators from 

PUHCA 1935 on a case-by-case basis. 

The Commission amended its 

regulations (in Order No. 667 2) to add 

procedures for self-certification by 

entities seeking exempt wholesale 

generator (EWG) and foreign utility 

company (FUCO) status. Moreover, 

Order No. 667 implemented the repeal 

of PUHCA 1935 and the supplementary 

enactment of PUHCA 2005. This selfcertification is similar to the process 

available to entities that seek qualifying 

facility status. 

An EWG is a ‘‘person engaged 

directly, or indirectly through one or 

more affiliates * * * and exclusively in 

the business of owning or operating, or 

both owning and operating, all or part 

of one or more eligible facilities and 

selling electric energy at wholesale.’’ 3 A 

FUCO is a company that ‘‘owns or 

operates facilities that are not located in 

any state and that are used for the 

generation, transmission, or distribution 

of electric energy for sale or the 

distribution at retail of natural or 

manufactured gas for heat, light, or 

power, if such company: (1) Derives no 

part of its income, directly or indirectly, 

from the generation, transmission, or 

distribution of electric energy for sale or 

the distribution at retail of natural or 

manufactured gas for heat, light, or 

power, within the United States; and (2) 

neither the company nor any of its 

subsidiary companies is a public-utility
