SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Description

The energy information collection

submitted to OMB for review contains:

1. Collection of Information: FERC–

523 ‘‘Securities Authorization’’.

2. Sponsor: Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission.

3. Control No: OMB No. 1902–0043.

The Commission is now requesting that

OMB approve a three-year extension of

these mandatory information collection

4. Necessity of Collection of

Information: Submission of the

information is necessary to enable the

Commission to carry out its

responsibilities in implementing the

statutory provisions of sections 19, 20

and 204 of the Federal Power Act (FPA).

Under the FPA, a public utility or

licensee must obtain Commission

authorization for the issuance of

securities or the assumption of

liabilities pursuant to the sections

identified above. Public utilities or

licensees are not permitted to issue

securities or assume any obligations or

liabilities as guarantor, indorser, or

surety or otherwise in respect of any

other security of another person, unless

and until, they have submitted an

application to the Commission who in

turn, issues an order authorizing

assumption of the liability or issuance

of the securities. The information filed

in applications to the Commission is

used to determine the Commission’s

acceptance and/or rejection for granting

authorization for either issuances of

securities or assumptions of obligations

or liabilities to licensees and public

utilities. The Commission implements

these filing requirements in the Code of

Federal Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR

parts 20, 34, 131.43, 131.50.

respondent universe currently

comprises on average, 90 respondents,

burden hours, 90 respondents, 90

response annually (1 response per

respondent), 110 hours per response

7. Estimated Cost Burden to

Respondents: 9,900 hours÷2,080 hours

per year×$97,534 per year=$464,224.

Statutory Authority: Sections 19, 20 and

204 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16

U.S.C. 792–828c.

Dominion Transmission, Inc.; Notice of

Status Report and Request for Waiver

May 22, 2001.

Take notice that on May 15, 2001,

Dominion Transmission Inc. (DTI)

tendered for filing a status report

reconciling actual stranded costs and

surcharge recoveries under DTI’s

Stranded Account No. 858 tracking

mechanism for the annual period

ending April 30, 2001.

DTI states that the purpose of this

filing is to comply with its commitment

to file a report with the Commission to

reconcile its surcharge collections and

actual costs, as it agreed to do in its

earlier March 30, 2001 filing. Further,

DTI requests waiver of Section 18.2 of

its GT&C of its tariff, so that it can return

excess collections of $177,306, with

interest, in its next annual

Transportation Cost Rate Adjustment

(TCRA) filing to become effective

November 1, 2001 rather than through

the stranded cost tracking mechanism of

its tariff.

DTI states that copies of its letter of

transmittal and enclosures are being

mailed to its customers and to interested

state commissions.

Any person desiring to protest said

filing should file a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC

20426, in accordance with section

385.211 of the Commission’s Rules and

Regulations. All such protests must be

filed on or before May 30, 2001. Protests

will be considered by the Commission

in determining the appropriate action to

be taken, but will not serve to make

protestants parties to the proceedings.

Copies of this filing are on file with the

Commission and are available for public

inspection in the Public Reference

Room. This filing may be viewed on the

web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/

rims.htm (call 202–208–2222 for

interventions may be filed electronically

via the internet in lieu of paper. See, 18
