requirements.
    Abstract: This survey covers outreach under the Office of Public 
Participation, Office of External Affairs.\1\ FERC collects 
voluntarily-provided information on individual or stakeholder interests 
to engage with them by providing, to the extent possible, targeted 
information consistent with their expressed interest. FERC also 
collects contact information to keep email distributions to be used to 
inform interested individuals of technical conferences, workshops, user 
group meetings, certain proceedings or of press releases or 
newsletters.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ FERC-1002 covers two areas of outreach for customer 
engagement from the Office of Public Participation: Subscribe for 
Updates From the Office of Public Participation [verbar] Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission (<a href="http://ferc.gov">ferc.gov</a>): FERC Insight Newsletter 
[verbar] Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This information collection is used to conduct customer engagement 
activities. Customer engagement is critical to further the Commission's 
goal of facilitating the public's understanding of FERC's work and 
encouraging their participation in FERC matters. This data allows FERC 
to understand which areas of its work are of greater interest to the 
public and where additional public outreach and educational materials 
or other resources are needed the most.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \2\ The following tables set forth the 
estimated annual burden and cost \3\ for the information collections:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. For 
further explanation of what is included in the information 
collection burden, see 5 CFR 1320.3.
    \3\ Commission staff estimates that industry is similarly 
situated in terms of hourly cost (for wages plus benefits). Based on 
the Commission's FY (Fiscal Year) 2026 average cost (for wages plus 
benefits), $102/hour is used.
