Abstract: On 8/8/2005, the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) 1 was
signed into law. Section 1253(a) of
EPAct 2005 amends Section 210 of the
Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of
1978 (PURPA) by adding subsection
‘‘(m),’’ that provides, based on a
specified showing, for the termination
and subsequent reinstatement of an
electric utility’s obligation to purchase
from, and sell energy and capacity to,
qualifying facilities (QFs). In 2019, the
Commission revised its regulations in
18 CFR 292.309–292.313 in Docket No.
RM19–15–000 to account for industry
changes. These industry changes
include: the decrease in reliance on oil
and natural gas, the increase of natural
gas supply due to access of shale
reserves, and the decreasing costs of
renewable energy sources. Due to the
modifications in the rulemaking, the
Commission revised its information
collection requirements. The
Commission now collects the following
information on FERC Form 912:
• § 292.310: an electric utility’s
application for the termination of its
obligation to purchase energy from a
QF,
• § 292.311: an affected entity or
person’s application to the Commission
for an order reinstating the electric
utility’s obligation to purchase energy
from a QF,
• § 292.312: an electric utility’s
application for the termination of its
obligation to sell energy and capacity to
QFs, and
• § 292.313: an affected entity or
person’s application to the Commission
for an order reinstating the electric
utility’s obligation to sell energy and
capacity to QFs.2
Type of Respondents: Electric
utilities.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 3
The Commission estimates the total
Public Reporting Burden and cost for
this information collection as follows:
1 Public

Law 109–58, 119 Stat. 594 (2005).
CFR 292.311 and 292.313.
3 Burden 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 Title 5 Code of Federal Regulations
1320.3.

SUMMARY:

4 The estimates for cost per response are derived
using the following formula: Average Burden Hours
per Response * $87.00 per Hour = Average Cost per
Response. The hourly cost figure comes from the
FERC average salary ($180,702/year). Commission
staff believes the 2021 FERC average salary to be a
representative wage for industry respondents.

Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Primary Magnesium
Refining (40 CFR part 63, subpart
TTTTT) were proposed on January 22,
2003; promulgated on October 10, 2003;
and amended on April 20, 2006. These
regulations apply to existing and new
facilities that perform primary
magnesium refining where the total
hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) emitted
are greater than, or equal to, 10 tons per
year for each HAP, or where the total
HAPs emitted are greater than, or equal
to, 25 tons per year of any combination
of HAPs. New facilities include those
that commenced either construction or
reconstruction after the date of proposal.
This information is being collected to
assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63,
subpart TTTTT. In general, all NESHAP
standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports
by the owners/operators of the affected
facilities. They are also required to
maintain records of the occurrence and
duration of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction in the operation of an
affected facility, or any period during
which the monitoring system is
inoperative. These notifications, reports,
and records are essential in determining
