SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: FERC-598, Self-Certification for Entities Seeking Exempt 
Wholesale Generator Status or Foreign Utility Company Status.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0166.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-598 information 
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting 
requirements.
    Abstract: The Commission uses the data in the FERC-598 information 
collection to implement the statutory provisions of Title XII, subtitle 
F of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public Law 109-58, 119 Stat. 594, 
972 et seq. (2005) (codified at 42 U.S.C. 16451 et seq.).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPAct 2005 repealed the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 
(PUHCA 1935),\2\ and adopted in its place the Public Utility Holding 
Company Act of 2005 (PUHCA 2005).\3\ While providing for the 
Commission's regulation of holding companies, PUHCA 2005 also provided 
an exemption from such regulation for those holding companies that are 
subject to Commission regulation as holding companies solely due to 
their holding exempt wholesale generators (EWG) and foreign utility 
companies (FUCO).\4\ To carry out this statutory directive, the 
Commission amended its regulations (in Order No. 667 \5\) to, among 
other things, add procedures for not only defining what entities would 
qualify as EWGs and FUCOs, but also the self-certification by entities 
seeking EWG and FUCO status, coupled with the self-certification of the 
exemption of their holding companies, in turn, from Commission 
regulation.\6\ This self-certification for EWGs and FUCOs is similar to 
the process available to entities that seek qualifying facility 
status.\7\

    \6\ 18 CFR 366.1, 366.3(a), 366.4, 366.7.
    \7\ 18 CFR 292.207.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    An EWG is defined as ``any person engaged directly, or indirectly 
through one or more affiliates . . . and exclusively in the business of 
owning or operating, or both owning and operating, all or part of one 
or more eligible facilities and selling electric energy at wholesale.'' 
\8\ A FUCO is defined as ``any company that owns or operates facilities 
that are not located in any state and that are used for the generation, 
transmission, or distribution of electric energy for sale or the 
distribution at retail of natural or manufactured gas for heat, light, 
or power, if such company: (1) Derives no part of its income, directly 
or indirectly, from the generation, transmission, or distribution of 
electric energy for sale or the distribution at retail of natural or 
manufactured gas for heat, light, or power, within the United States; 
and (2) [n]either the company nor any of its subsidiary companies is a 
public-utility company operating in the United States.'' \9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 18 CFR 366.1.
    \9\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    An EWG, FUCO, or its representative seeking to self-certify its 
status as an EWG or FUCO must file with the Commission a notice of 
self-certification (FERC-598) demonstrating that it satisfies the 
definition of EWG or FUCO. In the case of EWGs, the person filing a 
notice of self-certification must also file a copy of the notice of 
self-certification with the state regulatory authority of the state in 
which the facility is located and that person must also represent to 
the Commission in its submission that it has filed a copy of the notice 
with the appropriate state regulatory authority.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 18 CFR 366.7.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Submission of the information collected by FERC-598 is necessary 
for the Commission to carry out its responsibilities under section 
1266(a) of EPAct 2005.\11\ The Commission implements its 
responsibilities through the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 
18, Part 366. These filing requirements are mandatory for entities 
seeking to self-certify their EWG or FUCO status, in order to, in turn, 
exempt their holding companies from Commission regulation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 42 U.S.C. 16454(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Type of Respondents: EWGs and FUCOs.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \12\ The Commission estimates the total 
annual burden and cost \13\ for this information collection as follows.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ ``Burden'' is 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 Title 5 Code of Federal Regulations 
1320.3.
    \13\ Subject matter experts found that industry employment costs 
(for salary plus benefits) for the FERC-598 information collection 
closely resemble the Commission's. FERC's 2017 average annual salary 
plus benefits per FTE (full-time equivalent) is $158,754 (or $76.50 
per hour).

                                                                        FERC-598

information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Commission, including whether the information will have practical 
utility;
