According to Section 203 of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), FERC approval is required for transactions
in which a public utility disposes of jurisdictional facilities,
merges such facilities with facilities owned by another person, or
acquires the securities of another public utility. Under the
statute, FERC must find that the proposed transaction will be
consistent with the public interest. The information collected
under the FERC-519 enables the Commission to meet its statutory
responsibilities regarding public utility disposition, merger,
consolidation of facilities, purchase, or acquisition oversight and
enforcement in accordance with the FPA as referenced above. Without
this information, FERC would be unable to meet these
responsibilities. The required information includes descriptions of
corporate attributes of the party or parties to the proposed
transaction (e.g. a sale, lease, or other disposition, merger, or
consolidation of facilities, or purchase of other acquisition of
the securities of a public utility and the facilities or other
property involved in the transaction), statements about effect of
the transaction, and the applicant’s proof that the transaction
will be consistent with the public interest.
