Purpose of the Meeting

The meeting of the re-established Electricity Advisory Committee is expected to include introduction of Committee Members, discussion of the 2010–2011 objectives of the Committee, and a discussion of whether to establish subcommittees on specific subjects. Tentative Agenda
The principal business item on the agenda will be to begin the Committee’s consideration and selection of study topics related to electricity delivery that it will focus on over the coming 12–24 months.

The meeting agenda may change to accommodate Committee business. For Committee agenda updates, see the Committee Web site at: http:// www.oe.energy.gov/eac.htm

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The information required by FERC–582,

‘‘Electric Fees; Annual Charges; Waivers; and Exemptions; ’’ OMB Control No. 1902–0132, covers the filing requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) under Title 18, Part
381 1 and Part 382. 2

FERC–582 is used by the Commission to implement the statutory provisions of the Independent Offices Appropriation Act of 1952 (IOAA) (31 U.S.C. 9701) which authorizes the Commission to establish fees for its services. 3 In addition, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 (OBRA) (42 U.S.C. 7178) authorizes the Commission

‘‘to assess and collect fees and annual charges in any fiscal year in amounts equal to all the costs incurred by the Commission in that fiscal year. ’’

In calculating electric fees and annual charges, the Commission first determines the total costs of its electric regulatory program and then subtracts all electric regulatory program filing fee collections to determine the total collectible electric regulatory program costs. The data submitted under FERC–
582 4 is used to determine the annual charge levied on each utility and is based on the total megawatt-hours (MWh) of transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce. This is measured by the sum of the MWh of all unbundled transmission (including MWh delivered in wheeling transactions and MWh delivered in exchange transactions) and the MWh of all bundled wholesale power sales (to the extent these later MWh were not separately reported as unbundled transmission).

Public utilities and power marketers subject to these annual charges must submit FERC–582 data to the Commission by April 30 of each year (18 CFR 382.201). The Commission issues bills for annual charges, and public utilities and power marketers then must pay the charges within 45 days of the Commission’s issuance of the bill.

Requests for waivers and exemptions of fees and charges (required by 18 CFR Parts 381 and 382) are filed, based on need. The Commission’s staff uses the filer’s financial information to evaluate the request for a waiver or exemption of the obligation to pay a fee or an annual charge.

Public Comment and FERC response. Following is a summary of the comment filed by the public on FERC–582
