FERC Allocation of Project Costs
FERC requires the cost of the project to be broken down into fixed asset types for depreciation and asset valuation
purposes. Of the total project cost estimate, break out the costs into the following asset categories**. Note that these
cost breakouts include the amount of effort (equipment, labor, loadings, and professional services) to put the asset into
service.
Accounting Expenditure Type Allocation Estimate Example
(107600) (108000)
Accounting Asset Category
Hardware (FERC Account 391) $10,000 $2,000 $0 $12,000
Communications Equipment (FERC Account 397) $0 $0 $0 $0
Software (FERC Account 303) $2,000 $4,000 $0 $6,000
Estimated Total Cost: 12,000 6,000 $0 $18,000
FERC Definitions
1) Hardware examples: personal computers, printers, physical servers, racks, disk
2) Communication Equipment examples: phones, smart phones, radios, fiber optic cable, copper wire
3) Software examples: commercial off the shelf software purchased, virtual servers, operating system, data base
software.
4) “Removal” is labor, professional service and other misc. costs that are associated with the removal of equipment
that is retired.
GUIDE: The difference between Hardware and Communications Equipment is from an accounting perspective. Any
equipment that facilitates the physical communication between two sites is defined as communications equipment. To
clarify, equipment to ‘distribute’ the communications within a site is defined as hardware, not communications
equipment.
**Please consult with your Program Manager if you have any questions distinguishing Hardware from Communications
Equipment in your project.
