This ICR request (for a non-substantive or no material changes) discusses clarifications made in Order 816-A (81FR33375, 5/26/2016; on rehearing in Docket No. RM14-14-001). Compliance with Federal Power Act (FPA) Sections 205 and 206 make collection of this information necessary. Specifically, Section 205 of the FPA requires just and reasonable rates and charges. Section 206 allows the Commission to revoke a seller’s market-based rate authorization if it determines that the seller may have gained market power since its original authorization to charge market-based rates. The information collection requirements for FERC-919 are contained within the following categories: • Initial market power analyses to qualify for authority to charge market-based rates; • Triennial market power analysis in Category 2 seller updates , • Quarterly land acquisition reports , • Change in status reports . Pursuant to sections 205 and 206 of the FPA, the Commission is amending its regulations to revise Subpart H to Part 35 of Title 18 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), which governs market-based rate authorizations for wholesale sales of electric energy, capacity, and ancillary services by public utilities. The final rule in RM14-14 revises the information collection requirements, including: (1) creating a 100 MW threshold for reporting new affiliations; (2) discontinuing quarterly land acquisition reporting; (3) requiring organization charts; (4) refining some entries in Appendix A, Standard Screen Formats, and Submittal 2 (Table 2) to provide more detail, including the requirement that the data be submitted in a workable electronic spreadsheet format; and (5) adding additional reporting requirements to Appendix B, Asset Appendix, including a requirement that the data be submitted in a workable electronic spreadsheet format.

FERC is eliminating some filings (quarterly land acquisition reports) and requirements, clarifying others, and adding minimal requirements. The total burden estimate for all market-based rate sellers is estimated to be a small net reduction in burden hours from 85,444 to 84,470. This represents a reduction in total annual burden for FERC-919 of 974 hours.
