1Electronic Tariff Filings, Order No. 714, FERC 

Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,276 (2008). 

2The data elements and communication protocol 

are described in the Implementation Guide for 

Electronic Filing of Parts 35, 154, 284, 300, and 341 

Tariff Filing (Implementation Guide), available at 

http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/etariff/

3As indicated in Order No. 714, this phrase is 

intended to encompass rate schedule and 

jurisdictional agreement filings as well. Order No. 

714, at P 13 n.11. 

e. The EECBG program has 

dramatically increased the workload 

placed on DOE procurement offices to 

award and administer the grants 

executed for the program. 

f. Delegation of certain non-monetary 

administrative actions to DOE program 

managers will increase the speed of 

expenditures of Recovery Act funds 

under the EECBG to speed goals of the 

Recovery Act. 

g. Appropriate controls, oversight and 

monitoring are available to decrease the 

risk of misuse of funds by the recipients 

without the Contracting Officers 

involvement in approval of 

programmatic changes and other 

administrative actions. 

Determination 

Based on the above findings and in 

accordance with the authority granted to 

me as the Senior Procurement Executive 

of the Department of Energy and as the 

Director of OPAM, I have determined 

that a class deviation to Department of 

Energy policies and procedures 

governing financial assistance is 

appropriate and necessary to meet the 

goals and objectives of the Recovery Act 

while at the same time providing 

required due diligence and rigor that 

support DOE’s execution of its fiduciary 

responsibilities. 

I have determined the deviation to 10 

CFR Part 600, in particular 10 CFR 

600.230, and DOE policies and 

procedures on the use of warranted 

Contracting Officers to administer 

financial assistance agreements is in the 

best interest of the EECBG program and 

the use of Recovery Act funds. The 

deviation is approved subject to the 

above findings and the process outlined 

in the attached memorandum. 

This class deviation applies to 

financial assistance agreements made 

using Recovery Act funding to State, 

city, county or Tribal recipients in 

support of the EECBG program. It does 

not apply to non-formula awards. 

This class deviation is not effective 

until fifteen days after a notice is 

published in the Federal Register; see 

10 CFR 600.4(d). 

Patrick M. Ferraro, 

Acting Director, Office of Procurement and 

Assistance Management.

document ‘‘Filing Procedures For 

Electronically Filed Tariffs, Rate 

Schedules And Jurisdictional 

Agreements’’ has been posted on the

Kimberly D. Bose, 

Secretary. 

Filing Procedures for Electronically 

Filed Tariffs, Rate Schedules and 

Jurisdictional Agreements 

In Order No. 714,1 the Commission 

adopted regulations requiring that, 

starting April 1, 2010, and for a 

transition period through September 30, 

2010, all tariffs, rate schedules, and 

jurisdictional agreements, and revisions 

to such documents, filed with the 

Commission must be filed electronically 

according to a format provided in the 

Implementation Guide.2 Based on issues 

that have arisen on some of the baseline 

tariff filings, and inquiries, this notice 

describes procedures for making 

electronic tariff filings.3 Electronic tariff 

filings that do not comply with these 

requirements are subject to rejection. 

• Once a Baseline Tariff Filing Has 

Been Made, All Tariff Filings Must be 

Made Electronically Pursuant to the 

Order No. 714 Guidelines. 

Once a company makes its baseline 

tariff filing in compliance with Order 

No. 714, the company must make all 

subsequent filings of tariffs, rate 

schedules, and jurisdictional 

agreements in the Order No. 714 

baseline tariff filing format. As provided 

in Order No. 714, this requirement is 

not limited to tariffs or to modifications 

of the baseline tariff filing, but 

encompasses all the company’s other 

tariffs, rate schedules, and jurisdictional 

agreements, and all filings revising, 

withdrawing, or otherwise affecting 

such documents or the effective dates of 

such provisions. For example, natural 

gas negotiated rate agreements and nonconforming service agreements, electric 

rate schedules, transmission, power 

sale, and ancillary service agreements, 

interconnection agreements, and all 

other jurisdictional agreements are 

covered by this requirement. As 

described below, this requirement also 

applies to tariff filings related to periods 

earlier than the baseline filing. Once the 

Office of the Secretary accepts a 

company’s baseline tariff filing for 

processing, the company should not 

make any further tariff related filings on 

paper or electronically in a format that 

does not comply with the electronic 

filing format required by Order No. 714. 

• Required Tariff Documents To Be 

Included With an Electronic Tariff 

Filing. 

As part of an electronic tariff filing, 

companies must include as tariff records 

1) a copy of the proposed tariff 

provision, and 2) the plain text of the 

tariff provision. In addition as 

attachments, companies must include 3) 

a clean copy of the tariff provision and 

4) the marked text of the provision 

(when required). 

• Electronic Tariff Filings for Periods 

Earlier Than the Baseline Filing. 

The electronic tariff software will not 

accept electronic tariff filings with tariff 

records that have a proposed effective 

date earlier than the effective date 

associated with the tariff identification 

number for the baseline filing. 

Companies may have outstanding 

compliance obligations or rates for 

prior, locked-in periods that need to be 

filed with the Commission or may need 

to propose changes to parts of a 

company’s tariffs that were not part of 

the baseline tariff filing. Such filings 

should be made in the following 

manner: 

Æ The compliance or other 

provision applicable to the period after 

the baseline tariff filing has been 

accepted by the Secretary for processing 

must be made in the electronic tariff 

filing format required by Order No. 714. 

Æ Tariff provisions governing 

periods earlier than the baseline filing 

must be included either as part of the 

transmittal letter or as a separate 

attachment, unless the company and its 

customers have waived the need to file 

tariff provisions for the earlier periods. 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
30018 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 103 / Friday, May 28, 2010 / Notices 

As an example, if a company with a 

baseline tariff effective April 15, 2010, 

has an outstanding compliance filing 

with an effective date of January 1, 

2010, that the Commission accepts, the 

company must file the compliance tariff 

provisions as tariff records in 

accordance with the electronic file 

format of Order No. 714 with an 

effective date of April 15, 2010. The 

company also should file the tariff 

provisions with a January 1, 2010, 

effective date either as part of the 

transmittal letter or as a separate 

attachment. 

• FASTR Requirements for Natural 

Gas Pipelines. 

FASTR will be retired after the 

baseline tariff filings have been made 

and the current FASTR configuration for 

each company as of September 30, 2010, 

will be added to the Commission’s 

database as historical records. Once a 

baseline tariff filing has been made, 

pipelines are no longer required to 

submit records in FASTR format. 

However, companies that wish to 

update their FASTR records for past 

periods may submit an electronic 

version in the FASTR ASCII file format 

as an attachment.
