Title: FERC–921, Ongoing Electronic
Delivery of Data from Regional
Transmission Organizations and
Independent System Operators.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0257.
Type of Request: Three-year extension

Abstract: The collection of data in the

Commission to detect potential anticompetitive or manipulative behavior or
ineffective market rules by requiring
Regional Transmission Organizations
(RTO) and Independent System
Operators (ISO) to electronically submit,
on a continuous basis, data relating to

intervening; and (4) otherwise comply
with the requirements of 18 CFR
385.2001 through 385.2005. All
comments, motions to intervene, or
protests must set forth their evidentiary
basis and otherwise comply with the
requirements of 18 CFR 4.34(b). All
comments, motions to intervene, or
protests should relate to project works
which are the subject of the license
surrender. Agencies may obtain copies
of the application directly from the
applicant. A copy of any protest or
motion to intervene must be served
upon each representative of the
applicant specified in the particular
application. If an intervener files
comments or documents with the
Commission relating to the merits of an
issue that may affect the responsibilities
of a particular resource agency, they
must also serve a copy of the document
on that resource agency. A copy of all
other filings in reference to this
application must be accompanied by
proof of service on all persons listed in
the service list prepared by the
Commission in this proceeding, in
accordance with 18 CFR 4.34(b) and
385.2010.

ACTION: Notice of information collection
and request for comments.
AGENCY:

In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) is soliciting
public comment on the currently
approved information collection FERC–
921 (Ongoing Electronic Delivery of
Data from Regional Transmission
Organizations and Independent System
Operators) and submitting the
information collection to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review. Any interested person may file

physical and virtual offers and bids,
market awards, resource outputs,
marginal cost estimates, shift factors,
financial transmission rights, internal
bilateral contracts, uplift, and
interchange pricing. Individual datasets
that the Commission is requesting may
be produced or retained by the market
monitoring units (MMUs). The
Commission directed each RTO and ISO
either to: (1) Request such data from its
MMU, so that the RTO or ISO can
deliver such data to the Commission; or
(2) request its MMU to deliver such data
directly to the Commission. All data for
this collection has (and is expected to
continue to) come from each RTO or
ISO and not the MMUs. Therefore, any
associated burden is counted as burden
on RTO and ISO.
Each RTO or ISO may make changes
to their individual markets with
Commission approval. Each RTO or ISO
may also change the data being sent to
the Commission to ensure compliance
with Order No. 760. Such changes
typically require respondents to alter
the ongoing delivery of data under
FERC–921. For this reason, the burden
estimate has been updated to reflect the
incremental burden associated with
such changes. The burden associated
with a changes varies considerably
based on the significance of the specific
change, therefore, the estimate reflects
the incremental burden for an average
change. Based on historical patterns of
change, staff estimates there to be about
one and a half changes per RTO or ISO
per year.
Public Comments on 60-day Notice
and FERC Response: The Commission
received comments from one
commenter who is also a subject
respondent, the New York Independent
System Operator, Inc. They wrote: ‘‘The
Commission should continue to require
the ongoing delivery of data in the same
manner that the data is currently
delivered, in accordance with FERC
Order No. 760 and FERC–921.’’ This
comment clearly supports the
Commission’s request to extend the
information collection without change.
Type of Respondents: Regional
transmission organizations and
independent system operators.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The
Commission estimates the average
annual burden and cost 2 for this
information collection as follows.
1 Burden is defined 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. Refer to 5
CFR 1320.3 for additional information.
2 Costs (for wages and benefits) are based on wage
figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for

Any person desiring to intervene or

and 214 of the Commission’s
Regulations (18 CFR 385.211 and

December 2017, issued March 20, 2018, at https://
www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm).
3 Each RTO/ISO electronically submits data daily.
To match with past filings, we are considering the
collection of daily responses to be a single response
per respondent each year.
4 The ongoing electronic delivery of data requires
a computer support specialist (code 15–1150), at an
hourly cost (wages plus benefits) of $47.30
(rounded).

5 Each RTO/ISO is estimated to make one and a
half changes yearly. To be consistent with the
formulation that the submissions over the course of
a year constitute a single response and for the
purpose of this calculation, we are assuming that
each response requires one and a half changes over
the course of the year and estimating burden
accordingly.
6 Changes to the delivered data require a database
administrator (code 15–1141), legal review (code
23–0000), and executive review (code 11–1000).
The hourly costs (wages plus benefits) are $65.07,

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.

Information Collections Being
Reviewed by the Federal
Communications Commission
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
the Commission) invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection.

SUMMARY:

$143.68, and $96.68, respectively. We weighted the
hourly cost figure to account for the fraction of time
for each skill set per response, and used an estimate
of 3⁄4, 1⁄8, and 1⁄8 respectively. We used the
following formula for the weighted hourly cost
figure: $65.07 (0.75) + $143.68 (0.125) + $96.68
(0.125) = $78.85 (rounded).
We estimate the total time required per change to
be 320 hours. Because a response encompasses one
year where there are, on average, 1.5 changes, the
total time per response is 480 hours (1.5 * 320
hours).
