SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Before Commissioners: Joseph T. Kelliher, Chairman; Suedeen G. 
Kelly, Marc Spitzer, Philip D. Moeller, and Jon Wellinghoff.
    1. On October 24, 2007, Edison Electric Institute (EEI) filed a 
request for rehearing or clarification in response to the Commission's 
order adopting an Electric Quarterly Report (EQR) Data Dictionary.\1\ 
Order No. 2001-G collected in one document the definitions of certain 
terms and values used in filing EQR data (previously provided in 
Commission orders and in guidance materials posted at the Commission's 
website) and issued formal definitions for fields that were previously 
undefined.\2\ In this order, the Commission grants in part, and denies 
in part, rehearing and clarifies the information to be reported in 
Contract Execution Date (Field No. 21), Contract Commencement Date 
(Field No. 22) and Rate Description (Field No. 37). In addition, we 
correct an error that we made in Order No. 2001-G relating to Increment 
Name (Field Nos. 28 and 60).

I. Background

    2. On April 25, 2002, the Commission issued Order No. 2001, a Final 
Rule establishing revised public utility filing requirements.\3\ This 
rule revised the Commission's filing requirements to require companies 
subject to the Commission's regulations under section 205 of the 
Federal Power Act to file quarterly reports that: (1) Provide data 
identifying the utility on whose behalf the report is being filed (ID 
Data); (2) summarize pertinent data about the utility's currently 
effective contracts (Contract Data); and (3) summarize data about 
wholesale power sales the utility made during the reporting period 
(Transaction Data). The requirement to file EQRs replaced the 
requirement to file quarterly transaction reports summarizing a 
utility's market-based rate transactions and sales agreements that 
conformed to the utility's tariff.

(2004).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3. In Order No. 2001, the Commission also adopted a new section in 
its regulations, 18 CFR 35.10b, which requires that the EQRs are to be 
prepared in conformance with the Commission's software and guidance 
posted and available from the Commission website. This obviates the 
need to revise section 35.10b to implement revisions to the software 
and guidance. Since the issuance of Order No. 2001, as need has arisen, 
the Commission has issued orders to resolve questions raised by EQR 
users and has directed Staff to issue additional guidance.\4\

    4. On September 24, 2007, the Commission issued Order No. 2001-G, 
providing a data dictionary to clarify the information to be reported 
in EQR data. EEI filed a request for rehearing or clarification 
requesting clarification of a few specific items. In addition, on 
December 4, 2007, TransAlta filed comments alerting the Commission to a 
filing problem it was experiencing relating to Increment Name (Field 
Nos. 28 and 60). The discussion below addresses EEI's rehearing request 
and TransAlta's comments.

II. Discussion

A. Field No. 21--Contract Execution Date

    5. The EQR Notice \5\ proposed only a slight change to the Order 
No. 2001 definition for Contract Execution Date: ``The date the 
contract was signed. If the parties signed on different dates, or there 
are contract amendments, use the most recent date signed.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Notice Seeking Comments on Proposed Electric Quarterly 
Report Data Dictionary, FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 35,050 (2007), 72 FR 
26091 (May 8, 2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    6. In response to the EQR Notice, Reliant and EEI suggested that 
the Contract Execution Date should not change because of a minor 
amendment to the contract. Both commenters noted that, frequently, 
contract amendments are minor changes, such as changes in an address or 
in payment terms, that do not affect the key operational parameters of 
the agreement.
    7. Based on these comments, the Commission found in Order No. 2001-
G that the usefulness of the data may be increased with a single 
execution date for each contract across all periods. However, the order 
explained that, if there are material amendments to the contract, then 
the Contract Execution Date must be changed.
    8. In EEI's request for rehearing, it argues that the Commission's 
instruction that the Contract Execution Date must be changed when there 
are material amendments to the contract is confusing and burdensome. It 
suggests that the original execution date should be reported for the 
duration of the contract and argues that changes in the contract will 
be reflected in the descriptions of revised contract provisions, such 
as in the Rate (Field No. 34), Begin Date (Field No. 43) and End Date 
fields (Field No. 44).
Commission Conclusion
    9. In Order No. 2001-G, the Commission agreed with EEI and Reliant 
that it need not change the Contract Execution Date each time there is 
a minor revision to the contract and, accordingly, modified the 
instructions on what information should be reported in this field. The 
Commission reduced the burden and confusion by clarifying that minor, 
non-material changes may be omitted for the purpose of identifying the 
Contract Execution Date. EEI argues that the Contract Execution Date 
should not be revised, even in instances where there has been a 
material amendment to the contract.
    10. The Commission recognizes the benefits of classifying a 
contractual relationship based on when it originated and will revise 
the definition of Contract Execution Date as EEI suggests to require 
companies to report the original date the contract was executed, 
without regard to any subsequent revisions to the contract. For the 
purposes of the EQR Data Dictionary, the definition will read: ``The 
date the contract was signed. If the parties signed on different dates, 
use the most recent date signed.'' However, this change will not be 
incorporated at the cost of obscuring information that would alert EQR 
users that key terms in the contract have been revised. Thus, the 
Commission will revise the definition of Contract Commencement Date as 
described below.

B. Field No. 22--Contract Commencement Date

    11. In order to alert EQR users that a contract has been revised, 
the Commission will revise the definition of Contract Commencement Date 
to refer to the date that service commenced under the current terms and 
conditions of the contract. The Commission will further clarify that 
the terms deemed relevant for determining or changing the Contract 
Commencement Date are those that are reported in the Contract Data 
section of the EQR.\6\ Any amendment

[[Page 1878]]

that would cause a change in these required data elements would require 
a change in the Contract Commencement Date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In developing the EQR, the Commission identified a number of 
key terms associated with the products and services offered under 
any given jurisdictional contract. These terms include: Class Name, 
Term Name, Increment Name, Increment Peaking Name, Increment Peaking 
Name, Product Type Name, Product Name, Rate (actual, maximum, 
minimum or description), and Time Zone. The Commission requires that 
Class Name, Term Name, Increment Name, Increment Peaking Name, 
Product Type Name, Product Name, and Time Zone be reported in the 
EQR for every product offered under every jurisdictional contract. 
Additionally, the Commission requires a definition of the rate for 
every product either as a Rate, a Rate Minimum, a Rate Maximum or a 
Rate Description. Finally, the Commission requires that companies 
report, when specified in the contract for a given product, 
Quantity, Units, Rate Units, Point of Receipt Control Area, Point of 
Receipt Specific Location, Point of Delivery Control Area, Point of 
Delivery Specific Location, Begin Date, and End Date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    12. The Commission recognizes EEI's concern regarding potential 
inconsistency between the EQR and eTariff in identifying an original 
execution date. However, there is a very real public interest in 
identifying when key terms of the contract were determined. As market 
conditions change over time, it is imperative to be able to sort the 
deals that occurred years ago from those that were confirmed more 
recently. To better understand the market conditions at the time a 
contract was put in place, it is necessary to document the date that 
key terms were established.
    13. The Commission will define Contract Commencement Date as ``The 
date the terms of the contract reported in the EQR were effective. If 
the terms reported in the Contract Data section of the EQR became 
effective or if service under those terms began on multiple dates 
(i.e.: due to an amendment), the date to be reported as the 
Commencement Date is the date when service began pursuant to the most 
recent amendment to the terms reported in the Contract Data section of 
the EQR.'' In this way, the Commission and the public will continue to 
be able to determine when the contract terms reported in the EQR were 
determined.

C. Field Nos. 28 and 60--Increment Name

    14. In the EQR Notice,\7\ the Commission proposed to revise Field 
Nos. 28 and 60 to, among other matters, create an Increment Name 
covering ``Seasonal'' sales to characterize power sales made for longer 
than one month, but less than a year.\8\ This proposal was opposed in 
comments filed by EEI, Reliant and Occidental. In Order No. 2001-G, the 
Commission agreed with the commenters that the term ``S--Seasonal'' 
should not be included in the options available for the Increment Name 
fields. However, in the issued Order No. 2001-G, when the term 
``Seasonal'' was dropped from the Data Dictionary, the interval to be 
included in ``Monthly'' should have been adjusted in the attached Data 
Dictionary, so there would be no gap between ``Monthly'' and 
``Annual.'' Unfortunately, this correction was inadvertently omitted.

    \8\ EQR Notice at P. 18.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    15. On December 4, 2007, TransAlta filed comments alerting the 
Commission to this problem.
Commission Conclusion
    16. We will take this opportunity to correct the inadvertent error 
in Order No. 2001-G involving Increment Name, so that filers can 
accurately report their sales covering a period of more than 168 
consecutive hours up to one year as M-Monthly (>168 consecutive hours 
and <  1 year).

D. Field No. 37--Rate Description

    17. The EQR Notice proposed defining Rate Description as a ``[t]ext 
description of rate. May reference FERC tariff, or, if a discounted or 
negotiated rate, include algorithm.'' EEI filed comments in response to 
the EQR Notice requesting that filers be allowed to enter the tariff 
location into the Rate Description field in lieu of a detailed 
description of the rate itself. EEI supported this request by citing 
the difficulty of putting complex rates into the 150 character field. 
In Order No. 2001-G, the Commission stated that the EQR fulfills the 
Commission's statutory obligation under the Federal Power Act (FPA) to 
have companies' rates on file. We further stated that the Commission 
relies on the EQR to satisfy the FPA requirement that rates provided in 
a contract be publicly disclosed and on file. Thus, we concluded that 
it is imperative that the information reported in EQRs provide an 
adequate level of detail and transparency.
    18. The Commission also stated in Order No. 2001-G that a tariff 
reference alone, instead of the actual rate description, does not meet 
the FPA standard. Allowing filers to substitute a tariff reference in 
place of an actual rate description would force EQR users seeking this 
information to conduct further research to track down the contents of 
the tariff on file. This is clearly less transparent than a rate 
description that actually describes the rate. We also explained that, 
if the tariff reference is coupled with a descriptive summary of the 
rate, where the rate is the function of a complex algorithm, the 
standard is met. Further, we explained that rate information will 
continue to be available to the public at a level sufficient to explain 
the bases and methods of calculation with additional detail available 
upon request to interested persons.
    19. On rehearing, EEI argues that, in the case of cost-based rates, 
the FPA requirement that rates be on file is satisfied by separate on-
the-record Commission filings, so it is not necessary to provide a rate 
description in the EQR to satisfy the FPA. Thus, it argues, a reference 
to the rate schedule number and page is sufficient for EQR purposes, 
without any text description of the rate.
Commission Conclusion
    20. Prior to the adoption of Order No. 2001, public utilities 
satisfied the FPA requirement to have their rates on file with the 
Commission without filing EQRs (which had not yet been established). 
Thus, EEI is correct that the EQR filings are not the sole means by 
which this legal requirement can be met. However, section 205(c) 
provides the Commission with wide discretion on how companies are to 
file their rates and, in Order No. 2001, the Commission established the 
EQR as a means to ensure compliance with the FPA, and to provide a 
mechanism for the public to inspect and review the pertinent terms and 
conditions of public utilities' contracts and transactions in an 
electronic format that afforded greater transparency and accessibility 
to this information.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See, for example, Order No. 2001 at P. 95.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    21. When this issue first was considered in Order No. 2001-G, it 
centered on the question of whether 150 characters would be sufficient 
to provide all the information needed to accurately describe a public 
utility's rates. After consideration of EEI's arguments and the problem 
of fitting an accurate rate description into 150 characters without 
sacrificing transparency, we are persuaded to revise the definition for 
Rate Description to include a provision that relates to a rate that is 
currently on file with the Commission. The Commission will define Rate 
Description as ``[t]ext description of rate. If the rate is currently 
available on the FERC Web site, a citation of the FERC Accession Number 
and the relevant FERC tariff including page number or section may be 
included instead of providing the entire rate algorithm. If the rate is 
not available on the FERC Web site, include the rate algorithm, if rate 
is calculated.

[[Page 1879]]

If the algorithm would exceed the 150 character field limit, it may be 
provided in a descriptive summary (including bases and methods of 
calculations) with a detailed citation of the relevant FERC tariff 
including page number and section. If more than 150 characters are 
required, the contract product may be repeated in subsequent lines of 
data until the rate is adequately described.'' With this revision of 
Rate Description, EQR filers may provide the necessary information 
without sacrificing transparency.
