Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 67 / Thursday, April 9, 2009 / Notices 16199 

Description (Public Land States/NonPublic Land States (Rectangular or NonRectangular Survey System Lands in 

Public Land States))’’; OMB Control 

Number 1902–0145) to collect 

information required by the statutory 

provisions of Section 24 of the Federal 

Power Act (FPA), (16 U.S.C.818). 

Applicants proposing hydropower 

projects, or changes to existing projects 

located on lands owned by the United 

States are required to provide a 

description of the U.S. lands affected, to 

the Commission and Secretary of 

Interior. FERC Form No. 587 

consolidates the information required, 

and identifies hydropower project 

boundary maps associated with lands of 

the United States. The Commission 

verifies the accuracy of the information 

supplied and coordinates with the 

Bureau Land of Management State 

Offices (BLM), so the U.S. lands can be 

reserved as hydropower sites and 

withdrawn from other uses. 

When the filer submits the FERC–587, 

the filer is also required to submit 

exhibit drawings (e.g., on aperture cards 

and/or electronic files). The FERC–587 

serves as a ‘‘table of contents’’ for the 

Federal lands that are shown in the 

drawings. The reporting requirements 

and burdens related to the preparation 

and submittal of the actual drawings are 

included, as appropriate, in: FERC–512 

(Application for Preliminary Permits; 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0073), FERC– 

500 (Application for License/Relicense 

for Water Projects with Capacity Greater 

than 5 MW; OMB Control No. 1902– 

0058), and FERC–505 (Application for 

License/Relicense for Water Projects 

with Capacity 5 MW or Less; OMB 

Control No. 1902–0115).) 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of the current 

expiration date, with no change to the 

existing collection of data. 

Burden Statement: Public reporting 

burden for this collection is estimated 

as: 

FERC data collection 

Number of 

respondents 

annually 

Number of 

responses per 

respondent 

Average 

burden hours 

per 

response 

Total annual 

burden hours 

(1) (2) (3) (1)×(2)×(3) 

FERC–587 ....................................................................................................... 250 1 1 250 

The total estimated annual cost is 

$12,500 (250 hours at $50/hour). The 

estimated annual cost per respondent is 

$50. [These figures are based on the 

estimated median salary (adjusted for 

inflation) for a civil engineering 

technician, from the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, Occupational Employment 

Statistics.] 

The reporting burden includes the 

total time, effort, or financial resources 

expended to generate, maintain, retain, 

disclose, or provide the information 

including: (1) Reviewing instructions; 

(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and 

utilizing technology and systems for the 

purposes of collecting, validating, 

verifying, processing, maintaining, 

disclosing and providing information; 

(3) adjusting the existing ways to 

comply with any previously applicable 

instructions and requirements; (4) 

training personnel to respond to a 

collection of information; (5) searching 

data sources; (6) completing and 

reviewing the collection of information; 

and (7) transmitting, or otherwise 

disclosing the information. 

The estimate of cost for respondents 

is based upon salaries for professional 

and clerical support, as well as direct 

and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs 

include all costs directly attributable to 

providing this information, such as 

administrative costs and the cost for 

information technology. Indirect or 

overhead costs are costs incurred by an 

organization in support of its mission. 

These costs apply to activities which 

benefit the whole organization rather 

than any one particular function or 

activity. 

Comments are invited on: (1) Whether 

the proposed collections of information 

are 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 

estimates of the burden of the proposed 

collections of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses.
