SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–516H, Electric Rate 

Schedules and Tariff Filings, Pro Forma 

Open Access Transmission Tariff. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0303. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–516H information 

collection requirements with no changes 

to the current reporting requirements. 

Abstract: As of March 14, 2022, 

FERC–516H, requires respondents that 

are subject to 18 CFR 35.28 to submit 

compliance filings that add a new 

Attachment M to their pro forma Open 

Access Transmission Tariffs (OATTs). 

The regulation at 18 CFR 35.28, which 

pertains to non-discriminatory open 

access transmission tariffs, applies to: 

• Commission-jurisdictional public 

utilities that own, control, or operate 

facilities used for the transmission of 

electric energy in interstate commerce; 

and 

• Non-jurisdictional utilities that seek 

voluntary compliance with 

jurisdictional transmission tariff 

reciprocity conditions. 

In Order No. 881, the Commission 

added 18 CFR 35.28(c)(5) to require any 

public utility that owns transmission 

facilities that are not under the public 

utility’s control to, consistent with the 

pro forma OATT required by 18 CFR 

35.28(c)(1), share with the public utility 

that controls such facilities (and its

1 ‘‘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 5 CFR 1320.3. 

2The hourly cost (for salary plus benefits) uses 

the figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) 

for three positions involved in the reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements. These figures include 

salary (based on BLS data for May 2023, http://

bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm) and benefits 

(based on BLS data issued March 19, 2022, http:// 

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

Manager (Code 11–0000 $106.33/hour), Electrical 

Engineer (Code 17–2071 $77.29/hour). The hourly 

cost for the reporting requirements ($91.81 = $92 

rounded) is an average of the cost of a manager and 

engineer. 

3Transmission owners update forecasts and 

ratings, and share transmission line ratings and 

facility ratings methodologies w/transmission 

providers and, if applicable, RTOs/ISOs & market 

monitors. 

Market Monitoring Unit(s), if 

applicable): 

(i) Transmission line ratings for each 

period for which transmission line 

ratings are calculated for such facilities 

(with updated ratings shared each time 

ratings are calculated); and 

(ii) Written transmission line rating 

methodologies used to calculate the 

transmission line ratings for such 

facilities provided under subparagraph 

(i), above. 

Additionally, 18 CFR 35.28(c) 

requires each public utility transmission 

provider to have on file with the 

Commission and adhere to the 

Commission’s pro forma Open Access 

Transmission Tariff (OATT). In Order 

No. 881, the Commission added 

Attachment M of the Commission’s pro 

forma OATT to require each 

jurisdictional transmission provider to 

maintain on the password-protected 

section of its OASIS page or on another 

password-protected website a database 

of transmission line ratings and 

transmission line rating methodologies. 

Such transmission line ratings and 

transmission line rating methodologies 

are to be calculated and provided by 

transmission owners. The database must 

include a full record of all transmission 

line ratings, both as used in real-time 

operations, and as used for all future 

periods for which transmission service 

is offered. Additionally, Attachment M 

of the Commission’s pro forma OATT 

requires transmission providers, as the 

regulated entities, to share transmission 

line ratings and methodologies with any 

transmission provider(s) upon request 

and in a timely manner.
