Background

    The final regulations that are the subject of these corrections 
concern the filing of rate schedules, tariffs, and service agreements 
under the Federal Power Act.

Need for Correction

    In Order No. 714, the instructions for the amendatory language 
contained errors that resulted in the publication of incorrect language 
in the Federal Register for sections 35.1 and 35.17. In particular, the 
published regulations do not reflect that they are applicable to rate 
schedules, tariffs, and service agreements.

List of Subjects in 18 CFR Part 35

    Electric power rates, Electric utilities, Reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements, Electricity, Incorporation by reference.
