SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–725J, Definition of the
Bulk Electric System.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0259.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–725J information collection

requirements with no changes to the
reporting requirements.
Abstract: On December 20, 2012, the
Commission issued Order No. 773, a
Final Rule approving NERC’s
modifications to the definition of ‘‘bulk
electric system’’ and the Rules of
Procedure exception process to be
effective July 1, 2013. On April 18,
2013, in Order No. 773–A, the
Commission largely affirmed its
findings in Order No. 773. In Order Nos.
773 and 773–A, the Commission
directed NERC to modify the definition
of bulk electric system in two respects:
(1) Modify the local network exclusion
(exclusion E3) to remove the 100 kV
minimum operating voltage to allow
systems that include one or more looped
configurations connected below 100 kV
to be eligible for the local network
exclusion; and (2) modify the exclusions
to ensure that generator interconnection
facilities at or above 100 kV connected
to bulk electric system generators
identified in inclusion I2 are not
excluded from the bulk electric system.
Type of Respondents: Generator
owners, distribution providers, other
NERC-registered entities.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden 2 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.
2 The FERC–725J information collection no longer
includes reporting burden for ‘‘System Review and
List Creation’’ and ‘‘Regional and ERO Handling of
Exception Requests’’. These two response categories
were part of the reporting burden in Years 1 and
2 of the FERC–725J implementation and have been
completed.

Black Mountain Hydro, LLC; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On March 24, 2016, Black Mountain
Hydro, LLC, filed an application for a
preliminary permit, pursuant to section
4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA),
proposing to study the feasibility of the
Southern Intertie Pumped Storage
Project (Southern Intertie Project or
project) to be located on Black
Mountain, near Yerington, in Mineral
and Lyon Counties, Nevada. The sole
purpose of a preliminary permit, if
issued, is to grant the permit holder
priority to file a license application
during the permit term. A preliminary
permit does not authorize the permit
holder to perform any land-disturbing
activities or otherwise enter upon lands
or waters owned by others without the
owners’ express permission.
The proposed closed-loop pumped
storage project would consist of the
following: (1) An upper reservoir in a
natural depression having a total storage
capacity of 4,460 acre-feet at a normal
maximum operating elevation of 7,410
feet mean sea level (msl); (2) a 105-foottall, 1,500-foot-long lower dam of
indeterminate construction; (3) a lower
reservoir having a total storage capacity
of 4,384 acre-feet at a normal maximum
operating elevation of 5,500 feet msl; (4)
a 2,200-foot-long, 16.5-foot-diameter,

7,850-foot-long 16.5-foot-diameter
concrete and steel lined high pressure
tunnel; (6) a 2,200-foot-long, 20-footdiameter concrete lined tailrace; (7) a
300-foot-long, 80-foot-wide, 50-feet-high
underground powerhouse containing
three 200–MW pump-turbine generator
units; (8) a 4.6-mile-long 230-kV
transmission line; (9) a 230/500 kV
substation; and (10) appurtenant
facilities. The estimated annual
generation of the Southern Intertie
Project would be 1,577 gigawatt-hours.
