Metering]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The hourly wage figure is $83.82/hour. This cost represents 
the average cost of four career fields: Legal ($129.12/hour), 
Accountants ($53.86/hour), Management Analyst ($60.53/hour), and 
Computer and Information ($91.76/hour); this cost also includes 
benefit costs within the hourly estimates. These figures were 
compiled using Bureau of Labor Statistics data that were specific to 
each occupational category: http://bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OMB Control No.: 1902-0271.
    Abstract: Section 1252(e)(3) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005,\5\ 
requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) 
to prepare and publish an annual report, by appropriate region, that 
assesses demand response resources, including those available from all 
consumer classes. Specifically, EPAct 2005 Section 1252(e)(3) requires 
that the Commission identify and review:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Public Law 109-58, 1252(e)(3), 119 Stat. 594, 966 (2005) 
(EPAct 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (A) Saturation and penetration rate of advanced meters and 
communications technologies, devices and systems;
    (B) existing demand response programs and time-based rate programs;
    (C) the annual resource contribution of demand resources;
    (D) the potential for demand response as a quantifiable, reliable 
resource for regional planning purposes;
    (E) steps taken to ensure that, in regional transmission planning 
and operations, demand resources are provided equitable treatment as a 
quantifiable, reliable resource relative to the resource obligations of 
any load-serving entity, transmission provider, or transmitting party; 
and

[[Page 91162]]

    (F) regulatory barriers to improved customer participation in 
demand response, peak reduction and critical period pricing programs.
    Type of Respondent: Persons interested in the above topics.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the annual 
public reporting burden for the information collection as:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                       Annual  number of                      Average  burden    Total annual  burden

(1)                                                                 (2)    (1) * (2) = (3)                (4)        (3) * (4) = (5)          (5) / (1)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3,400................................................                 1              3,400    260.75, $19,426   886,550, $66,047,975            $19,426
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The estimates for cost per response are derived using the 
2016 FERC average salary plus benefits of $154,647/year (or $74.50/
hour). Commission staff finds that the work done for this 
information collection is typically done by wage categories similar 
to those at FERC.
