Three‑Year Renewal of FERC‑603
FERC is renewing the FERC-603 collection (Critical Energy/Electric Infrastructure Information) for three years with no changes to reporting or recordkeeping requirements. That means people who seek CEII must continue to follow the current application and non-disclosure agreement process.

FERC estimates 100 annual respondents to FERC-603, each making one response that takes 0.3 hours on average. The estimated cost per response is $30.60, for a total annual respondent burden of 30 hours and $3,060.
CEII Access via Non‑Disclosure Agreement
To receive Critical Energy/Electric Infrastructure Information, requesters must provide identifying information, a detailed statement of need, a signed accuracy statement, and an executed non-disclosure agreement that includes restrictions (use only for the stated purpose, limited recipients, secure handling, destruction/return on request, no disclosure outside the U.S., and not releasable under FOIA). FERC may audit compliance and requires reporting of unauthorized disclosures.
