Abstract: Section 206 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 824e, obligates the Commission to remedy unjust, unreasonable, and unduly discriminatory or preferential rates, terms, and conditions of transmission service. The FERC 516 collection contains the information collection requirements for developing, submitting, and reporting tariff information to the Commission. In this non-substantive revision of this collection, the Commission is consolidating the burden related to an approved temporary information collection (FERC 516G) into the FERC 516, which is the collection that should contain the burden related to the reporting activities. No changes are being made to the reporting or collection itself, this is simply an administrative procedure that will allow the Commission to discontinue the use of a temporary information collection number.
