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 and 

expense 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. In addition, the 

Commission clarifies and limits the 

types of ownership changes that must be 

reported to the Commission via a notice 

of change in status. Accordingly, the 

Commission certifies that this NOPR, if 

adopted, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. An analysis 

under the RFA is not required.

persons to submit comments on the
