SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This section contains the following information about the energy information collection submitted to OMB for review: (1) The collection numbers and title; (2) the sponsor ( i.e., the Department of Energy component); (3) the current OMB docket number (if applicable); (4) the type of request ( i.e., new, revision, extension, or reinstatement); (5) response obligation (i.e., mandatory, voluntary, or required to obtain or retain benefits); (6) a description of the need for and proposed use of the information; (7) a categorical description of the likely respondents; and (8) an estimate of the total annual reporting burden ( i.e., the estimated number of likely respondents times the proposed frequency of response per year times the average hours per response).
1. Form OE-417, "Electric Emergency Incident and Disturbance Report".
2. Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability/OE.
3. OMB Number 1901-0288.
4. Revision and three-year approval requested.
5. Mandatory.
6. Form OE-417 collects information on electric emergency incidents and disturbances for DOE's use in fulfilling its overall national security and other energy management responsibilities. The information will also be used by DOE for analytical purposes. All electric utilities, including those that operate Control Area Operator functions and Reliability Authority functions, will be required to supply information when an incident or disturbance meets a reporting threshold.
Since the pre-survey consultation notice was published, the program will request respondents to report outages that affect 50,000 customers or more. This was a revision based on public comments that claimed a reduction to report outages that affect 25,000 customers or more would be too burdensome.
7. Business or other for-profit; State, local or tribal government.
8. 4,322 hours.
Statutory Authority:
Section 3507(h)(1) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. ).
Issued in Washington, DC, June 21, 2005.
