The estimated total cost to 

respondents is $607.62. [10 hours 

divided by 2080 hours 1 per year, times 

$126,384 2 equals $607.62]. The average 

cost per respondent is $60.76. 

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) The 

accuracy of the agency’s burden 

estimate of the proposed information 

collection, including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used to 

calculate the reporting burden; (2) ways 

to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected.

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended, and the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission’s (Commission) 

regulations (18 CFR Part 380), the Office 

of Energy Projects has reviewed an 

application for amendment of license 

and has prepared an environmental 

assessment (EA) regarding the licensee’s 

request to amend the project license to 

include the jurisdictional TurtleFlambeau Storage Reservoir as a project 

feature of the Big Falls Project. The Big 

Falls Project is located on the Flambeau 

River in Rusk County, Wisconsin. This 

EA concludes that the proposed action, 

with recommended measures, would 

not constitute a major Federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment. 

Copies of the EA are available in the 

Public Reference Room of the 

Commission’s offices at 888 First Street, 

NE., Room 1–A, Washington, DC
