SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Abstract:

The information collected under the

requirements of FERC–510 ‘‘Application

for the Surrender of a Hydropower

License’’ (OMB No. 1902–0068) is used

by the Commission to implement the

statutory provisions of Part 1, Sections

4(e), 6 and 13 of the Federal Power Act,

16 U.S.C. 797(e), 799 and 806. Section

4(e) gives the Commission the authority

to issue licenses for the purpose of

constructing, operating and maintaining

dams, water conduits, reservoirs,

powerhouses, transmission lines or

other project works necessary or

convenient for developing and

improving navigation, transmission and

utilization of power over which

Congress has jurisdiction. Section 6

gives the Commission the authority to

prescribe the conditions of the licenses

including the revocation and/or

surrender of the license. Section 13

defines the Commission’s authority to

delegate time periods for when a license

must be terminated if project

construction has not begun. Surrender

of a license may be desired by a licensee

when a licensed project is retired or not

constructed. The Commission

implements these filing requirements in

the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)

under 18 CFR Sections 6.1 through 6.4.

Action: The Commission is requesting

a three-year extension of the current

expiration date, with no changes to the

existing collection of data.

Burden Statement: Public reporting

burden for this collection is estimated

as:

Number of respondents annuallyNumber of responses per

respondent

Average burden hours per response Total annual burden hours

(1) (2) (3) (1)×(2)×(3)

10 1 10 hours ........................................................................ 100 hours.

Estimated cost burden to respondents:

100 hours/2,087 hours per

year×$102,000 per year=$4,887.

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.
