Clearance Officer no later than January 17, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Requests for information, including copies of the 
information collection proposed and supporting documentation, should be 
directed to the Public Information Collection Clearance Officer: 
Jennifer A. Wilds, Specialist, Records Compliance, Tennessee Valley

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Title of Information Collection: Distribution Technology Capability 
Assessment.
    Frequency of Use: Every 2 years.
    Type of Affected Public: State, local, and tribal governments; 
small businesses; non-profit organizations.
    Small Businesses or Organizations Affected: Yes.
    Federal Budget Functional Category Code: 455.
    Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 153.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 306.
    Estimated Average Burden Hours per Response: 2.0.
    Need For and Use of Information: As the Balancing Authority of the 
region, TVA must ensure the electrical grid is reliable. With the 
growth of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) on the distribution 
system, TVA and the Local Power Companies (LPCs) must work in tighter 
coordination to ensure the DER generation does not impact the 
reliability of the bulk electric system. To support this goal, TVA must 
understand the current distribution capabilities of the LPCs. Examples 
of capabilities include but are not limited to customer analytics, 
advanced asset management, advanced AMI, automated switching, DER 
monitoring & control, grid planning and voltage optimization. To ease 
access and completion, information will be submitted online. Once 
collected, the information will be reviewed by TVA staff and 
consultants to determine each LPC's state of and plan for system 
modernization and will inform strategic investment roadmaps and 
implementation plans that are being developed as part of the Regional 
Grid Transformation initiative. Summary level information will be 
provided to the participating LPCs to allow them to gauge where they 
stand in terms of their technical capabilities compared to their peers 
which could help give them useful information that informs their 
individual priorities and investment plans.

Rebecca L. Coffey,
Agency Records Officer.
