Table of Existing Burden covered in FERC-516

ICR 201206-1902-003 on FERC-920 (NOPR in Docket RM12-3 on the ‘EQR System Refresh’)

Burden included in FERC-516 for current EQR filers, data, and system, pre-rules. Until OMB’s PRA approval of the final rules and FERC-920, the existing burden for the current filers is included in FERC-516. After completion of those steps (possibly including a future final rule in RM12-3 if/when FERC issues one), we anticipate removing burden from the FERC-516 (to eliminate double counting). The EQR would become a stand-alone requirement called FERC-920.
