SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: FERC-523, Application for Authorization for the Issuance of Securities or the Assumption of Liabilities. OMB Control No.: 1902-0043. Type of Request: Three-year approval of the FERC-523 information collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting requirements. Abstract: The information collected by FERC-523 is required to implement the statutory provisions of section 204 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824c). Under section 204 of the FPA no public utility or licensee shall issue any security, or assume any obligation or liability as guarantor, endorser, surety, or otherwise in respect of any security of another person, until the public utility applies for and receives Commission approval by order authorizing the issue or assumption of the liability. The Commission issues an order if it finds that such issue or assumption (a) is for lawful object, within the corporate purposes of the applicant and compatible with the public interest, which is necessary or appropriate for or consistent with the proper performance by the applicant as a public utility, and which will not impair its ability to perform that service, and (b) is reasonably necessary or appropriate for such purposes. The Commission uses the information contained in filings to determine its acceptance and/or rejection of applications for authorization to either issue securities or to assume an obligation or liability by the public utilities and their licensees who submit these applications. The specific application requirements and filing format are found at 18 CFR Part 34; and 18 CFR 131.43 and 131.50. This information is filed electronically. Type of Respondents: Public utilities subject to the Federal Power Act. Estimate of Annual Burden: \1\ The Commission estimates the reduction in the annual public reporting burden for the FERC-523, as follows: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ Burden is defined 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, refer to 5 Code of Federal Regulations 1320.3.

Based upon FERC's 2017 annual average of $158,754 (for salary plus benefits), the average hourly cost is $76.50/hour. Dated: April 26, 2017. Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary.
