CPA CERTIFICATION STATEMENT FILING GUIDANCE
The Commission’s regulations require a Report of Certification, generally referred
to as the CPA Certification Statement, within 30 days after the electronic filing date of
FERC Form 1-F. Only jurisdictional public utilities and licensees are required to file the
CPA Certification Statement. However, Major or Nonmajor public utilities or licensees
previously classified as Class C or D prior to January 1, 1984, do not have to file a CPA
Certification Statement.
The CPA Certification Statement must be filed with the Secretary of the
Commission at the address below:
Secretary
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
888 First Street, NE
Washington, DC 20426
Companies are encouraged to file their CPA Certification Statement using eFiling.
Instructions on how to use the eFiling system are on the Commission’s website at
http://www.ferc.gov/help/how-to.asp. When asked for a docket number, enter ZZ08 and
then select the first option, “CPA Certification.” For further assistance using the eFiling
system, please contact the eFiling group at 202-502-8258 or send your question to
[email protected].

matters relating to the reporting of information in FERC Form 1-F or the CPA
Certification Statement should be directed the Office of Enforcement’s Forms
Administration and Data Branch. Please contact Brenda Devine at 202-502-8522 or

Requests for Extension of Time Related to FERC Form 1-F
All FERC Form 1-F filings for the 2007 reporting year are due on or before April
18, 2008. Filers are required to file on time. The Commission takes very seriously the
matter of filing forms by the dates prescribed in its regulations. The Commission is in no
way obligated to grant extensions of time, especially in instances where the circumstances
are within the company’s control. All filers are strongly encouraged to institute polices

3

and procedures to ensure that FERC Form 1-F and CPA Certification Statement are filed
by the dates prescribed in the regulations.
If an extraordinary situation may cause a filing delay, companies must submit a
written request for extension of time to file. The request must include a detailed
explanation and justification for the extension and should be filed via eFiling or by mail
to the Secretary of the Commission.
Requests for extension of time to file should be submitted as far in advance of the
filing due date as possible to allow the Commission sufficient time to consider and act on
the request prior to the due date. Companies that have not filed their FERC Form 1-F and
CPA Certification Statement, or have not been granted an extension of time to file them,
by the filing due dates are deemed to be out of compliance with the Commission’s
regulations.
Companies with any additional questions that are not covered by this letter should
contact at Brenda Devine at 202-502-8522 or Brian Holmes at 202-502-6008.
Sincerely,

Scott Molony
Chief Accountant
