7Revisions to Electric Quarterly Report Filing 

Process, Order No. 770, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 

31,338 (2012). 

Commission staff’s review of the 

Electric Quarterly Reports indicates that 

the following five public utilities with 

market-based rate authorization have 

failed to file their Electric Quarterly 

Reports: L&L Energy LLC, Bartram Lane 

LLC, Aspirity Energy, LLC, Palama, 

LLC, and Promet Energy Partners, LLC. 

This order notifies these public utilities 

that their market-based rate 

authorizations will be revoked unless 

they comply with the Commission’s 

requirements within 15 days of the date 

of issuance of this order. 

3. In Order No. 2001, the Commission 

stated that, 

[i]f a public utility fails to file a[n] Electric 

Quarterly Report (without an appropriate 

request for extension), or fails to report an 

agreement in a report, that public utility may 

forfeit its market-based rate authority and 

may be required to file a new application for 

market-based rate authority if it wishes to 

resume making sales at market-based rates.3

4. The Commission further stated that, 

[o]nce this rule becomes effective, the 

requirement to comply with this rule will 

supersede the conditions in public utilities’ 

market-based rate authorizations, and failure 

to comply with the requirements of this rule 

will subject public utilities to the same 

consequences they would face for not 

satisfying the conditions in their rate 

authorizations, including possible revocation 

of their authority to make wholesale power 

sales at market-based rates.4

5. Pursuant to these requirements, the 

Commission has revoked the marketbased rate tariffs of market-based rate 

sellers that failed to submit their 

Electric Quarterly Reports.5

6. Sellers must file Electric Quarterly 

Reports consistent with the procedures 

set forth in Order Nos. 2001, 768,6 and 

770.7 The exact filing dates for Electric 

Quarterly Reports are prescribed in 18 

CFR 35.10b (2017). As noted above, 

Commission staff’s review of the 

Electric Quarterly Reports for the period 

up to the first quarter of 2018 identified 

five public utilities with market-based 

rate authorization that failed to file 

Electric Quarterly Reports. Commission 

staff contacted or attempted to contact 

these entities to remind them of their 

regulatory obligations. Despite these 

reminders, the public utilities listed in 

the caption of this order have not met 

these obligations. Accordingly, this 

order notifies these public utilities that 

their market-based rate authorizations 

will be revoked unless they comply 

with the Commission’s requirements 

within 15 days of the issuance of this 

order. 

7. In the event that any of the abovecaptioned market-based rate sellers has 

already filed its Electric Quarterly 

Reports in compliance with the 

Commission’s requirements, its 

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 does not wish 

to continue having market-based rate 

authority, it may file a notice of 

cancellation with the Commission 

pursuant to section 205 of the FPA to 

cancel its 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 subject to this order fails 

to make the filings required in this 

order, the Commission will revoke that 

public utility’s market-based rate 

authorization 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.
