Order on Reporting Requirements for 

Blanket Authorization Under FPA 

Section 203 

Order No. 708–B 

Issued May 21, 2009. 

1. In this order, the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission) 

adopts reporting requirements that 

apply to the expanded blanket 

authorization under § 33.1(c)(12) of the 

Commission’s regulations,1 adopted in 

Order No. 708–A.2

I. Background 

2. In Order No. 708, the Commission 

amended its regulations under section 

203 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) to 

provide for five additional blanket 

authorizations under FPA section 

203(a)(1).3 The Commission found that 

the blanket authorizations would 

facilitate investment in the electric 

utility industry and, at the same time, 

ensure that public utility customers are 

adequately protected from any adverse 

effects of such transactions. One of the 

additional blanket authorizations 

provided that a public utility could 

transfer its outstanding voting securities 

to any holding company granted blanket 

authorizations in paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of 

§ 33.1 of the Commission’s regulations, 

if after the transfer, the holding 

company and any of its associate or 

affiliate companies in aggregate would 

own less than 10 percent of the 

outstanding voting interests of such 

public utility. In adopting § 33.1(c)(12) 

of the Commission’s regulations, the 

Commission rejected requests to extend 

the blanket authorization to ‘‘any 

person,’’ on the grounds that without 

increased reporting requirements, any 

such extension would best be made on 

a case-by-case basis.4 The Commission 

also rejected requests to expand the 

reporting requirements applicable to the 

Commission’s blanket authorizations 

under § 33.1 of the Commission’s 

regulations. 

3. In Order No. 708–A, the 

Commission granted, in part, and 

denied, in part, the requests for 

rehearing of Order No. 708. Among 

other things, the Commission expanded 

the blanket authorization under 

§ 33.1(c)(12) of the Commission’s 

regulations to authorize a public utility 

to transfer its outstanding voting 

securities to ‘‘any person’’ other than a 

holding company if, after the transfer, 

such person and any of its associate or 

affiliate companies will own less than 

10 percent of the outstanding voting 

interests of such public utility. The 

Commission stated that it would also 

adopt a reporting requirement for 

entities transacting under that blanket 

authorization. In order to properly tailor 

the additional reporting requirement, 

the Commission also stated that it 

would issue a request for supplemental 

comments on the narrow issue of the 

scope and form of the reporting 

requirements under the expanded 

blanket authorizations under 

§ 33.1(c)(12) of the Commission’s 

regulations. 

4. In its request for rehearing, the 

Financial Institutions Energy Group 5

(Financial Group) proposed several 

conditions for the reporting 

requirement. Financial Group proposed 

that within a specified time following 

consummation of the transaction, the 

following information be reported: (1) 

Names of all parties to the transaction; 

(2) identification of both the pretransaction and post-transaction voting 

security holdings (and the percentage 

ownership) in the public utility held by 

the acquirer and its associates or 

affiliate companies; (3) the date the 

transaction was consummated; (4) 

identification of any public utility or 

holding company affiliates of the parties 

to the transaction; and (5) the same type 

of statement currently required under 

§ 33.2(j)(1) of the Commission’s 

regulations,6 which describes Exhibit M 

to an FPA section 203 filing. 

5. On July 17, 2008, the Commission 

issued an order seeking supplemental 

comments on the narrow issue of the 

scope and form of the reporting 

requirements under the expanded 

blanket authorization. The Commission 

sought comment on whether Financial 

Group’s proposed reporting requirement 

should be adopted, as proposed or 

modified. The Commission requested 

that commenters who disagreed with 

the proposed reporting requirement 

should explain why and propose 

alternative reporting requirements. The 

Commission also sought comment as to 

whether reports should be filed with the 

Commission on a quarterly basis or on 

some other basis. 

II. Comments 

6. The Commission received one 

comment on the proposed reporting 

requirements, from Financial Group. 

Financial Group states that the 

Commission should adopt the reporting 

requirements it proposed earlier. 

Financial Group argues that for 

transactions involving non-holding 

companies, these requirements would 

give the Commission at least as much 

comfort (if not greater comfort) with 

respect to possible changes in control as 

the preexisting reporting requirements 

applicable to holding companies. The 

information required in the reports, 

Financial Group argues, will allow the 

Commission to determine whether there 

is a change in control—the purpose for 

monitoring these types of transactions. 

7. With respect to the proposed 

requirement to include information 

regarding cross-subsidization, Financial 

Group states that it does not believe that 

this condition is necessary, but it does 

not object to the inclusion of this 

condition if the Commission deems it 

necessary. Financial Group notes that 

the transactions at issue presumptively 

do not convey an ability to exercise 

control, so there should be no concern 

about cross-subsidization for the 

Commission to consider. If the 

Commission does require a statement 

regarding cross-subsidization, Financial 

Group argues that this statement should 

not be required where neither party to 

the transaction has captive customers. 

8. Financial Group recommends that 

the Commission require the reporting 

information on transactions covered by 

the blanket authorization in section 

33(c)(12) of the Commission’s 

regulations to be provided within 30 

days after the end of the calendar 

quarter in which the transactions 

occurred. This timeline would allow 

companies who have made multiple 

transactions to make a combined filing 

that would cover each of their 

transactions in the prior quarter. Such a 

filing would be more efficient both for 

the filing party and for the 

Commission’s review. Financial Group 

requests that the Commission affirm that 

the reporting requirement is not 

intended to be ongoing; once a 

transaction has been reported there are 

no further reporting requirements with 

respect to that transaction. 

9. Accordingly, Financial Group 

suggests that a new section 33(c)(17) be 

added with respect to the reporting 

requirement for transactions under the 

25412 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 101 / Thursday, May 28, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

7Financial Group proposed that parties include 

in their disclosure the same type of statement 

currently required under section 33.2(j)(1), which 

describes Exhibit M to an FPA section 203 filing.

blanket authorization, to state as 

follows: 

A public utility granted blanket 

authorization under section 33.1(c)(12)(ii) to 

transfer its outstanding voting securities, and 

the acquirer of such voting securities, shall 

within 30 days after the end of the calendar 

quarter in which such transfer has occurred, 

file with the Commission a report containing 

the following information: 

(i) The names of all parties to the 

transaction; 

(ii) Identification of the pre- and posttransaction voting security holdings (and 

percentage ownership) in the public utility 

held by the acquirer and its associate or 

affiliate companies; 

(iii) The date the transaction was 

consummated; and 

(iv) Identification of any public utility or 

holding company affiliates of the parties to 

the transaction. 

III. Discussion 

10. As the Commission stated in 

Order No. 708–A, the expansion of the 

blanket authorization under 18 CFR 

33.1(c)(12) to include ‘‘any person’’ 

requires additional reporting so that the 

Commission and the public may 

monitor the purchase and sale of 

securities under the blanket 

authorization. We find that the reporting 

requirements proposed by Financial 

Group provide adequate disclosure of 

trades made under the blanket 

authorization, and we adopt them here. 

The information required in these 

reports will allow the Commission to 

review the purchases of both holding 

and non-holding companies to 

determine whether any further action is 

required under Commission regulations. 

11. With respect to the proposed 

disclosure requirement involving crosssubsidization,7 we find that such a 

statement would be useful for the 

Commission in reviewing trades. 

Accordingly, we will require the 

disclosure report to include a statement 

either indicating that neither party to 

the transaction has any captive 

customers, or providing the information 

required in § 33.2(j)(1) of the 

Commission’s regulations.8

12. Specifically, we will require that 

public utilities engaging in transactions 

under the blanket authorization under 

18 CFR 33.1(c)(12) submit a report to the 

Commission within 30 days of the end 

of the calendar quarter in which the 

transactions occurred. At this time, we 

will not require continuing reporting 

requirements with respect to the blanket 

authorization for a transaction once that 

transaction has been reported. The 

following information, which will be 

codified under § 33.1(c)(17) of the 

Commission’s regulations, must be 

included in the report: 

• Names of all parties to the 

transaction; 

• Identification of both the pretransaction and post-transaction voting 

security holdings (and the percentage 

ownership) in the public utility held by 

the acquirer and its associate or affiliate 

companies; 

• The date the transaction was 

consummated; 

• Identification of any public utility 

or holding company affiliates of the 

parties to the transaction; 

• A statement on cross-subsidization 

of the same type as currently required 

under section 33.2(j)(1) of the 

Commission’s regulations,9 which 

describes Exhibit M to an FPA section 

203 filing. 

13. The required reports for this fiscal 

year should be filed electronically under 

Docket HC09–8–000. 

IV. Information Collection Statement 

14. The Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) regulations require that 

OMB approve certain reporting and 

record keeping (information collections) 

requirements imposed by agency 

rules.10 Therefore, the Commission is 

submitting the information collection to 

OMB for review and approval in 

accordance with section 3507(d) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.11

Burden Estimate: The public reporting 

burden for the reporting requirements 

and the records retention requirement is 

as follows. 

Data collection FERC–519 Number of 

respondents 

Number of 

responses 

Hours per 

response Total 

Reporting ......................................................................................................... 20 1 1 20 

Totals ........................................................................................................ 20 1 1 20 

Information Collection Costs: The 

Commission has projected the average 

annualized cost of all respondents to be 

the following: 20 hours (reporting) @ 

$66 per hour = $1,320 for respondents. 

No capital costs are estimated to be 

incurred by respondents. 

Title: FERC–519(b), ‘‘Blanket 

Authorization Transaction Report under 

Section 203 FPA.’’ 

Action: New collection. 

OMB Control No: To be determined. 

The applicant will not be penalized 

for failure to respond to this information 

collection unless the information 

collection displays a valid OMB control 

number or the Commission has 

provided justification as to why the 

control number should not be 

displayed. 

Respondents: Businesses or other for 

profit. 

Frequency of Responses: On occasion. 

Necessity of the Information: This 

order codifies a limited reporting 

requirement for entities taking 

advantage of a blanket authorization 

under FPA section 203(a)(1), which in 

turn provides for a category of 

jurisdictional transactions under section 

203(a)(1) for which the Commission 

would not require applications seeking 

before-the-fact approval. The 

information will enable the Commission 

and the public to monitor transactions 

that occur under the 18 CFR 33.1(c)(12) 

blanket authorization, as extended in 

Order No. 708–A. 

Internal Review: The Commission has 

conducted an internal review of the 

public reporting burden associated with 

the collection of information and 

assured itself, by means of internal 

review, that there is specific, objective 

support for its information burden 

estimate.

V. Environmental Analysis 

16. Commission regulations require 

that an environmental assessment or an 

environmental impact statement be

Environmental Policy Act, Order No. 486, 52 FR 

47897 (Dec. 17, 1987), FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 30,783 

(1987). 13 18 CFR 380.4(a)(5). 14 5 U.S.C. 601–12. 15 5 U.S.C. 601(3), citing to section 3 of the Small 

Business Act, 15 U.S.C. 632. Section 3 of the Small 

Business Act defines a ‘‘small business concern’’ as 

a business that is independently owned and 

operated and that is not dominant in its field of 

operation. The Small Business Size Standards 

component of the North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS) defines a small 

electric utility as one that, including its affiliates, 

is primarily engaged in the generation, 

transmission, and/or distribution of electric energy 

for sale and whose total electric output for the 

preceding fiscal year did not exceed four million 

MWh. 13 CFR 121.201. 

prepared for any Commission action 

that may have a significant adverse 

effect on the human environment.12 No 

environmental consideration is 

necessary for Commission action that 

involves information gathering, 

analysis, and dissemination.13

Consequently, neither an environmental 

impact statement nor an environmental 

assessment is required. 

VI. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

17. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 

1980 (RFA) 14 generally requires either a 

description and analysis of a rule that 

will have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small entities 

or a certification that the rule will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

Most utilities to which this reporting 

requirement applies would not fall 

within the RFA’s definition of small 

entity.15 Consequently, the Commission 

certifies that this reporting requirement 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities.
