SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

    Abstract: The information collected under the requirements of FERC-
520 ``Application for Authority to Hold Interlocking Directorate 
Position'' (OMB No. 1902-0083) is used by the Commission to implement 
the statutory provisions of Section 305(b) of the Federal Power Act 
(FPA), 16 U.S.C. Section 305(b) makes the holding of certain 
interlocking corporate positions unlawful unless the Commission has 
authorized the interlocks to be held, and requires of the applicant a 
showing ``in form and manner prescribed by the Commission, that neither 
public nor private interests will be adversely affected thereby.'' The 
Commission implements these filing requirements in the Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR Part 45.
    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          Number of      burden hours   Total annual burden
   respondents       responses per    per response    hours (1) x (2) x 
  annually  (1)     respondent  (2)       (3)                (3)        
------------------------------------------------------------------------
25...............             1            51.8                 1,296   
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Estimated cost burden to respondents: 1,296 hours/2,087 hours per 
year  x  $102,000 per year=$63,341.
    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.

Secretary.
