2019 Filing
Instructionss
Filings must be submitted to the
Commission on or before Monday, April 1st
2019.
The FERC eFiling system can now accept the
Office 2007 file formats. Respondents are strongly
encouraged to use one of the electronic filing methods. If
you choose to submit a paper copy of your response, please note that
only one copy is required.
Note: If there are no changes to
the documents filed for a particular section from last year, please
re-submit those documents instead of providing a statement that
references the previous year�s filing to complete the FERC-715
submission. There are no other clarifications or changes in the
filing requirements from last year.
Questions?
If you need assistance or if
you have questions on any aspects of the FERC-715 filing, please

2. Paperless submission via
CD/DVD
Submit all of the required information on CDs or
DVDs to the Secretary�s Office at:
Secretary of the
Commission
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
FERC Form No.
715
888 First Street, N.E., Room 1-A
Washington, D.C. 20426
Please include a signed transmittal letter with your
CD/DVD set. Only one copy of your CD/DVD set is required.
Please use descriptive names for the files that reflect the contents
therein.
Please use FedEx, UPS, DHL, or another package

It is difficult for the Commission
to process CDs and DVDs containing thousands of files. If your
submission will contain thousands of separate files, please consider
whether you can reduce the file count. For example, consider whether
your system diagrams can be submitted as a single PDF, rather than
providing a separate file for each substation.
