Its usually the 45 min reserve
Since it is alternate, and there is usually holding fuel for desitnation and the 45 min reserve, i dont think it is planned.
I may be wong since i am still a newibie!

min fuel= taxi+trip+5%contingency+30min holding at dest+altn fuel.
you don't hold at your alternate.
I think you might have heard something in the direction of planning without alternate.(remote aerodrome) in that case you should add in stead of alternate fuel an extra 45 min fuel. off the cuff,so please anyone correct me if I got the figures wrong.

As greuzi alreadey mentioned: Holding at alternate ist not considered.
However, the final reserve for a flight is calculated as the fuel for 30 minutes with max-endurance-speed overhead the ALTERNATE!
That does not really answer your question - since you were asking for the final reserve - 30 minutes for jets, 45 for piston aircraft...do not know how to classify ATR in this case...
