Submission of the data is necessary for FERC to carry out its responsibilities to implement the statutory provisions of section 211 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 USC (824) as amended by the Energy Policy Act 1992 (Pub.L. 102-486) 106 Stat. 2776. Section 211(a) of the FPA allows any electric utility, Federal power marketing agency or any other person generating electric energy for sale or resale to apply for an order requiring a transmitting utility to provide transmission services to the applicant. The Commission may issue an order only if the applicant has requested the transmission services from the transmitting utility at least 60 days before applying to the Commission. Accordingly, a request for transmission services is a condition upon which the Commission may order service under Section 211. Section 213(a) of the FPA requires a response by the transmitting utility to a good faith request. Unless the transmitting utility agrees to provide such services as rates, charges, terms and conditions acceptable to such person, the transmitting utility, within 60 days of its receipt of the request, or other mutually agreed upon period, provides such applicant with a detailed written explanation with specific reference to the facts and circumstances of the request including the basis for the proposed rates, charges, terms and conditions of such services as well as any physical constraints which would affect such service. The information is not filed with the Commission, however, the request and response may be analyzed as part of the Section 211 proceeding. When negotiations are unsuccessful, the FERC-716 good faith request is included in the section 211 application, FERC-716A. In addition, the Commission applies the good faith standards so as to carry out Congress' objective that, subject to appropriate terms and conditions and just and reasonable rates, in conformance with section 212 of the Act, access to the electric transmission system for the purposes of wholesale transactions is made widely available.

There is an adjustment to the current OMB inventory. There is a decrease in the reporting burden. This decrease reflects an adjustment to the estimates from the Commission’s last submission. In addition, there have been reductions over time because of greater access to transmission services through the open access same-time system (OASIS) which originated through Commission Order 889 and recent revisions to OASIS in subsequent rulemakings which has resulted in more information available on transmission services on utility websites.
