Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 192 / Thursday, October 2, 2008 / Notices 57345 

Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 

1986 (OBRA) authorizes the 

Commission to ‘‘assess and collect fees 

and annual charges in any fiscal year in 

amounts equal to all of the costs 

incurred by the Commission in that 

fiscal year.’’ The information is 

collected annually and used to 

determine the amounts of the annual 

charges to be assessed licensees for 

reimbursable government administrative 

costs and for the use of government 

dams. The Commission implements 

theses filing requirements in the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR 

part 11. 

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 annually 

Number of 

responses per 

respondent 

Average burden 

hours per 

response 

Total annual 

burden hours 

(1) (2) (3) (1) × (2) × (3) 

599 ................................................................................................................................. 1 2 1,198 h 

Estimated cost burden to respondents 

is $72,792. (1,198 hours/2,080 hours per 

year times $126,384 per year average per 

empl oyee = $72,792). The cost per 

respondent is $122 (rounded off). 

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. 

Comments are invited on: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Commission, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

the agency’s estimate of the burden of 

the proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses.

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this application. First, any person 

wishing to obtain legal status by 

becoming a party to this proceeding 

should file with the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First 

Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a 

motion to intervene in accordance with 

the requirements of the Commission’s 

Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 

385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations 

under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10) by the 

comment date, below. A person 

obtaining party status will be placed on 

the service list maintained by the 

Secretary of the Commission and will 

receive copies of all documents filed by 

the applicant and by all other parties. A 

party must submit 14 copies of filings 

made with the Commission and must 

mail a copy to the applicant and to 

every other party in the proceeding.

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to the project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party
