FERC520 consists of three information collection activities. A full application, in accordance with 18
CFR 45.8, provides detailed information about the positions for which authorization is sought, including a description of duties. Submission of a more streamlined informational report, in accordance with 18 CFR
45.9, is a condition for an automatic grant of authorization to hold interlocking directorates. This automatic authorization is available only to certain types of officers and directors. Finally, a notice of change, in accordance with 18 CFR 45.5, is required within 60
days after an officer or director resigns or withdraws from Commissionauthorized interlocked positions or if the applicant is not re-elected or reappointed to the interlocked position.
However, no notice of change is required if the only change is: 1 A
resignation or withdrawal from fewer than all position held between or among affiliated public utilities; 2 a reelection or reappointment to a position that was previously authorized; or 3 holding a different or additional interlocking position that would qualify for automatic authorization under 18 CFR
45.9.
Types of Respondents: Officers and directors of public utilities seeking authorization to hold interlocking directorates.
Estimate of Annual Burden: For full applications, 16 responses annually, and per-response burdens of 50 hours and $69,600. For informational reports, 500 responses annually, and perresponse burdens of 8 hours and $348,000. For notices of change, 100
responses annually, and per-response burdens of 0.25 of an hour and $2,175.
The total estimated burdens per year are 616 responses, 4,825 hours and $419,775. These burdens are itemized in the following table:
