Abstract: The Commission requires
the FERC–587 information collection to
satisfy the requirements of section 24 of
the Federal Power Act (FPA). The
Federal Power Act grants the
Commission authority to issue licenses
for the development and improvement
of navigation and for the development,
transmission, and utilization of power
across, along, from or in any of the
steams or other bodies of water over
which Congress has jurisdiction.1 The
Electric Consumers Protection Act
(ECPA) amends the FPA to allow the
Commission the responsibility of
issuing licenses for nonfederal
hydroelectric plants.2
Section 24 of the FPA requires that
applicants proposing hydropower
projects on (or changes to existing
projects located within) lands owned by
the United States to provide a
description of the applicable U.S. land.
Additionally, the FPA requires the
notification of the Commission and
Secretary of the Interior of the
hydropower proposal. FERC–587
consolidates the information required
and identifies hydropower project
boundary maps associated with the
applicable U.S. land.
The information consolidated by the
Form No. 587 verifies the accuracy of
the information provided for the FERC–
587 to the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) and the Department of the
Interior (DOI). Moreover, this
information ensures that U.S. lands can
be reserved as hydropower sites and
withdrawn from other uses.
The Commission is also making the
following changes to the FERC Form No.
587 instructions. FERC is not changing
the reporting requirements of the
information collection:
Paragraph 3
—Revise Paragraph 3 3 as follows:
1 16

U.S.C. Section 797d (2010).
Law 99–495, 100 Stat. 1243 (1996).
3 Any references to ‘‘microfilm’’ and ‘‘aperture
cards’’ within 18 CFR part 4.39 were removed by
the Final Rule in RM14–20–000 (issued 7/17/2014,
published in the Federal Register at 79 FR 42973
on 7/24/2014).
