SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FERC is 

requesting comments on the record 

retention requirement FERC–915,1

‘‘Public Utility Market-Based Rate 

Authorization Holders—Records 

Retention Requirement,’’ OMB Control 

No. 1902–0223. 

In accordance with the Federal Power 

Act, the Department of Energy 

Organization Act (DOE Act), and the 

Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), 

the Commission regulates the 

transmission and wholesale sales of 

electricity in interstate commerce, 

monitors and investigates energy 

markets, uses civil penalties and other 

means against energy organizations and 

individuals who violate FERC rules in 

the energy markets, and administers 

accounting and financial reporting 

regulations and oversees conduct of 

regulated companies. 

The Commission imposes the FERC– 

915 record retention requirement, in 18 

CFR 35.41(d), on applicable sellers to 


erowe on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 110 / Wednesday, June 10, 2009 / Notices 27521 

retain, for a period of five years, all data 

and information upon which they bill 

the prices charged for ‘‘electric energy 

or electric energy products it sold 

pursuant to Seller’s market-based rate 

tariff, and the prices it reported for use 

in price indices.’’ 

The record retention period of five 

years is necessary due to the importance 

of records related to any investigation of 

possible wrongdoing and related to 

assuring compliance with the codes of 

conduct and the integrity of the market. 

The requirement is necessary to ensure 

consistency with the rule prohibiting 

market manipulation (adopted in Order 

No. 670) and the generally applicable 

five-year statute of limitations where the 

Commission seeks civil penalties for 

violations of the anti-manipulation rules 

or other rules, regulations, or orders to 

which the price data may be relevant. 

Action: FERC is requesting a threeyear extension of the current expiration 

date for the FERC–915,1 with no 

changes to the requirements. 

Burden Statement: Public reporting 

burden for this collection is estimated 

at: 

FERC requirements 

Number of 

respondents 

annually 

Number of 

responses per 

respondent 

Average 

burden hours 

per response 

Total annual 

burden hours 

(1) (2) (3) (1)×(2)×(3) 

FERC–915 ........................................................................................................ 1,150 1 1 1,150

The estimated total annual cost to 

respondents includes hours for labor 

(1,150 hrs. at $17 per hour, for a labor 

cost of $19,550) and storage costs (using 

an estimated 65,000 cu. ft of records in 

off-site storage, for a total storage cost of 

$419,858). The total annual cost (labor 

plus off-site storage) is $439,408; the 

total annual cost per respondent is $382. 

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.

Secretary.
