Commission Information Collection
Activities (FERC–725U); Comment
Request; Extension
Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of information collection
and request for comments.
AGENCY:
In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) is soliciting
public comment on the currently
approved information collection, FERC–
725U, Mandatory Reliability Standards:
Mandatory Reliability Standard CIP–
014.
DATES: Comments on the collection of
information are due October 31, 2017.
SUMMARY:
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–725U information
collection requirements with no changes
to the current reporting requirements.
Abstract: Reliability Standard CIP–
014–2 1 requires applicable transmission
owners and transmission operators to
identify and protect transmission
stations and transmission substations,
and their associated primary control
centers that if rendered inoperable or
damaged as a result of a physical attack
could result in instability, uncontrolled
separation, or cascading within an
Interconnection.
Transmission owners and
transmission operators must keep data
or evidence to show compliance with
the standard for three years unless
directed by its Compliance Enforcement
Authority. If a responsible entity is
found non-compliant, it must keep
information related to the noncompliance until mitigation is complete
and approved, or for the three years,
whichever is longer.
Type of Respondents: Transmission
owners (TO) and transmission operators
(TOP).
Estimate of Annual Burden: 2 The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information
collection as:

Comments: Comments are invited on:
(1) Whether the collection of
information is 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 estimate
of the burden and cost of the collection
of information, including the validity of
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
3 The
estimates for cost per response are derived
using the following formula: Average Burden Hours
per Response times XX per Hour = Average Cost per
Response.
The hourly cost figures are based on data for
wages plus benefits from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (as of 11/9/2016) at https://www.bls.gov/
oes/current/naics2_22.htm and http://www.bls.gov/
news.release/ecec.nr0.htm. The figures are rounded
for the purposes of calculations in this table and
are:
1. For electrical engineers, $64.29/hr., rounded to
$64/hr.
2. for attorneys, $129.12/hr., rounded to $129/hr.
3. for administrative staff, $37.75/hr., rounded to
$38/hr.
The record retention cost is based on the
administrative staff category; R3 is based on the
attorney category; Requirements R1, R4, R5 and R6
are based on the electrical engineer category; and
R2 is a mix of the electrical engineer and related
engineering review process (30 hrs. at $64/hr.) and
attorney (4 hrs. at $129/hr.) categories. The
resulting average hourly figure is $71.65, rounded
to $72/hr.
