inclusion herein is inadvertent. Such 

market-based rate seller is directed, 

within 15 days of the date of issuance 

of this order, to make a filing with the 

Commission identifying itself and 

providing details about its prior filings 

that establish that it complied with the 

Commission’s Electric Quarterly Report 

filing requirements. 

8. If any of the above-captioned 

market-based rate sellers do not wish to 

continue having market-based rate 

authority, they may file a notice of 

cancellation with the Commission 

pursuant to section 205 of the FPA to 

cancel their market-based rate tariff. 

The Commission orders: 

(A) Within 15 days of the date of 

issuance of this order, each public 

utility listed in the caption of this order 

shall file with the Commission all 

delinquent Electric Quarterly Reports. If 

a public utility fails to make this filing, 

the Commission will revoke that public 

utility’s authority to sell power at 

market-based rates and will terminate 

its electric market-based rate tariff. The 

Secretary is hereby directed, upon 

expiration of the filing deadline in this 

order, to promptly issue a notice, 

effective on the date of issuance, listing 

the public utilities whose tariffs have 

been revoked for failure to comply with 

the requirements of this order and the 

Commission’s Electric Quarterly Report 

filing requirements. 

(B) The Secretary is hereby directed to 

publish this order in the Federal 

Register. 

By the Commission.

Transmission Planning Processes 

Under Order No. 890; Supplemental 

Notice of Technical Conferences 

August 3, 2009. 

On June 30, 2009, the Commission 

issued a notice scheduling staff 

technical conferences to examine the 

transmission planning processes that are 

being conducted pursuant to Order No. 

890.1 As stated in the June 30 notice, 

these technical conferences are intended 

to meet the Commission’s commitment 

that its staff would conduct an 

assessment of the Order No. 890 

transmission planning processes. The 

focus of the 2009 regional technical 

conferences will be: (1) To determine 

the progress and benefits realized by 

each transmission provider’s 

transmission planning process, obtain 

customer and other stakeholder input, 

and discuss any areas that may need 

improvement; (2) to examine whether 

existing transmission planning 

processes adequately consider needs 

and solutions on a regional or 

interconnection-wide basis to ensure 

adequate and reliable supplies at just 

and reasonable rates; and (3) to explore 

whether existing processes are sufficient 

to meet emerging challenges to the
