Short Statement: The Supplemental NOPR is intended to improve the Commission’s implementation of FPA section 219 by more appropriately balancing encouraging transmission owners to join Transmission Organizations with ratepayer considerations. This Supplemental NOPR would revise the Commission’s regulations and policy with respect to the mechanics and implementation of the Commission’s transmission incentives policy. Respondents will be required to complete a one-time eTariff Filing in Year 1. For administrative purposes, we are averaging the one-time burden in Year 1 over a three-year period. The estimates in the table above match the estimates in the Supplemental NOPR. These estimates are not annualized. The annual average for years 1-3 will be (rounded) to the following: • 63.33 responses per year (190 responses/3 years) • 5,067 hours per year (15,200 hours/3 years) FERC-516 proposes changes to the Commission’s transmission incentives policy would both help to reflect recent changes in the industry and transmission planning and more closely align with the statutory language of FPA section 219.
