Based on the average number of actual filings received during the last two years, the FERC-598 information collection estimate increased by 45 responses and 270 total burden hours (annually) from the previous 3-year clearance period. The revised estimates are due to normal industry fluctuations in the average number of annual EWG and FUCO filings. The average annual burden per response and reporting requirements remain unchanged.
