SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–714, Annual Electric
Balancing Authority Area and Planning
Area Report.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0140.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–714 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
FERC–714 data to analyze power system
operations. These analyses estimate the
effect of changes in power system
operations resulting from the
installation of a new generating unit or
plant, transmission facilities, energy
transfers between systems, and/or new
points of interconnections. The FERC–
714 data assists in providing a broad
picture of interconnected balancing
authority area operations including
comprehensive information of balancing
authority area generation, actual and
scheduled inter-balancing authority area
power transfers, and net energy for load,
summer and winter generation peaks
and system lambda. The Commission
also uses the data to prepare status
reports on the electric utility industry
including a review of inter-balancing
authority area bulk power trade
information. The Commission uses the
collected data from planning areas to
monitor forecasted demands by electric
utilities with fundamental demand
responsibilities and to develop hourly
demand characteristics.
Type of Respondent: Electric utility
balancing authorities and planning areas
in the United States.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden and cost 2 (rounded)
1 Burden is defined 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, refer to 5 CFR 1320.3.
2 The hourly cost (for salary plus benefits) uses
the figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, May
2017, for the listed reporting requirements. These
figures include salary (https://www.bls.gov/oes/
current/naics2_22.htm) and benefits http://
www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm) and are:
Management (Code 11–0000), $94.28/hr.
