18 CFR Part 35 

[Docket No. RM09–24–000; Order No. 727] 

Interest Rates for Refunds 

Issued October 15, 2009. 

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, DOE. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Commission is revising 

its regulations governing the interest 

rates used in calculating refunds. 

Because the Federal Reserve no longer 

publishes Statistical Release G. 13, 

which was previously referenced in the 

Commission’s regulations, and 

Statistical Release G. 13 has been 

superseded by Statistical Release H. 15, 

this Final Rule revises the Commission’s 

regulations to now reference the Federal 

Reserve’s Statistical Release H. 15. 

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is 

effective October 22, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Before Commissioners: Jon Wellinghoff, 

Chairman; Suedeen G. Kelly, Marc Spitzer, 

and Philip D. Moeller. 

I. Discussion 

1. The Commission is revising its 

regulations governing the interest rates 

used in calculating refunds to reflect a 

change in the Federal Reserve’s 

publications. Currently, the regulations 

reference the Federal Reserve’s 

Statistical Release G. 13 for the 

calculation of the average prime rate for 

each calendar quarter used in 

determining refunds.1 The Federal 

Reserve no longer publishes Statistical 

Release G. 13, and Statistical Release G. 

13 has been superseded by Statistical 

Release H. 15.2 Accordingly, this Final 

Rule revises the Commission’s 

regulations to now refer to the Federal 

Reserve’s Statistical Release H. 15. The 

methods for calculating refunds or for 

determining the applicable interest rates 

are not being altered in any way. 

II. Information Collection Statement 

2. The Office of Management and 

Budget’s (OMB) regulations require that 

OMB approve certain information 

collection requirements imposed by 

agency rule.3 This Final Rule does not 

contain information collection 

requirements and is not subject to OMB 

approval. 

III. Environmental Analysis 

3. The Commission is required to 

prepare an Environmental Assessment 

or an Environmental Impact Statement 

for any action that may have a 

significant adverse effect on the quality 

of the human environment.4 Issuance of 

this Final Rule does not represent a 

major federal action having a significant 

adverse effect on the quality of the 

human environment under the 

Commission’s regulations implementing 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

of 1969. Part 380 of the Commission’s 

regulations lists exemptions to the 

requirement to draft an Environmental 

Analysis or Environmental Impact 

Statement. Included is an exemption for

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 203 / Thursday, October 22, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 54463 

5 18 CFR 380.4(1). 

6 5 U.S.C. 601–12. 

7We similarly find that this rule does not 

substantially affect the rights or obligations of 

parties to Commission proceedings, since it merely 

corrects a reference to a no longer published 

Federal Reserve Statistical Release, and otherwise 

does not change the methods for calculating refunds 

or for determining the applicable interest rates. See 

5 U.S.C. 804(3)(C). 

procedural, ministerial or internal 

administrative actions and 

management.5 This rulemaking is 

exempt under that provision. 

IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

4. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 

1980 (RFA) 6 generally requires a 

description and analysis of final rules 

that will have significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. This final rule makes a 

ministerial correction to the regulations, 

correcting the reference to a Federal 

Reserve Statistical Release. The 

Commission certifies that it will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

An analysis under the RFA is not 

required.

VI. Effective Date 

8. These regulations are effective 

October 22, 2009. In accordance with 5 

U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Commission finds 

that good cause exists to make this Final 

Rule effective immediately. It corrects 

an out-of-date reference in the 

Commission’s regulations to reflect a 

change in the Federal Reserve’s 

Statistical Releases. It will not 

significantly and adversely affect 

persons appearing before the 

Commission. There is therefore no 

reason to make this rule effective at a 

later time. 

9. The Commission is issuing this rule 

as a Final Rule without a period for 

public comment. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b), 

notice and comment procedures are 

unnecessary where a rulemaking 

concerns only agency procedure and 

practice, or where the agency finds that 

notice and comment are unnecessary.7

The Commission finds that notice and 

comment are unnecessary because the 

Commission is merely correcting a 

reference to a no longer published 

Federal Reserve Statistical Release. No 

new burden or regulatory requirement is 

imposed on regulated entities or the 

general public. Instead, this Final Rule 

merely updates an out-of-date reference 

in the Commission’s regulations to 

reflect a change in the Federal Reserve’s 

Statistical Releases.

Standards of Conduct for 

Transmission Providers 

Issued October 15, 2009. 

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, DOE. 

ACTION: Final rule; order on rehearing 

and clarification. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission) 

generally reaffirms its determinations in 

Order No. 717, but grants rehearing on 

and clarifies certain provisions. Order 

No. 717–A aims to make the Standards 

of Conduct clearer and to refocus the 

rules on the areas where there is the 

greatest potential for abuse. The order 

addresses requests for rehearing and 

clarification of the following issues: 

Applicability of the Standards of 

Conduct to transmission owners with no 

marketing affiliate transactions; whether 

the Independent Functioning Rule 

applies to balancing authority 

employees; which activities of 

transmission function employees or 

marketing function employees are 

subject to the Independent Functioning 

Rule; whether local distribution 

companies making off-system sales on 

nonaffiliated pipelines are subject to the 

Standards of Conduct; whether the 

Standards of Conduct apply to a 

pipeline’s sale of its own production; 

applicability of the Standards of 

Conduct to asset management 

agreements; whether incidental 

purchases to remain in balance or sales 

of unneeded gas supply subject the 

company to the Standards of Conduct; 

applicability of the No Conduit Rule to 

certain situations; and applicability of 

the Transparency Rule to certain 

situations. 

DATES: Effective Date: This rule will 

become effective November 23, 2009.
