7704 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 24 / Monday, February 5, 2024 / Notices 

2Burden 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, refer to 5 CFR 1320.3. 

3Commission staff estimates that the industry’s 

skill set and cost (for wages and benefits) for FERC– 

512 are approximately the same as the 

Commission’s average cost. The FERC 2024 average 

salary plus benefits for one FERC full-time 

equivalent (FTE) is $207,787/year (or $100/hour). 

obtaining a preliminary permit is to 

maintain priority status for an 

application for a license while the 

applicant conducts site examinations 

and surveys to inform a decision on 

whether to pursue a license for the 

project, and if so, prepare a license 

application. A preliminary permit 

neither authorizes construction of any 

facilities, nor provides the use of 

eminent domain to acquire lands for the 

project. No application for a preliminary 

permit or license submitted by another 

party can be accepted during the permit 

term. The FERC–512 is an application 

for a preliminary permit or to extend a 

preliminary permit term. Commission 

staff review preliminary permit 

applications to assess the scope of the 

proposed project, the technology to be 

used, and jurisdictional aspects of the 

project. The staff assessment includes a 

review of the proposed hydro 

development for conflicts with other 

current permits or licensed projects, and 

issuance of public notice of the permit 

application to solicit public and agency 

comments. An application for a 

preliminary permit includes the 

applicant’s name and contact 

information, a description of the 

proposed project, the requested term of 

the permit, names and addresses of the 

affected political jurisdictions, a 

verification of the application’s facts, 

and three exhibits, per 18 CFR 4.81. 

Type of Respondents: Business or 

other for-profit and not-for-profit 

entities.
