Currently, OE uses Form OE–417 to
monitor major system incidents on the
electric power systems, assess power
generating capacity in the event of a
significant disruption, and to conduct
after-action non-regulatory
investigations on significant
interruptions of electric power. The
information is used to meet DOE
national-security responsibilities and
requirements as set forth in the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security’s
National Response Framework. The
information may also be used in
developing legislative
recommendations/reports to Congress
and coordinating Federal efforts
regarding activities such as incidents/
disturbances in critical infrastructure
protection, the continuity of electric
industry operations, and the continuity
of operations. The information
submitted may also be used by OE to
analyze significant power interruptions
of electric power from a non-regulatory
perspective.
Based upon feedback received from
the 60-Day Federal Register Notice, OE
does not intend to proceed with
protecting Schedule 2 of Form OE–417
under the Confidential Information
Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act
of 2002. Instead, OE proposes to
maintain the current data protections of
the form.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 2,924;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of Total
Responses: 300;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 5061 hours;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0. There
are no additional costs to respondents
associated with the survey other than
the costs associated with the burden
hours.
Statutory Authority: Section 13(b) of the
Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974,
Pub. L. 93–275, codified at 15 U.S.C. 772(b).
Issued in Washington, DC, on December
22, 2014.
