SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–520 (Application for 

Authority to Hold Interlocking 

Directorate Positions). 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0083. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–520 information collection 

requirements with no revisions to the 

current requirements. 

Abstract: FERC Form No. 520 is an 

application requesting FERC 

authorization for officers and directors 

of regulated public utilities to 

simultaneously hold positions of 

officers and directors of certain other 

entities. Section 305(b)(1) of the Federal 

Power Act (FPA) 1 prohibits the holding 

of specific interlocking positions unless 

the Commission has authorized the 

holding of such positions upon a 

determination that neither public nor 

private interests will be adversely 

affected. 

FERC–520 consists of three 

information collection activities. A ‘‘full 

application,’’ in accordance with 18 

CFR 45.8, provides detailed information 

about the positions for which 

authorization is sought, including a 

description of duties. Submission of a 

more streamlined ‘‘informational 

report,’’ in accordance with 18 CFR 

45.9, is a condition for an automatic 

grant of authorization to hold 

interlocking directorates. This automatic 

authorization is available only to certain 

types of officers and directors. Finally, 

a ‘‘notice of change,’’ in accordance 

with 18 CFR 45.5, is required within 60 

days after an officer or director resigns 

or withdraws from Commissionauthorized interlocked positions or if 

the applicant is not re-elected or 

reappointed to the interlocked position. 

However, no notice of change is 

required if the only change is: (1) A 

resignation or withdrawal from fewer 

than all positions held between or 

among affiliated public utilities; (2) a 

reelection or reappointment to a 

position that was previously authorized; 

or (3) holding a different or additional 

interlocking position that would qualify 

for automatic authorization under 18 

CFR 45.9. 

The Commission published a 60-day 

notice on August 11, 2021 (86 FR 44013) 

and received no comments. 

Types of Respondents: Officers and 

directors of public utilities seeking 

authorization to hold interlocking 

directorates.

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.
