This ICR is approved for 2 years to allow FERC to better address the issues raised in several of the comments it received on this notice. FERC was not able the address fully many of the comments as part of this ICR package. In addition, FERC should further evaluate the need and purpose of these information collection activities in the evolving competitive market. FERC should also consult with the affected parties. The package should not be eligible for an emergency extension of OMB approval at the end of the 2 years. The following information should be provided explicitly: FERC should discuss the merits, including practical utility and burden, of collecting information from only a portion of the industry on key elements of their production cost and consider the merits of publicly disclosing this information in an evolving competitive market. In addition, FERC should provide justification for why it believes the Commission's ability to ensure just and reasonable rates would be impaired by confidential treatment of Form 423. Finally, FERC should specifically address commenters concerns that public disclosure harms the competitive position of the reporting parties and adversely affects the competitiveness of the market.
