[There will 6 ICRs submitted with a
consolidated supporting statement for the NOPR in RM11-24.] Per
sections 304 and 309 of the Federal Power Act, FERC is authorized
to collect and record data to the extent it considers necessary,
and to prescribe rules and regulations concerning accounts, records
and memoranda. FERC may prescribe a system of accounts for
jurisdictional companies and may determine the accounts in which
particular outlays and receipts will be entered, charged or
credited. Form No. 1 (Annual Report of Major Public Utilities,
Licensees and Others) is a comprehensive financial and operating
report submitted for Electric Rate regulation and financial
audits.
For the 6 ICRs affected by the
NOPR in RM11-24, the only changes in the burden are: (a) program
increases in the estimated burden per response due to the new data
requirements, (b) new one-time OATT filings under FERC-917 that
accounts for one response from each of the existing 132
respondents, and (c) agency adjustments resulting from slight
changes in the number of entities filing the forms including one
additional filer of Form 1. The number of filers of Form 1-F and 3Q
is unchanged. FERC is requesting comment on proposals developed as
a result of comments received in response to a Notice of Inquiry
(NOI) issued on June 16, 2011. The NOPR explains
