requirements for all collections
described below with no changes to the
current reporting requirements. Please
note that each collection is distinct from
the next.
Comments: Comments are invited on:
(1) Whether the collections of
information are necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimates of the burden and cost 1 of the
collections of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the
information collections; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collections
of information on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
FERC–511, Transfer of Electric 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
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: The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information
collection as:

time, effort, or financial resources expended by

Abstract: The Commission uses the
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–515 to
implement the statutory provisions of
section 23(b) of the Federal Power Act
(FPA).4 Section 23(b) authorizes the
Commission to make a determination as

to whether it has jurisdiction over a
proposed water project 5 not affecting
navigable waters 6 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

purpose of utilizing the surplus water or water
power from any Government dam.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 133 / Tuesday, July 12, 2016 / Notices
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.7
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.

Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information

Hinshaw Exemption
OMB Control No.: 1902–0116.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–574 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–574 to
implement the statutory provisions of
sections 1(c), 4 and 7 of the Natural Gas
Act (NGA).8 Natural gas pipeline
companies file applications with the
Commission furnishing information in

order to facilitate a determination of an
applicant’s qualification for an
exemption under the provisions of the
section 1(c). If the Commission grants
exemption, the natural gas pipeline
company is not required to file
certificate applications, rate schedules,
or any other applications or forms
prescribed by the Commission.
The exemption applies to companies
engaged in the transportation, sale, or
resale of natural gas in interstate
commerce if: (a) They receive gas at or
within the boundaries of the state from
another person at or within the

boundaries of that state; (b) such gas is
ultimately consumed in such state; (c)
the rates, service and facilities of such
company are subject to regulation by a
State Commission; and (d) that such
State Commission is exercising that
jurisdiction. 18 CFR part 152 specifies
the data required to be filed by pipeline
companies for an exemption.
Type of Respondents: Pipeline
companies.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information
collection as:
