SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–914, Cogeneration and
Small Power Production—Tariff Filings.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0231.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–914 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: Section 205(c) of the Federal
Power Act (FPA) and 18 CFR 292
require that every public utility have all
of its jurisdictional rates and tariffs on
file with the Commission and make
them available for public inspection,
within such time and in such form as
the Commission may designate. Section
205(d) of the FPA requires that every
public utility must provide notice to the
Commission and the public of any
changes to its jurisdictional rates and
tariffs, file such changes with the
Commission, and make them available
for public inspection, in such manner as
directed by the Commission. In
addition, FPA section 206 requires the
Commission, upon complaint or its own
motion, to modify existing rates or
services that are found to be unjust,
unreasonable, unduly discriminatory or
preferential. FPA section 207 requires
the Commission upon complaint by a
state commission and a finding of
insufficient interstate service, to order
the rendering of adequate interstate
service by public utilities, the rates for
which would be filed in accordance
with FPA sections 205 and 206.
In Order Nos. 671 and 671–A,1 the
Commission revised its regulations that
govern qualifying small power
production and cogeneration facilities.
Among other things, the Commission

31059

eliminated certain exemptions from rate
regulation that were previously
available to qualifying facilities (QFs).
New qualifying facilities may need to
make tariff filings if they do not meet
the exemption requirements.
FERC implemented the Congressional
mandate of the Energy Policy Act of
2005 (EPAct 2005) to establish criteria
for new qualifying cogeneration
facilities by: (1) Amending the
exemptions available to qualifying
facilities from the FPA and from Public
Utility Holding Company Act (PUHCA)
[resulting in the burden imposed by
FERC–914, the subject of this notice]; (2)
ensuring that these facilities are using
their thermal output in a productive and
beneficial manner; that the electrical,
thermal, chemical and mechanical
output of new qualifying cogeneration
facilities is used fundamentally for
commercial, residential or industrial
purposes; and there is continuing
progress in the development of efficient
electric energy generating technology;
(3) amending the FERC Form 556 2 to
reflect the criteria for new qualifying
cogeneration facilities; and (4)
eliminating ownership limitations for
qualifying cogeneration and small
power production facilities. The
Commission satisfied the statutory
mandate and its continuing obligation to
review its policies encouraging
cogeneration and small power
production, energy conservation,
efficient use of facilities and resources
by electric utilities, and equitable rates
for energy customers.
Type of Respondents: New qualifying
facilities and small power producers
that do not meet Commission exemption
criteria
Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden and cost 4 for the
information collection as:
