SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Description

    The energy information collection submitted to OMB for review 
contains:
    1. Collection of Information: FERC Form 1-F ``Annual Report for 
NonMajor Public Utilities, Licensees and Others''
    2. Sponsor: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
    3. Control No.: OMB No. 1902-0029. The Commission is now requesting 
that OMB approve a three-year extension of the current expiration date, 
with no changes to the existing collection. There is a decrease in the 
reporting burden due to a decline in the number of entities that submit 
this annual report. This is a mandatory information collection 
requirement.
    4. Necessity of Collection of Information: Submission of the 
information is necessary to enable the Commission to carry out its 
responsibilities in implementing the provisions of the Federal Power 
Act (FPA). Under the FPA the Commission may prescribe a system of 
accounts for jurisdictional companies, and after notice and hearing, 
may determine the accounts in which particular outlays and receipts 
will be entered, charged or credited. The FERC Form 1-F is designed to 
collect financial information from privately owned electric utilities 
and licensees who have generation, transmission, distribution and sales 
of electric energy, however produced throughout the United States and 
its possessions, subject to the Commission's jurisdiction.
    5. Respondent Description: The respondent universe currently 
comprises on average, 7 companies subject to the Commission's 
jurisdiction.
    6. Estimated Burden: 224 total burden hours, 7 respondents, 1 
response annually, 32 hours per response (average).
    7. Estimated Cost Burden to Respondents: 224 hours <divide> 2,088 
hours per year  x  $109,889 per year = $11,789, average cost per 
respondent = $1,684.

    Statutory Authority: Sections 4, 301, 304 of the Federal Power 
Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 797a-825.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
