The Department of Education is 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following issues: (1) is 

this collection necessary to the proper 

functions of the Department; (2) will 

this information be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate 

of burden accurate; (4) how might the 

Department enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

information collected under the 

requirements of FERC–510 ‘‘Application 

for Surrender of Hydropower License’’ 

(OMB No. 1902–0068) is used by the 

Commission to implement the statutory 

provisions of sections 4(e), 6 and 13 of 

the Federal Power Act (FPA) 16 U.S.C. 

sections 797(e), 799 and 806. Section 

4(e) gives the Commission authority to 

issue licenses for the purposes of 

constructing, operating and maintaining 

dams, water conduits, reservoirs, 

powerhouses, transmissions lines or 

other power project works necessary or 

convenient for developing and 

improving navigation, transmissions 

and utilization of power over which 

Congress has jurisdiction. Section 6 

gives the Commission the authority to 

prescribe the conditions of licenses 

including the revocation 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 or 

natural catastrophes have damaged or 

destroyed the project facilities. The 

information collected under the 

designation FERC–510 is in the form of 

a written application for surrender of a 

hydropower license. The information is 

used by Commission staff to determine 

the broad impact of such surrender. The 

Commission will issue a notice 

soliciting comments from the public and 

other agencies and conduct a careful 

review of the prepared application 

before issuing an order for Surrender of 

a License. The order is the result of an 

analysis of the information produced, 

i.e., economic, environmental concerns, 

etc., which are examined to determine 

if the application for surrender is 

warranted. The order implements the 

existing regulations and is inclusive for 

surrender of all types of hydropower 

licenses issued by FERC and its 

predecessor, the Federal Power 

Commission. The Commission 

implements these mandatory filing 

requirements in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) under 18 CRF 6.1– 

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:
