SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Description

The energy information collection

submitted to OMB for review contains:

1. Collection of Information: FERC

Form 566 ‘‘Annual Report of a Utility’s

Twenty Largest Purchasers’’

2. Sponsor: Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission.

3. Control No.: OMB No. 1902–0114.

The Commission is now requesting that

OMB approve a three-year extension of

the current expiration date, with no

changes to the existing collection. This

is a mandatory information collection

requirement.

4. Necessity of Collection of

Information: Submission of the

information is necessary to fulfill the

requirements of Section 305 of the

Federal Power Act (FPA), as amended

by Title II, section 211 of the Public

Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978

(PURPA). FPA section 305—Officials

Dealing in Securities-Interlocking

Directorates defines the annual

reporting requirements for public utility

officers and directors to report office

and director positions they hold with,

among other entities, a public utility’s

top twenty customers of electric energy.

FPA section 305(c)(2) states ‘‘each

public utility shall publish a list,

pursuant to rules prescribed by the

Commission * * * This statutory

requirement to publish the customers’’

list allows the public the opportunity to

compare the customers listed with the

interlocking directorate information

filed in FERC Form 561 (1902–0099), by

public utility officers and directors, for

identification of positions where the

relationship may be employed, for

example to the detriment of the utility,

or the public interest. The required

public utility filers, the necessary filing

information, the requirement to publish

the information and the filing deadline

are all specifically mandated by the

FPA. The Commission is not

empowered to amend or waive these

statutory requirements. Requirements

the Commission has the authority to

amend, such as the filing format and the

number of required copies are found at

18 CFR 46.3.

5. Respondent Description: The

respondent universe currently

comprises on average approximately

175 public utilities.

6. Estimated Burden: 1,050 total

burden hours, 175 respondents, 1

response annually, 6 hours per response

(average).

7. Estimated Cost Burden to

Respondents: 1,050 hours ÷ 2,080 hours

per year × $117,041 per year = $ 59,083,

average cost per respondent = $338.

Statutory Authority: Sections 211 of

the Public Utility Regulatory Policies

Act of 1978 (PURPA) (16 U.S.C. 825d as

amended and 16 U.S.C. 2601) and

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 243 / Tuesday, December 18, 2001 / Notices 65187

U.S.C. 825d).
