Docket No. RM10-26-000
Order No. 737
Final Rule
Issued July 14, 2010.

I. Introduction

    1. This Final Rule corrects a number of the Commission's 
regulations to bring them up to date or make them consistent with other 
provisions. The revisions are intended to be ministerial and/or 
informational in nature, as explained below.

II. Discussion

A. Minor Revisions Correcting Outdated Nomenclature, Addresses, and 
Provisions

    2. Parts 3b, 46, and 152 of Title 18 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations, this Final Rule corrects all references, where 
appropriate, to the ``FPC'' (Federal Power Commission; the predecessor 
to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) to read ``FERC'' or 
``Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.'' Also in these sections, 
multiple obsolete or outdated references relating to the FERC 
organizational structure are replaced or updated as appropriate. This 
Final Rule also revises incorrect references to a former FERC address 
and deletes regulatory provisions that no longer exist. This Final Rule 
also removes certain nomenclature to be consistent with other 
provisions of our regulations. See new 18 CFR 4.12 and 4.22 (2010).

B. Minor Revisions Incorporating by Reference Web Site Language and 
Removing References to Paper Copies as Part of the Commission's Filing 
Procedures

    3. For Parts 2, 4, 5, 8, 11, 16, 24, 32, 34, 45, 46, 152, 153, 156, 
385, and 388, this Final Rule incorporates by reference the ``how to 
file'' requirements located on the Commission's Web site in order to 
reflect our current electronic filing options. These filing options are 
routinely modified to capture information and technology updates as 
well as updates to general filing procedures. In Part 2, a reference to 
multiple paper copies is replaced by a reference to updated filing 
procedures as posted on the Commission Web site. FERC now has paperless 
electronic filing options for nearly all documents submitted to the 
Commission and references to a certain number of paper copies have been 
revised.\1\ Part 4 is revised to remove multiple references to 
``certified mail,'' which is no longer a requirement. See new 18 CFR 
4.4; 4.12; 4.22 (2010). Parts 9 and 156 are revised to remove a 
reference to paper copies as part of filing procedures and Part 157 is 
revised to remove a section related to outdated file formats. Part 388 
replaces language that requires a ``written statement'' with 
``statement.'' See new 18 CFR 3b.203(b) (2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Although electronic submissions are encouraged, the 
Commission has posted a Quick Reference Guide to Paper Submissions 
at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling/filing.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 C. Minor Revisions Removing Obsolete References to Filing Fees

    4. Parts 32, 34, 45, 152, 156, and 157 are all revised by removing 
language referencing filing fees. These filing fees are no longer 
required by the Commission.

 D. Minor Revisions Removing Obsolete References to Form of Notice

    5. Parts 33, 34, and 39 are all revised by removing language 
referencing forms of notice. The notices for these filings are now 
included in the Combined Notice Process.

E. Minor Revisions Replacing Incorrect Order Number References

    6. To correct prior typographical errors, Part 35 is revised by 
replacing multiple references to ``Order 741'' with ``Order 714.''

III. Information Collection Statement

    7. The Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) regulations require 
that OMB approve certain information collection requirements imposed by 
agency rule. 5 CFR Part 1320 (2010). This Final Rule contains no 
information reporting requirements, and is not subject to OMB approval.

IV. Environmental Analysis

    8. 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 human environment.\2\ This 
Final Rule is not such an action, and does not represent a major 
federal action having a significant adverse effect on the human 
environment under the Commission's regulations implementing the 
National Environmental Policy Act. Part 380 of the Commission's 
regulations lists exemptions to the requirement that an Environmental 
Analysis or Environmental Impact Statement be done. Included is an 
exemption for

[[Page 43401]]

procedural, ministerial or internal administrative actions. 18 CFR 
380.4(1) and (5). This Final Rule is therefore exempt.

Regs., Regulations Preambles 1986-1990 ] 30,783 (1987).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification

    9. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) \3\ 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 concerns a matter of internal agency procedure and the 
Commission therefore certifies that it will not have such an impact. An 
analysis under the RFA is not required.

VI. Document Availability

    10. In addition to publishing the full text of this document in the 
Federal Register, the Commission provides all interested persons an 
opportunity to view and/or print the contents of this document via the 
Internet through the Commission's Web site (http://www.ferc.gov) and in 
the Commission's Public Reference Room during normal business hours 
(8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time) at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, 
Washington, DC 20426.
    11. From the Commission's Web site on the Internet, this 
information is available in the Commission's document management 
system, eLibrary. The full text of this document is available on 
eLibrary in PDF and Microsoft Word format for viewing, printing, and/or 
downloading. To access this document in eLibrary, type the docket 
number excluding the last three digits of this document in the docket 
number field.
    12. User assistance is available for eLibrary and the Commission's 
Web site during normal business hours from FERC Online Support at 1-
866-208-3676 (toll free) or (202) 502-6652 (e-mail at 
FERCOnlineSupport@FERC.gov), or the Public Reference Room at (202) 502-
8371, TTY 202-502-8659 (e-mail at public.referenceroom@ferc.gov).

VII. Effective Date and Congressional Notification

    13. These regulations are effective on the date of publication in 
the Federal Register. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) (2006), the 
Commission finds that good cause exists to make this Final Rule 
effective immediately. It makes minor revisions with respect to matters 
of internal operations and is unlikely to affect the rights of persons 
appearing before the Commission. There is therefore no reason to make 
this rule effective at a later time.
    14. The provisions of 5 U.S.C. 801 regarding Congressional review 
of final rules do not apply to this Final Rule, because this Final Rule 
concerns agency procedure and practice and will not substantially 
affect the rights of non-agency parties.
    15. The Commission is issuing this 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 is 
unnecessary. This rule concerns only matters of agency procedure and 
will not significantly affect regulated entities or the general public.
