SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

information collected under the 

requirements of FERC–65 ‘‘Notification 

of Holding Company Status’’ (OMB No. 

1902–0218) is used by the Commission 

to implement the statutory provisions of 

the Public Utility Holding Company Act 

of 2005 (PUHCA 2005). Among other 

things, PUHCA 2005 was intended to 

give the Commission access to books 

and records relevant to costs incurred 

by a public utility or natural gas 

company which are necessary or 

appropriate for the protection of utility 

customers with respect to jurisdictional 

rates. For the Commission to carry out 

its rate regulation responsibilities, it 

must know who the entities are that are 

holding companies of jurisdictional 

public utilities and natural gas 

companies. The Commission obtains 

this information through the FERC–65 

filings. 

The FERC–65 is a one-time 

informational filing set out in the 

Commission’s regulations 18 CFR 366.4 

that must be submitted within 30 days 

of becoming a holding company. The 

information is required in no specific 

format and consists of the identity of the 

holding company and of the public 

utilities and natural gas companies in 

the holding company system and the 

identity of service companies, including 

special-purpose subsidiaries providing 

non-power goods and services and the 

identity of all affiliates and subsidiaries 

and their corporate relationship to each 

other. Filings may be submitted in 

hardcopy or electronically through the 

Commission’s eFiling system. 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of the current 

expiration date. 

Burden Statement: Public reporting 

burden for this collection is estimated 

as: 
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 201 / Thursday, October 16, 2008 / Notices 61415 

1Number of hours an employee works each year. 2Average annual salary per employee. 

Number of respondents annually 

Number of 

responses per 

respondent 

Average burden hours per 

response 

Total annual 

burden hours 

(1) (2) (3) (1) × (2) × (3) 

30 1 3 90 

The estimated total cost to 

respondents is $5,468. [90 hours 

divided by 2080 hours 1 per year, times 

$126,384 2 equals $5,468.54]. The 

average cost per respondent is $182.28. 

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, 

using 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 

filing 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 cost estimate 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 information collection is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Commission; (2) the 

accuracy of the Commission’s burden 

estimate of the proposed information 

collection, including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used to 

calculate the reporting burden; and (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected.

Secretary.

the statutory provisions of the Public

Among other things, PUHCA 2005 was 

intended to give the Commission access 

to books and records relevant to costs 

incurred by a public utility or natural

requirements for any holding company 

with respect to one or more of the 

following: (1) Single-state holding 

company systems; (2) holding 

companies that own generating facilities 

that total 100 MW or less in size and are 

used fundamentally for their own load 

or for sales to affiliated end-users; or (3) 

investors in independent transmissiononly companies. 

Entities meeting these criteria may file 

a FERC–65B pursuant to the notification 

procedures contained in 18 CFR 366.4 

to obtain a waiver. Filings may be made 

in hardcopy or electronically through 

the Commission’s Web site. 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of the current 

expiration date.
