DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. IC18-5-000]

Corrected Errata Notice

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, DOE.

ACTION: Corrected errata and comment request.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission 
or FERC) is submitting the information collections FERC-917 (Non-
discriminatory Open Access Transmission Tariff) and FERC-918 
(Information to be posted on OASIS & Auditing Transmission Service 
Information) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review of 
the information collection requirements. Any interested person may file 
comments directly with OMB and should address a copy of those comments 
to the Commission as explained below. The Commission published 60-day 
and 30-day notices (in the Federal Register on February 6, 2018, and 
May 9, 2018, respectively), for the renewal of the FERC-917 and FERC-
918 information collections. Both notices requested comments on FERC-
917 and FERC-918 and indicated the Commission will submit the 
information collections to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review. The cost information was inadvertently omitted from the 
Notices. Due to this oversight, we provided an additional 15 days for 
comments, which are due June 27, 2018. In addition, some figures 
included in the Errata Notice (published in the Federal Register on 
June 12, 2018) are being corrected in this Notice. Any interested 
person may file comments directly with OMB and should address a copy of 
those comments to the Commission as explained below. (There are no 
changes to the information collections.)

DATES: Comments on the collections of information are due by June 27, 
2018.

ADDRESSES: Comments filed with OMB, identified by the OMB Control No. 
1902-0233 (FERC-917 and FERC-918) should be sent via email to the

Transmission Service Information).
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0233.

no filings of this type over the past four years. In addition, we 
estimate no filings during the next three years. The requirements 
remain in the regulations and are included as part of the OMB 
Control Number.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The estimated hourly cost (salary plus benefits) provided in 
this section is based on the salary figures for May 2017 posted by 
the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Utilities sector (available 
at http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm) and benefits data 
of May 2017 (available at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm):
    Legal (Occupation Code: 23-0000): $143.68; Consulting 
(Occupation Code: 54-1600): $89.00; Management Analyst (Occupation 
Code: 13-1111): $63.49; Office and Administrative Support 
(Occupation Code: 43-000): $40.89; Electrical Engineer (Occupation 
Code: 17-2071): $68.12; Information Security Analyst (Occupation 
Code: 15-1122): $66.34; File Clerk (Occupation Code: 43-4071): 
$32.74.
    For reporting requirements, the skill sets are assumed to 
contribute equally, so the hourly cost is an average [($143.68 + 
$89.00 + $63.49 + $40.89 + $68.12 + $66.34 + $32.74) / 7 = $72.04]. 
The figure is rounded to $72.00 per hour.
    For recordkeeping requirements, the hourly cost for a file clerk 
($32.74) is used.
    \3\ ATC-related standards include: Implementation by each 
utility (Reporting), NERC/NAESB Team to develop (Reporting), and 
Review and comment by utility (Reporting).
