As indicated in the table, there was a 

decrease from seven to six in the 

number of Regional Entities because the 

Florida Reliability Coordinating Council 

(FRCC) dissolved in July 2019. Other 

changes from previous estimates are 

based on new data in the proposed 

NERC 2022 Business Plan and Budget to 

reflect changes in the number of FTEs 

(full-time equivalent employees) 

working in applicable areas. Reviewing 

the NERC Compliance database, we 

determined the number of unique U.S. 

entities is 1,496 (compared to the 

previous value of 1,409). Lastly, in 

several instances, the amount of time an 

FTE devotes to a given function may 

have been increased or decreased. 

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; 

(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden and cost of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the 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.

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 15253–000] 

Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing 

Applications; Great Divide Energy Park 

LLC 

On December 10, 2021, Great Divide 

Energy Park LLC filed an application for 

a preliminary permit, pursuant to 

section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act 

(FPA), to study the feasibility of the 

Great Divide Closed Loop Pumped 

Storage Hydro Project to be located near 

Jeffery City, in Fremont County, 

Wyoming. The proposed project would 

be located in part on federal lands 

administered by the U.S. Bureau of 

Land Management. The sole purpose of 

a preliminary permit, if issued, is to 

grant the permit holder priority to file 

a license application during the permit 

term. A preliminary permit does not 

authorize the permit holder to perform 

any land-disturbing activities or 

otherwise enter upon lands or waters 

owned by others without the owners’ 

express permission. 

The proposed pumped storage project 

would consist of the following new 

facilities: (1) A 5,062-foot-long earthen 

and/or roller compacted concrete 

embankment, creating a reservoir with a 

normal maximum water surface area of 

8,900 feet and a storage capacity of 

6,000 acre-feet; (2) a 4,093-foot-long, 18- 

foot diameter steel penstock that would 

convey water from the upper reservoir 

to the turbine/pump units in the 

powerhouse and to the lower reservoir; 

(3) a 760-foot-long, 200-foot-wide 

powerhouse located adjacent to the 

lower reservoir containing three 133– 

MW quaternary turbine/pump unit pairs 

for a combined capacity of 

approximately 399 megawatts; (4) a 

5,371-foot-long earthen and/or roller 

compacted concrete embankment, 

creating a lower reservoir with a normal 

maximum water surface area of 7,850 

feet and a storage capacity of 6,000 acrefeet; (5) gravel access roads to provide 

access to the upper or lower reservoirs 

from existing roads; (6) a 2.37 mile-long, 

230 kilovolts (kV) transmission line; and 

(7) appurtenant facilities. The estimated 

annual generation of the Great Divide 

Closed Loop Pumped Storage Hydro 

Project would be approximately 1,861 

gigawatt-hours, (GWhs).
