33 SBA Final Rule on ‘‘Small Business Size Standards: Utilities,’’ 78 FR 77,343 (Dec. 23, 2013). employees including affiliates. 33 This NOPR, if adopted, reduces (for small and large entities) the burden andexpense associated with filing marketbased rate applications and triennial market power updates by clarifying the current regulations and by requiring identification of only the ultimate affiliate owner(s) and affiliate owners that directly own or control generation, transmission, or inputs to electric power production, have a franchised service area, or have market-based rate authority, rather than the comprehensive ownership information currently required.
