Terms of Clearance: Before receiving its next approval, FERC must comply with the existing terms of clearance: "This ICR is approved for three years. When FERC resubmits this, ICR for renewal, it must evaluate, after consulting with, respondents, the burden estimates for reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Specifically, FERC should consider the non-labor, costs associated with record retention. FERC must list the names, affiliations, and phone numbers of the respondents it contacted. Although FERC projects a reduction in burden hours and costs due to reduced record retention requirements in its supporting statement, burden hours were not adjusted due to the lack of information on the ratio of staffing hours to records' storage. Should FERC obtain such information, and if such information is consistent with the projections made available for public comment through this supporting statement, FERC may submit a correction worksheet to OMB to adjust the burden hours associated with this ICR." Additionally, FERC should consider adding form-604, if approved, to this OMB number rather than creating a new collection. Finally, FERC must explain the reduction in electronic collection from 30% to 0% in the supporting statement to the next request for OMB approval.
