The Commission collects information on the FERC-582 for distinct purposes: • To calculate annual charges; • To provide interpretations by the Office of General Counsel, and • To aid decisions on petitions for declaratory orders, waivers, and exemptions. In order to determine annual charges, the Commission staff use the data submitted under FERC-582 to establish the total MWhs of transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce. All parties involved in the generation and sale of electric energy rely on the transmission system to move their product (i.e. transmitted energy). Power sellers contribute to the Commission's recovery of electric regulatory program costs in that they will use the transmission system and any cost-based rates that these entities pay for their transmission service that they may take will be incurred as a share of the Commission's costs. As noted above, Congress has directed the Commission to collect fees and annual charges equal to its annual appropriation. The Commission deposits the fees and annual charges it collects into the Department of Treasury's general fund. The Commission's electric regulatory program includes: • administering the provisions of Parts II and III of the Federal Power Act (FPA) as they apply to the activities of public utilities (e.g. principally investor-owned utilities) ; • discharging its responsibilities under various statutes involving Power Marketing Agencies (PMAs); and • implementing various provisions of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) involving qualifying cogenerators and small power producers (QFs).

Miscellaneous Actions
The change in burden due to the Final Rule in docket RM14-11-000 results from providing Open Access and Establishing Priority Rights to ICIF through FPA Sections 210 and 211. This process and the safe harbor provision result in the reduction in burden associated with avoided petitions for declaratory order which have been used by ICIF owners to secure priority rights to ICIF capacity for future phased generation development. The Commission believes that the approved regulations will reduce the need for eligible ICIF owners to file petitions for declaratory order to pre-emptively seek priority rights.
