[formerly part of FERC-516 (OMB No. 1902-0096)]

(Order 770, Final Rule for EQR System Refresh, in RM12-3-000, Issued 11/15/2012; RIN 1902-AD52)

Notes

The final rule in RM12-3 (Order 770) updates the system and method used for filing 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 Data Dictionary at http://elibrary.ferc.gov/idmws/common/opennat.asp?fileID=13111960 .

1 A related item, Order 768, the EQR Transparency Rule in Docket RM10-12, uses the same timing for implementation.

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