Section 10(e) of the Federal Power Act authorizes the Commission to collect annual charges from hydropower licensees for, among other things, the cost of administering Part I of the FPA and for use of administering the costs of United States dams. Part 11 of the Commission's regulations provides the manner in which licensees are charged for such costs. Prior to the adoption of the current regulations in 1958 and 1963, administrative charges were not based on the actual costs of the government, but were in the nature of set fees that were billed for the calendar year. In addition, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 authorizes the Commission to "assess and collect fees and annual charges in any fiscal year in amounts equal to all of the costs incurred by the Commission in that fiscal year."

Note that neither the reporting requirements nor the hours per response (2 hrs.) have changed. The increase in the number of respondents and responses (to 520 from 517) is due to normal fluctuations in the industry. (For example, some projects may have had FERC-approved increases to their authorized capacity to exceed 1.5 MW, triggering their requirement to file the FERC-583 data (per 18CFR11.1). Other entities may have changed ownership, with each project now filing its own data, rather than a company filing for all of its projects. Fluctuations like this are normal over the years.)
