PRAMain, scroll to ‘‘Currently under 

Review’’, key in ‘‘Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission’’ and scroll to 

1902–0132, ‘‘Electric Fees; Annual 

Charges; Waivers; and Exemptions;’’ 

(FERC–582). 

General Comment Regarding Annual 

Fees and Charges: The commenter 

believes that the annual fees and 

charges levied on jurisdictional 

companies do not fully reflect the level 

of service provided to such companies. 

The commenter further indicates that 

the taxpayers are bearing the costs that 

corporate executives should be paying. 

FERC’s Response: Congress has 

directed the Commission to collect fees 

and annual charges equal to its 

expenses, and the Commission, in fact, 

collects fees and annual charges equal to 

its expenses. The Commission deposits 

the fees and annual charges that it 

collects with the Treasury. Therefore, 

the Commission is carrying out its 

statutory mandate, that is, the 

Commission is collecting the amount 

that Congress has directed that it collect. 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of FERC–582 

reporting requirements, with no change. 

Burden statement: The estimated 

annual burden figures and costs follow.

Total .......................................................................................................... ........................ ........................ ........................ 231 

The total estimated annual cost 

burden to respondents is $15,312 (231 

hours/2080 hours 5 per year, times 

$137,874 6). 

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 collections of information 

are 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 

estimates of the burden of the proposed 

collections 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 

collections 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.
