7726 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 28 / Monday, February 11, 2008 / Notices 

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; and (3) the proposal to 

provide the option to collect FERC Form 

561 electronically by late 2007, as 

proposed under RM07–16–000 and any 

reduction in burden that option might 

allow filers.

Secretary.
