1253(a) of EPAct 2005 amended Section
210 of the Public Utility Regulatory
Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) by adding
subsection ‘‘(m),’’ which 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:
2 18 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 5 CFR 1320.3.

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
[Docket No. OP–1880]

Proposed Third-Party Risk
Management Guide for Traditional
Community Banking Organizations
AGENCY: The Board of Governors of the

Federal Reserve System (Board).
4 The estimates for cost per response are derived
using the following formula: Average Burden Hours
per Response * $102.00 per Hour = Average Cost
per Response. The hourly cost figure comes from
the FERC average salary ($213,003/year).
Commission staff believes the 2026 FERC average
salary to be a representative wage for industry
respondents.

proposed guide would discuss the key
risks faced by traditional community
banking organizations in their thirdparty relationships in general and in

traditional community banking
organizations.
