§ 11.20 Costs of administration.

Reasonable annual charges will be assessed by the Commission against each licensee to reimburse the United States for the costs of administration of Part 1 of the Federal Power Act as follows:

(a) For licensees, other than State or municipal, of projects of more than 2,000 horsepower of installed capacity:

(1) A determination shall be made for each fiscal year of the costs of adininistration of Part I of the Federal Power Act chargeable to such licensees. from which shall be deducted such administrative costs allocated by the Com

mission to minor part licenses for which administrative charges are waived under section 10(1) of the Act and those fixed by the Commission in determining headwater benefit payments.

(2) For each calendar year the costs of administration determined under subparagraph (1) of this paragraph shall be assessed against such licensee in the proportion that the annual charge factor for each such project bears to the total of the annual charge factors under all such outstanding licenses.

(3) The annual charge factor for each such project shall be found as follows:

(1) For a conventional project the factor is its authorized installed capacity (horsepower) plus 150 times its annual energy output in millions of kilowatthours.

(ii) For a pure pumped storage project the factor is the authorized horsepower.

(iii) For a mixed conventionalpumped storage project the factor is its authorized installed capacity (horsepower) plus 150 times its gross annual energy output in millions of kilowatthours less 100 times the annual energy used for pumped storage pumping in millions of kilowatt-hours.

(4) To enable the Commission to determine such charges annually, each licensee shall file with the Commission, on or before February 1 of each year, a statement under oath showing the gross amount of power generated (or produced by nonelectrical equipment) and the amount of power used for pumped storage pumping by the project during the preceding calendar year, expressed in kilowatt hours. If any licensee does not report the gross energy output of its project within the time specified above, the Commission's staff shall estimate the energy output which estimate will be used in lieu of any filings made by such licensee after February 1.

(5) No licensee under a license issued prior to August 26, 1935, shall be required to pay annual charges in an amount greater than that prescribed in such license.

(b) For State or municipal licensees of projects of more than 100 horsepower of installed capacity:
