SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC-566: Annual Report of a Utility's 20 Largest
Purchasers.
OMB Control No.: 1902-0114.
Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-566 information
collection requirements with no revisions to the current requirements.
Abstract: Section 305(c) of the Federal Power Act (FPA),\1\
mandates federal oversight and approval of certain electric corporate
activities to ensure that neither public nor private interests are
adversely affected. The FPA prescribes information filing requirements
to achieve this goal. These filing requirements are found at 18 CFR
46.3, and serve as the basis for FERC-566.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 16 U.S.C. 825d.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
FERC-566 implements FPA requirements that each public utility
annually publishes a list of the 20 purchasers which purchased the
largest annual amounts of electric energy sold by such public utility
during any of the three previous calendar years. The public disclosure
of this information provides the information necessary to determine
whether an interlocked position is with any of the 20 largest
purchasers of electric energy.
Type of Respondents: Public utilities.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The Commission estimates 371 responses
annually, and 4 hours and $400 per response. The total estimated
burdens per year are 1,484 hours and $148,400. These burdens are
itemized in the following table:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number Total annual burden Cost per
Annual number of responses Average burden & hours & total respondent ($)
Number of respondents of responses (Column A x cost per response annual cost (Column (Column E /
per respondent Column B) \2\ C x Column D) Column A)
A. B. C. D................... E.................. F.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
371.................. 1 371 4 hrs.; $400........ 1,484 hrs.; $400
$148,400.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 47943]]
Comments: Please submit comments on (1) whether the 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 and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Commission staff estimates that the average industry hourly
cost for this information collection is approximated by the current
FERC 2024 average hourly costs for wages and benefits, i.e.,
$100.00/hour.
Dated: May 29, 2024.

Acting Secretary.
