SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–912, PURPA Section 

210(m) Notification Requirements 

Applicable to Cogeneration and Small 

Power Production Facilities. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0237. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–912 information collection 

requirements with no changes to the 

current reporting requirements. 

Abstract: On 8/8/2005, the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) 1 was 

signed into law. Section 1253(a) of 

EPAct 2005 amends Section 210 of the 

Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 

1978 (PURPA) by adding subsection 

‘‘(m),’’ that provides, based on a 

specified showing, for the termination 

and subsequent reinstatement of an 

electric utility’s obligation to purchase 

from, and sell energy and capacity to, 

qualifying facilities (QFs). In 2019, the 

Commission revised its regulations in 

18 CFR 292.309–292.313 in Docket No. 

RM19–15–000 to account for industry 

changes. These industry changes 

include: the decrease in reliance on oil 

and natural gas, the increase of natural 

gas supply due to access of shale 

reserves, and the decreasing costs of 

renewable energy sources. Due to the 

modifications in the rulemaking, the 

Commission revised its information 

collection requirements. The 

Commission now collects the following 

information on FERC Form 912: 

• § 292.310: an electric utility’s 

application for the termination of its 

obligation to purchase energy from a 

QF, 

• § 292.311: an affected entity or 

person’s application to the Commission 

for an order reinstating the electric 

utility’s obligation to purchase energy 

from a QF, 

• § 292.312: an electric utility’s 

application for the termination of its 

obligation to sell energy and capacity to 

QFs, and 

• § 292.313: an affected entity or 

person’s application to the Commission 

for an order reinstating the electric 

utility’s obligation to sell energy and 

capacity to QFs.2

Type of Respondents: Electric 

utilities. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 3

The Commission estimates the total 

Public Reporting Burden and cost for 

this information collection as follows:

36122 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 15, 2022 / Notices 

4The estimates for cost per response are derived 

using the following formula: Average Burden Hours 

per Response * $87.00 per Hour = Average Cost per 

Response. The hourly cost figure comes from the 

FERC average salary ($180,702/year). Commission 

staff believes the 2021 FERC average salary to be a 

representative wage for industry respondents.

Abstract: The National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) for Primary Magnesium 

Refining (40 CFR part 63, subpart 

TTTTT) were proposed on January 22, 

2003; promulgated on October 10, 2003; 

and amended on April 20, 2006. These 

regulations apply to existing and new 

facilities that perform primary 

magnesium refining where the total 

hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) emitted 

are greater than, or equal to, 10 tons per 

year for each HAP, or where the total 

HAPs emitted are greater than, or equal 

to, 25 tons per year of any combination 

of HAPs. New facilities include those 

that commenced either construction or 

reconstruction after the date of proposal. 

This information is being collected to 

assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart TTTTT. In general, all NESHAP 

standards require initial notifications, 

performance tests, and periodic reports 

by the owners/operators of the affected 

facilities. They are also required to 

maintain records of the occurrence and 

duration of any startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction in the operation of an 

affected facility, or any period during 

which the monitoring system is 

inoperative. These notifications, reports, 

and records are essential in determining
