Abstract: Congress has directed the Commission to collect fees and annual charges equal to its annual appropriation. The Commission deposits the fees and annual charges it collects into the Department of Treasury's general fund. In order to determine annual charges, the Commission staff uses the data submitted under FERC-582 to establish the total megawatt-hours of transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce. All parties involved in the generation and sale of electric energy rely on the transmission system to move their product (i.e. transmitted energy). Power sellers contribute to the Commission's recovery of electric regulatory program costs in that they will use the transmission system and any cost-based rates that these entities pay for their transmission service that they may take will be incurred as a share of the Commission's costs.
