1. Section 205 of the Federal Power 

Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 824d, and 18 CFR 

part 35 (2024), require, among other 

things, that all rates, terms, and 

conditions for jurisdictional services be 

filed with the Commission. In Order No. 

2001, the Commission revised its public 

utility filing requirements and 

established a requirement for public 

utilities, including power marketers, to 

file Electric Quarterly Reports.1

2. The Commission requires sellers 

with market-based rate authorization to 

file Electric Quarterly Reports 

summarizing contractual and 

transaction information related to their 

market-based power sales as a condition 

for retaining that authorization.2

Commission staff’s review of the 

Electric Quarterly Reports indicates that 

the following 12 public utilities with 

market-based rate authorization have 

failed to file their Electric Quarterly 

Reports: Astral Energy LLC, Clear Green 

Energy LLC, GP Energy Management 

LLC, Homer City Generation, L.P., Mega 

Energy Holdings LLC, Planet Energy 

(Maryland) Corp., Planet Energy (New 

York) Corp., Planet Energy 

(Pennsylvania) Corp., Planet Energy 

(USA) Corp., Power Supply Services 

LLC, Relief Energy LLC, and The 

Valence Group, LLC. This order notifies 

these public utilities that their marketbased 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: 

the requirement to comply with this rule . . . 

supersede[s] 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 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. As noted above, 

Commission staff’s review of the 

Electric Quarterly Reports for the period 

up to the second quarter of 2024 

identified 12 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 have 

already filed Electric Quarterly Reports 

in compliance with the Commission’s 

requirements, their 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, that seller 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

Register.

Abstract: On August 15, 2016, the 

North American Electric Reliability 

Corporation (NERC) filed a petition for 

Commission approval, pursuant to 

section 215(d)(1) of the Federal Power 

Act (‘‘FPA’’) 1 and Section 39.5 2 of the 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s regulations, for 

Reliability Standard COM–001–3 

(Communications), the associated 

Implementation Plan, retirement of 

currently-effective Reliability Standard 

COM–001–2.1, and Violation Risk 

Factors (‘‘VRFs’’) and Violation Severity 

Levels (‘‘VSLs’’) associated with new 

Requirements R12 and R13 in 

Reliability Standard COM–001–3. 

Reliability Standard COM–001–3 

reflects revisions developed under 

Project 2015–07 Internal 

Communications Capabilities, in 

compliance with the Commission’s 

directive in Order No. 888 that NERC 

‘‘develop modifications to COM–001–2, 

or develop a new standard, to address 

the Commission’s concerns regarding 

ensuring the adequacy of internal 

communications capability whenever 

internal communications could directly 

affect reliable operations. 

Reliability Standards COM–001–2 and 

COM–002–4 do not require responsible 

entities to file information with the 

Commission. COM–001–2 requires that 

transmission operators, balancing 

authorities, reliability coordinators, 

distribution providers, and generator 

operators to maintain documentation of 

interpersonal communication capability 

and designation of Alternate 

Interpersonal Communication, as well 

as evidence of testing of the Alternate 

Interpersonal Communication facilities. 

COM–002–4 requires balancing 

authorities, distribution providers, 

reliability coordinators, transmission 

operators, and generator operators to 

develop and maintain documented 

communication protocols, and to be 

able to provide evidence of training on 

the protocols in their annual 

assessment. Additionally, all applicable 

entities (balancing authorities, 

reliability coordinators, transmission 

operators, generator operators, and 

distribution providers) must be able to 

provide evidence of three-part 

communication when issuing or 

receiving an operating instruction 

during an Emergency. 

The one-time consideration of 

responsibility for COM–002–4 

associated with Requirement R1 is no 

longer needed as entities previously 

developed protocols associated with 

effective communication. The ongoing 

work for COM–001–3 and COM–002–4 

will remain the same, but the type of job 

responsibilities to follow the 

requirements will be split between an
