To encourage investment in transmission infrastructure, the Commission requires all Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs), Independent Service Operators (ISOs), independent transmission providers, or other independent transmission organizations to make available long-term firm transmission rights to load-serving entities (LSEs). The Commission implemented this policy with Order No. 681, Order No. 681-A and Order No. 681-B, following direction provided by Congress in EPAct 2005, Title VII Section 1233 (b). A summary and needed clarification to the Commission’s policy for long-term firm transmission rights is posted in the OMB clearance package. To ensure that long-term firm transmission rights are made available in organized markets, the Commission requires that RTOs, ISOs, independent transmission providers, or other independent transmission organizations submit tariff sheets and rate schedules that make available long-term firm transmission rights, or alternatively, an explanation of how their current tariff and rate schedule provide for long-term firm transmission rights. These long-term firm transmission rights made available to transmission customers must satisfy each of the guidelines for long-term firm transmission rights set forth in 18 CFR 42.1(d) in order to comply with Commission requirements. All existing RTOs and ISOs were required to submit the applicable tariff sheets and rate schedules and have done so. However, FERC-732 requirements in 18 CFR 42.1(d) continue to apply to any transmission organization approved by the Commission after January 29, 2007. Therefore, a small burden for this reporting requirement remains to ensure FERC is compliant with related Congressional requirements in EPAct 2005.
