Section 1253 of the Energy Policy Act
of 2005 (EPAct 2005) modified Section 210 of the Public Utility
Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA). The Commission implemented
the Congressional mandate of the EPAct 2005 by, inter alia,
establishing criteria for new qualifying cogeneration facilities
by: • 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 industrial,
commercial, residential or industrial purposes; and there is
continuing progress in the development of efficient electric energy
generating technology; • amending the FERC Form No. 556 (OMB
Control No. 1902-0075) to reflect the criteria for new qualifying
cogeneration facilities; and • 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. In the FERC-914 collection, those qualifying
cogeneration and small power production facilities, required to do
so, will submit to FERC: • FPA Section 205 and/or 206 filings, •
Change of status notifications. Section 205 filings refer to
Section 205(c) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), which requires 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. In
addition, FPA section 206 allows the Commission, upon complaint or
its own motion, to modify existing rates or services that the
Commission finds to be unjust, unreasonable, unduly discriminatory
or preferential.

There are no program changes,
and the requirements within FERC-914 have not changed. The
adjustments are due to: (1) normal business fluctuations in energy
markets, and (2) corrections of the burden estimates in the
previous information collection request. The changes are further
described in the attached supporting statement.
