SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–715: Annual 

Transmission Planning and Evaluation 

Report. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0171. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–715 information collection 

requirements with no changes to the 

current reporting requirements. 

Abstract: Acting under FPA Section 

213,1 FERC requires each transmitting 

utility that operates integrated 

transmission system facilities rated 

above 100 kilovolts (kV) to submit 

annually: 

• Contact information for the FERC– 

715; 

• Base case power flow data (if it does 

not participate in the development and 

use of regional power flow data); 

• Transmission system maps and 

diagrams used by the respondent for 

transmission planning; 

• A detailed description of the 

transmission planning reliability criteria 

used to evaluate system performance for 

time frames and planning horizons used 

in regional and corporate planning; 

• A detailed description of the 

respondent’s transmission planning 

assessment practices (including, but not 

limited to, how reliability criteria are 

applied and the steps taken in 

performing transmission planning 

studies); and 

• A detailed evaluation of the 

respondent’s anticipated system 

performance as measured against its 

stated reliability criteria using its stated 

assessment practices. 

The FERC–715 enables the 

Commission to use the information as 

part of their regulatory oversight 

functions which includes: 

• The review of rates and charges; 

• The disposition of jurisdictional 

facilities; 

• The consolidation and mergers; 

• The adequacy of supply and; 

• Reliability of nation’s transmission 

grid. 

The FERC–715 enables the 

Commission to facilitate and resolve 

transmission disputes. Additionally, the 

Office of Electric Reliability (OER) uses 

the FERC–715 data to help protect and 

improve the reliability and security of 

the nation’s bulk power system. OER 

oversees the development and review of 

mandatory reliability and security 

standards and ensures compliance with 

the approved standards by the users, 

owners, and operators of the bulk power 

system. OER also monitors and 

addresses issues concerning the nation’s 

bulk power system including 

assessments of resource adequacy and 

reliability. 

Without the FERC–715 data, the 

Commission would be unable to 

evaluate planned projects or requests 

related to transmission. 

Type of Respondents: Integrated 

transmission system facilities rated at or 

above 100 kilovolts (kV). 

Estimate of Annual Burden 2: The 

Commission estimates the total Public 

Reporting Burden for this information 

collection as: 

FERC–715—(IC12–16–000)—ANNUAL TRANSMISSION PLANNING AND EVALUATION REPORT

Number of respondents 

(A) 

Number of 

responses per 

respondent 

(B) 

Total number 

of responses

response 

(D) 

Estimated total 

annual 

burden 

(C) × (D) 

110 ........................................................................................... 1 110 160 17,600 

The total estimated annual cost 

burden to respondents is $1,214,569.23 

[17,600 hours ÷ 2080 hours per year = 

8.46153 * $143,540/year = 

$1,214,569.23] 

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;

of the burden and cost of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used;
