Short Statement: There are program changes to increase the accuracy of this information collection request. As previously approved, FERC-716 included a single collection activity for good-faith requests, thus erroneously omitting the possibility of a Commission order. That single activity has been removed, resulting in a decrease of 12 responses and 615 hours. This request includes burden estimates for two activities: (1) Information exchange between parties, and (2) Application submitted to FERC if parties’ negotiations are unsuccessful. This program change increases the accuracy of the disclosure of burdens. The total burdens that were previously approved for one activity (i.e., 12 responses and 615 hours) are now divided between the two activities presented in this request, in proportion to the separate burdens for each activity: 6 responses for each activity; 600 hours and 15 hours annually for the information exchange and application activity, respectively. As a result, there is no net change in the total burdens for FERC-716.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $112,289
