           TITLE 18--CONSERVATION OF POWER AND WATER RESOURCES
 
  CHAPTER I--FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION, DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 
PART 11_ANNUAL CHARGES UNDER PART I OF THE FEDERAL POWER ACT--Table of Contents
 
                Subpart B_Charges for Headwater Benefits
 
Sec. 11.16  Filing requirements.

    (a) Applicability. (1) Any party subject to a headwater benefits 
determination under this subpart must supply project-specific data, in 
accordance with this section, by February 1 of each year for data from 
the preceding calendar year.
    (2) Within 30 days of notice of initiation of an investigation under 
Sec. 11.15, a party must supply project-specific data, in accordance 
with this section, for the years specified in the notice.
    (b) Data required from owner of the headwater project. The owner of 
any headwater project constructed by the United States, a licensee, or a 
pre-1920 permittee that is upstream from a non-Federal hydroelectric 
project must submit the following:
    (1) Name and location of the headwater project, including the name 
of the stream on which it is located.
    (2) The total nameplate rating of installed generating capacity of 
the project, expressed in kilowatts, with the portion of total capacity 
that represents pumped storage generating capacity separately 
designated.
    (3) A description of the total storage capacity of the reservoir and 
allocation of storage capacity to each of its functions, such as dead 
storage, power storage, irrigation storage, and flood control storage. 
Identification, by reservoir elevation, of the portion of the reservoir 
assigned to each of its respective storage functions.

    (4) An elevation-capacity curve, or a tabulation of reservoir pool 
elevations with corresponding reservoir storage capacities.
    (5) A copy of rule curves, coordination contracts, agreements, or 
other relevant data governing the release of water from the reservoir, 
including a separate statement of their effective dates.
    (6) A curve or tabulation showing actual reservoir pool elevations 
throughout the immediately preceding calendar year and for each year 
included in an investigation.
    (7) The total annual gross generation of the hydroelectric plant in 
kilowatt-hours, not including energy from pumped storage operation.
    (8) The total number of kilowatt-hours of energy produced from 
pumped storage operation.
    (9) The investigation costs attributed to the power generation 
function of the project as of the close of the calendar year or at a 
specified date during the year, categorized according to that portion 
that is attributed to the specific power costs, and that portion that is 
attributed to the joint-use power costs.
    (10) The portion of the joint-use power cost, and other costs 
required by law to be allocated to joint-use power cost, each item shown 
separately, that are attributable to the annual costs of interest, 
maintenance, and depreciation, identifying the annual interest rate and 
the method used to compute the depreciation charge, or the interest rate 
and period used to compute amortization if used in lieu of depreciation, 
including any differing interest rates used for major replacements or 
rehabilitation.
    (c) Data required from owners of downstream projects. The owner of 
any hydroelectric project which is downstream from a headwater project 
constructed by the United States, a licensee, or pre-1920 permittee must 
submit the following:
    (1) Name and location of the downstream project, including the name 
of the stream on which it is located.
    (2) Total nameplate rating of the installed generating capacity of 
the plant, expressed in kilowatts, with the portion of total capacity 
that represents pumped storage generating capacity separately 
designated.
    (3) Record of daily gross generation, not including energy used for 
pumped storage, and any unit outage which may have occurred.
    (4) The total number of kilowatt-hours of energy produced from 
pumped storage operation.
    (d) Abbreviated data submissions. (1) For those items in paragraphs 
(b) and (c) of this section in which data for the current period are the 
same as data furnished for a prior period, the data need not be 
resubmitted if the owner identifies the last period for which the data 
were reported.
    (2) The Commission will notify the project owner that certain data 
items in paragraphs (b) and (c) are no longer required to be submitted 
annually if:
    (i) A variable in the headwater benefits formula has become a 
constant; or
    (ii) A prospective final charge, as described in Sec. 11.17(b)(5), 
has been established.
    (e) Additional data. Owners of headwater projects or downstream 
projects must furnish any additional data required by the Commission 
staff under paragraph (a) of this section and may provide other data 
which they consider relevant.
