SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the information collection 

requirements for FERC Form No. 60, 

FERC–61, and FERC–555A with no 

changes to the current reporting 

requirements. 

OMB Control Nos. and Titles: 1902– 

0215 ((FERC Form No. 60 (Annual 

Report of Centralized Service 

Companies), FERC–61 (Narrative 

Description of Service Company 

Functions), and FERC–555A 

(Preservation of Records Companies and 

Service Companies Subject to PUHCA)). 

Abstract: In accordance with the 

Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), 

the Commission implemented the repeal 

of the Public Utility Holding Company 

Act of 1935 (PUHCA 1935) and 

implemented the provisions of a newly 

enacted Public Utility Holding 

Company Act 2005 (PUHCA 2005). 

Pursuant to PUHCA 2005, the 

Commission requires centralized service 

companies to file FERC Form No. 60 or 

FERC–61, and comply with FERC– 

555A’s requirements unless the 

company is exempted or granted a 

waiver pursuant to the Commission’s 

regulations. The information collected 

in FERC Form No. 60 enables better 

monitoring for cross-subsidization, and 

aids the Commission in carrying out its 

statutory responsibilities. In addition, 

centralized service companies are 

required to follow the Commission’s 

preservation of records requirements for 

centralized service companies. 

FERC Form No. 60 

FERC Form No. 60 is an annual 

reporting requirement for centralized 

service companies set forth in 18 CFR 

366.23. The report’s function is to 

collect financial information (including 

balance sheet, assets, liabilities, billing 

and charges for associated and nonassociated companies) from centralized 

service companies subject to the 

Commission’s jurisdiction. Unless the 

Commission exempts or grants a waiver 

pursuant to 18 CFR 366.3 and 366.4 to 

the holding company system, every 

centralized service company in a 

holding company system must prepare 

and file electronically with the 

Commission the FERC Form No. 60, 

pursuant to the General Instructions in 

the form. 

FERC–61 

FERC–61 is a filing requirement for 

service companies in holding company 

systems (including special purpose 

companies) that are currently exempt or 

granted a waiver of FERC’s regulations 

and would not have to file FERC Form 

No. 60. Instead, those service companies 

are required to file, on an annual basis, 

a narrative description of the service 

company’s functions during the prior 

calendar year (FERC–61). In complying, 

a holding company may make a single 

filing on behalf of all of its service 

company subsidiaries. 

FERC–555A 

The Commission’s regulations 

prescribe a mandated preservation of 

records requirement for holding 

companies and service companies 

(unless otherwise exempted by FERC). 

This requires them to maintain and 

make available to FERC, their books and 

records. The preservation of records 

requirement provides for uniform 

records retention by holding companies 

and centralized service companies 

subject to PUHCA 2005.

Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 25 / Friday, February 7, 2025 / Notices 9145 

1Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide 

information to or for a Federal agency. For further 

explanation of what is included in the information 

collection burden, refer to 5 CFR 1320.3. The 

burden hours and costs are rounded for ease of 

presentation. 

2The cost for the Form 60 and FERC–61 is based 

on FERC’s 2024 Commission-wide average salary 

cost (salary plus benefits) of $100/hour. The 

Commission staff believes the FERC FTE (full-time 

equivalent) average cost for wages plus benefits is 

representative of the corresponding cost for the 

industry respondents. 

For the FERC–555A, the $39.53 hourly cost figure 

comes from the average cost (wages plus benefits) 

of a file clerk (Occupation Code 43–4071) as posted 

on the BLS website (https://www.bls.gov/oes/ 

current/naics2_22.htm). 

3Previously, the Commission estimated the 

number of FERC–61 respondents by including the 

potential for a holding company to file for a group 

of companies. In contrast, the current estimate is 

updated to instead reflect the actual number of 

filers filing the FERC–61, as opposed to the 

potential number of companies represented by the 

population of filers. The current approach is more 

precisee as it can be confirmed by reviewing the 

most recent number of FERC–61 filers. It is also 

consistent with the manner in which the number 

of respondents is estimated for other Commission 

collections. The varying corporate sizes and 

complexities inherent in the filing community is 

already taken into account via the burden hours 

estimate that is based on average filer burden. 

Data from FERC Form No. 60, FERC– 

61, and FERC–555A provide a level of 

transparency that: (1) helps protect 

ratepayers from pass-through of 

improper service company costs, (2) 

enables the Commission to review and 

determine cost allocations (among 

holding company members) for certain 

non-power goods and services, (3) aids 

the Commission in meeting its oversight 

and market monitoring obligations, and 

(4) benefits the public, both as 

ratepayers and investors. In addition, 

the Commission’s audit staff uses these 

records during compliance audits, 

reviews and special analyses. 

If data from FERC Form No. 60, 

FERC–61, and FERC–555A were not 

available, it would be difficult for the 

Commission to meet its statutory 

responsibilities under EPAct 1992, 

EPAct of 2005, and PUHCA 2005, and 

the Commission would have fewer of 

the regulatory mechanisms necessary to 

ensure transparency and protect 

ratepayers. 

Type of Respondent: Centralized 

service companies.

A more granular breakdown of the 

FERC–60/61/555A cost categories 

follows: 

Labor Cost: The total estimated 

annual cost for labor burden to 

respondents is $2,466,612.40 [$288,600 

(FERC Form No. 60) + $700 (FERC–61) 

+ $2,177,312.40 (FERC–555A)]. 

FERC Form No. 60: 37 respondents × 

$7,800 per respondent = $288,600. 

FERC–61: 14 respondents × $50 per 

respondent = $700. 

FERC–555A: 51 respondents × 

$42,692.40 per respondent = 

$2,177,312.40. 

We expect the labor cost of FERC– 

555A record keeping to trend downward 

over time as companies move their

4 Internal analysis assumes 100% electronic 

storage. 

records almost entirely to electronic 

record keeping and storage. 

Storage Cost: 4 In addition to the 

FERC–555A labor (burden cost provided 

above), there are additional costs that 

represent record retention and storage 

costs. Previously, the estimate included 

paper storage costs, but firms no longer 

rely on paper storage to maintain the 

majority of their records, therefore the 

Commission is removing the costs for 

paper storage. For electronic storage, the 

Commission estimates $10.00 per 

respondent annually. Total annual 

electronic storage cost to industry 

($10.00 × 51 respondents): $510. This 

calculation estimates storage of 1GB per 

year at $10.00. We expect that this 

estimate should continue to trend 

downward over time as the cost of 

electronic storage technology, including 

cloud storage, continues to decrease. For 

example, external hard drives of 

approximately 1,000 GB are available for 

approximately $75. In addition, cloud 

storage plans from multiple providers 

for 1TB of storage (with a reasonable 

amount of requests and data transfers) 

are available for less than $7 per month. 

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(1) whether the 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 and cost of the 

collections of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collections; and (4) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collections 

of information on those who are to 

respond, including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.
