3 ‘‘Burden’’ is the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to generate, 

maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information 

to or for a Federal agency. For further explanation 

of what is included in the information collection 

burden, refer to Title 5 Code of Federal Regulations 

1320.3. 

4Costs (for wages and benefits) are based on the 

mean wage estimate by the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics’ (BLS) Occupational Employment and 

Wage Statistics (OEWS) program from May 2020 

(https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm.) 

and benefits information, accounting for 70.3% of 

average employment (released March 2021) for 

private industry workers (https://www.bls.gov/ 

news.release/ecec.nr0.htm). We estimate the total 

time required per change to be 320 hours. Because 

a response encompasses one year where there are, 

on average, 1.5 changes, the total time per response 

is 480 hours (1.5 × 320 hours). 

5The loaded hourly wage for each occupation is 

as follows: 

• Computer Systems Analysts: $47.63 (base 

hourly wage) ÷ 70.3% (benefits) = $67.75. 

• Legal: $100 (base hourly wage) ÷ 70.3% 

(benefits) = $142.25. 

• Database Administrators and Architects: $50.65 

(base hourly wage) ÷ 70.3% (benefits) = $71.92. 

6 Each RTO/ISO electronically submits data daily. 

To match with past filings, we are considering the 

collection of daily responses to be a single response. 

7 Each RTO/ISO is estimated to make one and a 

half changes yearly. To be consistent with the 

formulation that the submissions over the course of 

a year constitute a single response, for the purpose 

of this calculation, we are assuming that each 

response requires one and a half changes over the 

course of the year and estimating burden 

accordingly. 

8 The rounded weighted hourly cost breakdown 

includes: [(0.75 * $67.75) + (0.125 * $142.25) + 

(0.125 * $71.92)] = $77.59. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 The 

Commission estimates the total annual 

burden and cost 4 for this information 

collection as follows. The ongoing 

electronic delivery of data requires the 

following occupations (which includes 

wages and benefits): 5

• 75% of the time is spent by 

Computer Systems Analysts 

(Occupational Code: 15–1211) at 

$67.75/hr., 

• 12.5% of the time is spent by Legal 

(Occupation Code: 23–0000) at $142.25/ 

hr., and 

• 12.5% of the time is spent by 

Database Administrators and Architects 

(Occupational Code: 15–1245) at 

$71.92/hr., 

Therefore, we use the weighted 

hourly cost (for wages and benefits) of 

$77.59.8

its application. If the licensee of such a 

project has not filed an application for 

a subsequent license, then it may be 

required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b), 

to continue project operations until the 

Commission issues someone else a 

license for the project or otherwise 

orders disposition of the project. 

If the project is subject to section 15 

of the FPA, notice is hereby given that 

an annual license for Project No. 3251 

is issued to Cornell University for a 

period effective July 1, 2021 through
