SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-725J, Definition of the Bulk Electric System.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0259.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-725J information 
collection requirements with no changes to the reporting requirements.
    Abstract: On December 20, 2012, the Commission issued Order No. 
773, a Final Rule approving NERC's modifications to the definition of 
``bulk electric system'' and the Rules of Procedure exception process 
to be effective July 1, 2013. On April 18, 2013, in Order No. 773-A, 
the Commission largely affirmed its findings in Order No. 773. In Order 
Nos. 773 and 773-A, the Commission directed NERC to modify the 
definition of bulk electric system in two respects: (1) Modify the 
local network exclusion (exclusion E3) to remove the 100 kV minimum 
operating voltage to allow systems that include one or more looped 
configurations connected below 100 kV to be eligible for the local 
network exclusion; and (2) modify the exclusions to ensure that 
generator interconnection facilities at or above 100 kV connected to 
bulk electric system generators identified in inclusion I2 are not 
excluded from the bulk electric system.
    Type of Respondents: Generator owners, distribution providers, 
other NERC-registered entities.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \1\ The Commission estimates the annual 
public reporting burden \2\ for the information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Commission defines burden as the total time, effort, or 
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, 
retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal 
agency. For further explanation of what is included in the 
information collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal 
Regulations 1320.3.
    \2\ The FERC-725J information collection no longer includes 
reporting burden for ``System Review and List Creation'' and 
``Regional and ERO Handling of Exception Requests''. These two 
response categories were part of the reporting burden in Years 1 and 
2 of the FERC-725J implementation and have been completed.
    \3\ The hourly cost figure (wages plus benefits) comes from the 
Bureau of Labor Statistics (http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm). The figure is for an electric engineer ($62.38, 
Occupational Code: 17-2071), file clerk ($30.53, Occupational Code: 
43-4071), and a lawyer (129.12, Occupational Code: 23-0000); the 
calculation is as follows: 60 hours of burden * $62.38 = $3,743; 32 
hours * $30.53 = $977; 2 hours * $129.12 = $258. $3,743 + $977 + 
$258 = $4,978.
    \4\ The hourly cost figure of $62.38 (wages plus benefits) comes 
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm). The figure is for an electric engineer (Occupational 
Code: 17-2071).
    \5\ The hourly cost figure (wages plus benefits) comes from the 
Bureau of Labor Statistics (http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm). The figure is a weighted average comprised of hourly 
figures for an electric engineer ($62.38, Occupational Code: 17-
2071), file clerk ($30.53, Occupational Code: 43-4071), and a lawyer 
(129.12, Occupational Code: 23-0000); the calculation is as follows: 
60 hours of burden * $62.38 = $3,743; 8 hours * $30.53 = $244; 24 
hours * $129.12 = $3,099. $3,743 + $244 + $3,099 = $7,086.

                                                                        FERC-725J
