Abstract: FERC–716 pertains to
transmission of electricity generated and
sold at the wholesale level, i.e., sold to
a utility or other entity reselling that
energy to residential, business, or
industrial customers. The term of art for
such a transaction is ‘‘sale for resale.’’
The FPA and the relevant Commission
regulations provide for two procedures
that a generator of electricity may use to
seek transmission services from an
entity that does not own or directly use
the power it is transmitting. One
procedure involves the exchange of
information between generators and
transmitting utilities, and does not
require submission of information to the
Commission. The other procedure,
which is applicable only if the exchange
of information is unsuccessful, involves
an application for a Commission
interconnection or transmission order.
Section 213(a) of the FPA (16 U.S.C.
16 U.S.C. 824l) provides that whenever
a person generating wholesale electric
energy makes a good faith request to a
transmitting utility to provide wholesale
transmission services, and includes in
that request specific rates and charges
and other terms and conditions, the
transmitting utility must either:
• Agree to provide such services at
rates, charges, terms and conditions
acceptable to the generator-requester; or
• Within 60 days or other mutually
agreed upon period, provide the
generator-requester with a detailed
written explanation, with specific
reference to the facts and circumstances
of the request, stating (1) the
transmitting utility’s basis for the
proposed rates, charges, terms, and
conditions for such services, and (2) its
analysis of any physical or other
constraints affecting the provision of
such services.
Section 211(a) of the FPA (16 U.S.C.
824j(a)) provides that any person
generating wholesale electric energy
may apply to the Commission for an
order requiring a transmitting utility to
provide wholesale transmission services
to the applicant. The Commission’s
regulation at 18 CFR 2.20 provides that
the Commission may issue an FPA
section 211 order only if the applicant
has made a request for transmission
services to the transmitting utility at
least 60 days prior to the filing of an
application for such order. A
Commission order requiring
interconnection or transmission services
must include a determination that the
order meets the requirements of FPA
section 212 (16 U.S.C. 824k) and would
otherwise be in the public interest.
Program changes are necessary to
increase the accuracy of this
information collection request. As

hourly cost is $100/hour.
