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:

Estimated cost burden to respondents 

is $4,861.00. (80 hours/2080 hours per 

year times $126,384 per year average per 

employee = $4,861.00). The cost per 

respondent is $608.00. 

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.
