FOR FURTHER INFORMATION:

This
notice is combined for administrative
purposes only. The FERC–511 and
FERC–515 will remain separate
information collections with separate
OMB Control Numbers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

FERC–511
Title: Transfer of Hydropower
License.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0069.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–511 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–511 to
implement the statutory provisions of
Sections 4(e) and 8 of the Federal Power
Act (FPA).2 Section 4(e) authorizes the
Commission to issue licenses for the
construction, operation and
maintenance of reservoirs,
powerhouses, and transmission lines or
other facilities necessary for the
development and improvement of

navigation and for the development,
transmission, and utilization of power.3
Section 8 of the FPA provides that the
voluntary transfer of any license is made
only with the written approval of the
Commission. Any successor to the
licensee may assign the rights of the
original licensee but is subject to all of
the conditions of the license. The
information filed with the Commission
is a mandatory requirement contained
in the format of a written application for

transfer of license, executed jointly by
the parties of the proposed transfer. The
sale or merger of a licensed
hydroelectric project may occasion the
transfer of a license. The Commission’s
staff uses the information collection to
determine the qualifications of the
proposed transferee to hold the license
and to prepare the transfer of the license
order. Approval by the Commission of
transfer of a license is contingent upon
the transfer of title to the properties

64485

under license, delivery of all license
instruments, and evidence that such
transfer is in the public interest. The
Commission implements these filing
requirements in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR Part 9.
Type of Respondents: Hydropower
Project Licensees.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 4 The
Commission estimates the total annual
Public Reporting Burden for this
information collection as:

Title: Rules of Practice and Procedure:
Declaration of Intention.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0079.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–515 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–515 to
implement the statutory provisions of
Section 23(b) of the FPA.6 Section 23(b)
authorized the Commission to make a
determination as to whether it has
jurisdiction over a proposed water

project 7 not affecting navigable waters 8
but across, along, over, or in waters over
which Congress has jurisdiction under
its authority to regulate commerce with
foreign nations and among the several
States. Section 23(b) requires that any
person intending to construct project
works on such waters must file a
declaration of their intention with the
Commission. If the Commission finds
the proposed project will have an
impact on interstate or foreign
commerce, then the entity intending to
construct the project must obtain a
Commission license or exemption
before starting construction.9 The
information is collected in the form of
a written application, containing
sufficient details to allow the
Commission staff to research the

jurisdictional aspects of the project.
This research includes examining maps
and land ownership records to establish
whether or not there is Federal
jurisdiction over the lands and waters
affected by the project. A finding of nonjurisdictional by the Commission
eliminates a substantial paperwork
burden for the applicant who might
otherwise have to file for a license or
exemption application. The
Commission implements these filing
requirements under 18 CFR Part 24.
Type of Respondents: Persons
intending to construct project works on
certain waters described above.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The
Commission estimates the total annual
Public Reporting Burden for this
information collection as:
