The energy information collection submitted to OMB for review
contains:
1. Collection of Information: FERC-511 ``Application for Transfer
of License.''
2. Sponsor: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
3. Control No.: OMB No. 1902-0069. The Commission is now requesting
that OMB approve a three-year extension of the current expiration date,
with no changes to the existing collection. There is no change to the
reporting burden. These are mandatory collection requirements.
4. Necessity of Collection of Information: Submission of the

responsibilities in implementing the provisions of the Federal Power
Act (FPA). The information reported under Commission identifier FERC-

of the FPA authorizes the Commission to issue licenses for
construction, operation and maintenance of dams, water conduits,

reservoirs, and transmission lines or other facilities necessary for
the development, transmission and utilization of power from bodies of
water Congress has jurisdiction over. Section 8 of the FPA provides
that the voluntary transfer of any license can only be made with the
written approval of the Commission. Any successor to the licensee may
assign the rights of the original licensee, but is subject to all of
the conditions of the license. The information is collected in the form
of a written application for transfer of a license, executed jointly by
the parties to the proposed transfer. It is used by the Commission
staff to determine the qualifications of the proposed transferee to
hold the license, and to prepare the transfer of the license order.
Respondent Description: The respondent universe currently comprises on
average, 23 applicants for transfer of a hydro electric license.
6. Estimated Burden: 920 total burden hours, 23 respondents, 1
response annually, 40 hours per response (average).

(FPA), 16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.
