SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Credit Related Information Sharing Between RTOs/ISOs.
OMB Control No.: 1902-0325.
Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-1005 information
collection requirements with no changes to the on-going reporting
requirements.
Abstract: In 2023, FERC issued the Final Rule in Docket No. RM22-
13-000 discussing the need for RTOs/ISOs to share credit related
information with each other. The credit-related information sharing is
intended to reduce the risk of liquidity failures amongst utilities. As
described in the Final Rule, the Commission revised section 35.47 of
Title 18 of the Code of Federal Regulations to permit credit-related
information sharing between organized wholesale electric markets. The
rule does not create an information collection that is submitted to
FERC, rather it permits the ability to share information between RTOs/
ISOs and directs RTOs/ISOs to update their tariff provisions to include
processes and procedures to do so. At that time RTOs/ISOs were required
to update their tariff provisions to enable credit-related information
sharing. This process has been completed, which is why the Commission
is removing the burden related to this action. The remaining burden is
associated with facilitating the information sharing between entities
in accordance with each RTO's/ISO's processes and procedures.

Type of Respondents: RTOs/ISOs.
Estimate of Annual Burden: \1\ The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden for the information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Commission defines burden 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, reference 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.

Comments: Comments are invited 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\ The 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.
