OMB has approved
this form for one year, through November, 1992. In 1988, when FERC
made revisions to this form, the Department of Commerc (DOC)
requested that FERC add a few data elements to the ICR to be use by
DOC in computing certain GNP figures. FERC responded in its final
rulemaking that since the information was not necessary for its
purposes, and it did not know how large a burden it would impose on
th public, that it was not going to make the changes. Before FERC
resubmits this ICR for approval, FERC should discuss with DOC their
ne for the additional data, and the two agencies should determine
whether r not it is appropriate to add these data elements to the
ICR. If the agencies cannot agree, then FERC should notify OMB as
soon as possible When this ICR is resubmitted, OMB will meet with
FERC and DOC official to review both the utility of and the burden
imposed by the data.
