accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records.

Title: FERC–912, PURPA Section 

210(m) Notification Requirements 

Applicable to Cogeneration and Small 

Power Production Facilities. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0237. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–912 information collection 

requirements with no changes to the 

current reporting requirements. 

Abstract: On 8/8/2005, the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) 1 was 

signed into law. Section 1253(a) of 

EPAct 2005 amends Section 210 of the 

Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 

1978 (PURPA) by adding subsection 

‘‘(m),’’ that provides, based on a 

specified showing, for the termination 

and subsequent reinstatement of an 

electric utility’s obligation to purchase 

from, and sell energy and capacity to, 

qualifying facilities (QFs). In 2019 the 

Commission revised its regulations in 

18 CFR 292.309–292.313 in Docket No. 

RM19–15–000 to account for industry 

changes. These industry changes 

include: The decrease in reliance on oil 

and natural gas, the increase of natural 

gas supply due to access of shale 

reserves, and the decreasing costs of 

renewable energy sources. Due to the 

modifications in the rulemaking, the 

Commission revised its information 

collection requirements. The 

Commission now collects the following 

information on FERC Form 912: 

• § 292.310: An electric utility’s 

application for the termination of its 

obligation to purchase energy from a 

QF, 

• § 292.311: An affected entity or 

person’s application to the Commission 

for an order reinstating the electric 

utility’s obligation to purchase energy 

from a QF, 

• § 292.312: An electric utility’s 

application for the termination of its 

obligation to sell energy and capacity to 

QFs, and 

• § 292.313: An affected entity or 

person’s application to the Commission 

for an order reinstating the electric 

utility’s obligation to sell energy and 

capacity to QFs.2

Type of Respondents: Electric 

utilities. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 The 

Commission estimates the total Public 

Reporting Burden and cost for this 

information collection as follows:
