Abstract: A consolidated supporting statement is being submitted for renewal of the FERC Form Nos. 1, 1-F, and 3-Q (electric and gas). The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) requests the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve FERC Form Nos. 1, 1-F, and 3-Q (electric and gas) for three years. FERC Form 1T, 1-FT, and 3-QT are temporary information collection nos. that are going to be rolled into the FERC Form 1, 1-F, and 3-Q (respectively) but were used to collect the changes related to moving the Forms 1, 1-F, and 3-Q to XBRL format in 2019. After the requirements and burden of the 1T, 1-FT, and 3-QT are incorporated into Form 1, 1-F, and 3Q and approved by OMB, the standalone OMB Control Nos. are anticipated to be retired because they would be duplicative. There are no changes to the reporting requirements for these existing information collections other than consolidating the hours and requirements for the temporary information collection nos. into the permanent forms as stated: 1) FERC Form No. 1 (Annual Report of Major Electric Utilities, Licensees and Others; OMB Control No. 1902-0021), including the requirements of the FERC Form 1-T (OMB Control No. 1902-0311) 2) FERC Form No. 1-F (Annual Report for Nonmajor Public Utilities and Licensees; OMB Control No. 1902-0029), including the requirements of the FERC Form 1-FT (OMB Control No. 1902-0312) 3) FERC Form No. 3-Q (Quarterly Financial Report of Electric Utilities, Licensees, and Natural Gas Companies; OMB Control No. 1902-0205), including the requirements of the FERC Form 3-QT (OMB Control No. 1902-0313)
