Terms of Clearance: This information collection request is approved for three years. OIRA commends FERC on its efforts to reduce burden by eliminating unnecessary schedules and encourages the Agency to continue to evaluate its data needs. OIRA also encourages FERC to continue to re-assess its need to make reported information publicly available. Specifically, FERC should weigh the regulatory oversight benefits it gains from making the information public against the potential harm the information release may cause companies operating in a competitive environment. FERC should consider what changes in the confidentiality of business information are appropriate to promote competition within the increasingly competitive market. When FERC resubmits this information collection request for renewal, it should provide a discussion describing its evaluation of the need for confidential treatment of data.
