PUBLISHED IC13-21 (FERC-574) 60 dy notice

49491

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 14, 2013 / Notices
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–511 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission uses the
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–511 to
implement the statutory provisions of
Sections 4(e) and 8 of the Federal Power
Act (FPA).1 Section 4(e) authorizes the
Commission to issue licenses for the
construction, operation and
maintenance of reservoirs,
powerhouses, and transmission lines or
other facilities necessary for the
development and improvement of
navigation and for the development,
transmission, and utilization of power.2

Section 8 of the FPA provides that the
voluntary transfer of any license is made
only with the written approval of the
Commission. Any successor to the
licensee may assign the rights of the
original licensee but is subject to all of
the conditions of the license. The
information filed with the Commission
is a mandatory requirement contained
in the format of a written application for
transfer of license, executed jointly by
the parties of the proposed transfer. The
sale or merger of a licensed
hydroelectric project may occasion the
transfer of a license. The Commission’s
staff uses the information collection to
determine the qualifications of the

proposed transferee to hold the license
and to prepare the transfer of the license
order. Approval by the Commission of
transfer of a license is contingent upon
the transfer of title to the properties
under license, delivery of all license
instruments, and evidence that such
transfer is in the public interest. The
Commission implements these filing
requirements in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR part 9.
Type of Respondents: Hydropower
Project Licensees.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 The
Commission estimates the total Public
Reporting Burden for this information
collection as:

Comments: Comments are invited on:
(1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden and cost of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information collection;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
