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 change to the FERC-516 information collection to rollover the burden from a related information collection, the FERC-732. The FERC-732 has been an approved as information collection number since OMB approved the collection on January 24, 2007. Upon Commission staff review, the Commission has determined that the FERC-732: Electric Rate Schedules and Tariffs: Long-Term Firm Transmission Rights in Organized Electricity Markets belongs under the FERC-516 that encapsulates electric tariff filings. Upon OMB approval of this non-substantive update, the Commission plans to discontinue the FERC-732 collection.

Short Statement: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is submitting a non-substantive change to the FERC-516 information collection to rollover the burden from a related information collection, the FERC-732. The FERC-732 has been an approved as information collection number since OMB approved the collection on January 24, 2007. Upon Commission staff review, the Commission has determined that the FERC-732: Electric Rate Schedules and Tariffs: Long-Term Firm Transmission Rights in Organized Electricity Markets belongs under the FERC-516 that encapsulates electric tariff filings. The FERC-732 contains the total burden of 1 response and 1,180 hours which represents a placeholder burden for Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs), Independent Service Operators (ISOs), independent transmission providers, or other independent transmission organizations to make available long-term firm transmission rights to load-serving entities (LSEs). The requirement has been met by the current jurisdictional entities, but the Commission requires all transmission organizations that are approved after January 29, 2007 to be in compliant with the requirements in 18 CFR 42.
