A consolidated supporting statement is
being submitted with 5 ICRs (for Forms 1, 1-F, and 3-Q electric;
FERC-717 and FERC-917) for the final rule in Docket No. RM11-24.
The FERC-717 contains information collection requirements that are
part of business practice standards. These standards apply to all
Public Utilities owning and/or controlling facilities used for the
transmission of electricity in interstate commerce. The Commission
determined that standardization of business practices and
communication processes benefits the electric industry by providing
uniform methods for public utilities to conduct business with
different transmission providers. Many participants in electric
markets conduct business transactions involving a number of
different transmission providers. Establishing a uniform set of
procedures and communication protocols increases the efficiency of
such transactions. In its Final Rule, Order No. 889, the Commission
required public utilities to establish Open Access Same-Time
Information System (OASIS) sites to provide transmission customers
with equal and timely access to information about transmission and
ancillary services provided in the tariffs. This requirement was
established because the Commission believes that transmission
customers must have simultaneous access to the same information
available to the Transmission Provider in order to achieve
nondiscriminatory transmission services. The OASIS postings are
also part of FERC-717.
US Code:

USC 824d Name of Law: Federal Power Act
FERC is revising its
regulations to enhance competition and transparency in ancillary
services markets. FERC is revising certain aspects of its current
market-based rate regulations, ancillary services requirements
under the pro forma open-access transmission tariff (OATT), and
accounting and reporting requirements. Specifically, FERC is
revising Part 35 of its regulations to reflect reforms to its
Avista policy governing the sale of ancillary services at
market-based rates to public utility transmission providers. FERC
is also requiring each public utility transmission provider to add
to its OATT Schedule 3 a statement that it will take into account
the speed and accuracy of regulation resources in its determination
of reserve requirements for Regulation and Frequency Response
service, including as it reviews whether a self-supplying customer
has made alternative comparable arrangements as required by the
Schedule. Each public utility transmission provider is also
required to post certain Area Control Error data on the open access
same-time information system (OASIS). Finally, FERC is revising the
accounting and reporting requirements under its Uniform System of
Accounts for public utilities and licensees (USofA) and its forms,
statements, and reports, contained in FERC Form No. 1 (Form No. 1),
Annual Report of Major Electric Utilities, Licensees and Others,
FERC Form No. 1-F (Form No. 1-F), Annual Report for Nonmajor Public
Utilities and Licensees, and FERC Form No. 3-Q (Form No. 3-Q),
Quarterly Financial Report of Electric Utilities, Licensees, and
Natural Gas Companies, to better account for and report
transactions associated with the use of energy storage devices in
public utility operations.
