1Burden is defined as 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, reference 5 Code of Federal 

Regulations 1320.3. 

2Actual figure (7.5) rounded to 8. 

3 2080 hours = 40 hours/week * 52 weeks (1 year). 

4Average annual salary per employee in 2011. 

implement the statutory provisions of 

sections 211 and 213 of the Federal 

Power Act (FPA) as amended and added 

by the Energy Policy Act of 1992. FERC– 

716 also includes the requirement to file 

a section 211 request if the negotiations 

between the transmission requestor and 

the transmitting utility are unsuccessful. 

For the initial process, the information 

is not filed with the Commission. 

However, the request and response may 

be analyzed as a part of a section 211 

action. The Commission may order 

transmission services under the 

authority of FPA 211. 

The Commission’s regulations in the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 18 

CFR 2.20, provide standards by which 

the Commission determines if and when 

a valid good faith request for 

transmission has been made under 

section 211 of the FPA. By developing 

the standards, the Commission sought to 

encourage an open exchange of data 

with a reasonable degree of specificity 

and completeness between the party 

requesting transmission services and the 

transmitting utility. As a result, 18 CFR 

2.20 identifies 12 components of a good 

faith estimate and 5 components of a 

reply to a good faith request. 

Type of Respondents: Transmission 

Requestors and Transmitting Utilities. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The 

Commission estimates the total Public 

Reporting Burden for this information 

collection as:

hours ÷ 2080 3 hours/year = 0.14807 

years * $142,372 4 = $21,082]. 

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.
