Electric Quarterly Report

FERC-920, Electric Quarterly Report (EQR) [OMB No.: 1902-0255] 1

(‘Transparency’ Final Rule, in RM10-12-000, Issued 9/21/2012; RIN 1902-AD96)

Notes

The final rule in RM10-12 (Order 768) adds reporting requirements and new filers to the Electric Quarterly Report (EQR, FERC-920). Note that the changes to the EQR in this Final Rule in RM10-12 are to be made effective for data covering the third quarter (“Q3,” the period July 1 through September 30) of 2013, with those data due to FERC by 10/31/2013.¹ The existing EQR requirements continue until that time. (The EQR web page at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/eqr.asp provides additional information on the current requirements and system; it will be updated as needed for the upcoming changes.)

At a high level, on a quarterly basis, filers will file their EQR data electronically through the FERC website.² The data elements that will be required are described in the clean and redlined versions (Appendix A and Appendix C) of the Data Dictionary attached to Order 768 at http://elibrary.ferc.gov/idmws/common/opennat.asp?fileID=13069358. The clean version of the Data Dictionary from Order 768 is attached separately in ROCIS for ease of access.

1 A related item, Order 770, on the EQR System Refresh in Docket RM12-3, uses the same timing for implementation of the new EQR system.

2 Instructions and public outreach on accessing and using the new EQR System will be provided in association with Docket RM12-3.
