The FERC-598 information collection burden estimate increased by two responses and 12 burden hours (annually) from the previous clearance period. The revised estimate is due to a slight flux in the number of entities that are predicted to self-certify as an EWG or FUCO. The average annual hourly burden per response remains unchanged.
