SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–515
‘‘Hydropower Licensing: Declaration of
Intention’’ (OMB No. 1902–0079) is
used by the Commission to implement
the statutory provisions of Part I,
Sections 23(b) of the Federal Power Act
16 U.S.C. 817. Section 23(b) authorized
the Commission to make a
determination as to whether it has
jurisdiction over a proposed
hydroelectric project. Section 23(b) also
requires that any person intending to
construct project works on a navigable
commerce clause water must file a
declaration of their intention with the
Commission. If the Commission finds
the proposed project will have an
impact on ‘‘interstate or foreign
commerce’’, then the person intending
to construct the project must obtain a
Commission license or exemption
before starting construction. Such sites
are generally on streams defined as U.S.
navigation waters, and over which the
Commission has jurisdiction under its
authority to regulate foreign and
interstate commerce. The information is
collected in the form of a written
application, declaring the applicant’s
intent and used by Commission staff to
research the jurisdictional aspects of the
project. This research includes
examining maps and land ownership
records to establish whether or not there
is Federal jurisdiction over the lands
and waters affected by the project. A
finding of non-jurisdictional by the
Commission eliminates a substantial
paperwork burden for the applicant who
might otherwise have to file for a license
or exemption application. The
Commission implements these filing
requirements in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR part 24.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
expiration date, with no changes to the
existing collection of data.
Burden Statement: Public reporting
burden for this collection is estimated
