Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. RM01-8-009]

 
Revised Public Utility Filing Requirements for Electric Quarterly 
Reports

Issued March 3, 2008.
AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice Seeking Comments on Proposed Revisions to Electric 
Quarterly Report (EQR) Data Dictionary.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this notice, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(Commission) proposes to revise the EQR Data Dictionary to clarify the 
requirement to report all ancillary service transactions, and invites 
comments on this proposal. This proposal is being made to reflect the 
Commission's decision in Order No. 697 that information about third 
party sales of ancillary services at market-based rates should be 
reported in EQR filings, rather than being reported on a separate 
OASIS-like Internet site. If adopted, this proposal will make reporting 
this information less burdensome and more accessible.

DATES: Comments on the proposal are due April 10, 2008.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments on the proposal, identified by 
Docket No. RM01-8-009, by one of the following methods:
     Agency Web Site: http://www.ferc.gov. Follow the 
instructions for submitting comments via the eFiling link found in the 
Comment Procedures Section of the preamble.
     Mail: Commenters unable to file comments electronically 
must mail or hand deliver an original and 14 copies of their comments 
to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Secretary of the 
Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Please refer 
to the Comment Procedures Section of the preamble for additional 
information on how to file paper comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
Before Commissioners: Joseph T. Kelliher, Chairman; Suedeen G. Kelly, 
Marc Spitzer, Philip D. Moeller, and Jon Wellinghoff.

    1. The Commission is proposing to revise the Electric Quarterly 
Report (EQR) Data Dictionary to clarify the requirement to report all 
ancillary service transactions and invites comment on this proposal.
    2. This proposal is being made to reflect the Commission's decision 
in Order No. 697 that information about third party sales of ancillary 
services at market-based rates should be reported in EQR filings, 
rather than being reported on a separate OASIS-like Internet site. If 
adopted, this proposal will make reporting this information less 
burdensome and more accessible.

Background

    3. On April 25, 2002, the Commission issued Order No. 2001, a Final 
Rule establishing revised public utility filing requirements.\1\ 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\2\ 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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    4. 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 Web site. This obviates the 
need to revise 18 CFR 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.
    5. On September 24, 2007, the Commission issued Order No. 2001-G, 
adopting an EQR Data Dictionary that 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 Web site) and providing formal definitions 
for fields that were previously undefined. On December 20, 2007, the 
Commission issued Order No. 2001-H, which addressed a pending request 
for rehearing and clarifying the information to be reported in several 
EQR data fields.
    6. On June 21, 2007, the Commission issued Order No. 697,\3\ a 
Final Rule that codified and, in certain respects, revised the 
Commission's standards for market-based rates for sales of electric 
energy, capacity, and ancillary services. The rule retained several of 
the core elements of the Commission's existing standards for granting 
market-based rates and revised them in certain respects. The rule also 
adopted a number of reforms to streamline the administration of the 
market-based rate program. Among other issues addressed in Order No. 
697, the Commission addressed the posting and reporting requirements 
for third-party sellers of ancillary services at market-based rates.

    \3\ Market-Based Rates for Wholesale Sales of Electric Energy, 
Capacity and Ancillary Services by Public Utilities, Order No. 697, 
72 FR 39904 (July 20, 2007), FERC Stats. & Regs. ]31,252 (June 21, 
2007), clarifying order, 122 FERC ]61,260 (2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    7. This matter had previously been addressed in Avista Corporation, 
87 FERC ]61,223, order on reh'g, 89 FERC ]61,136 (1999) (Avista), among 
other cases. Prior to the issuance of Order No. 697, Avista provided a 
general policy stating that third-party ancillary service providers 
that could not perform a market power study would be allowed to sell 
ancillary services at market-based rates, but only in conjunction with 
a requirement that such third parties establish an Internet-based, 
OASIS-like site for providing information about and transacting 
ancillary services. The authorization in Avista extended only to the 
following four ancillary services: Regulation Service, Energy Imbalance

[[Page 12984]]

Service, Spinning Reserves, and Supplemental Reserves.
    8. In Order No. 697, the Commission determined that it would modify 
its prior approach to the posting and reporting requirements for third-
party sellers of ancillary services at market-based rates as announced 
in Avista. Specifically, the Commission agreed with comments arguing 
that the costs and responsibilities associated with establishing and 
maintaining an Internet-based site may outweigh the benefits that 
third-party sellers could derive from the sale of the additional 
products.
    9. The Commission concluded that the Commission's EQR filing 
requirement provides an adequate means to monitor ancillary services 
sales by third parties such that the posting and reporting requirements 
established in Avista are no longer necessary.\4\ The Commission noted 
that, through their EQR filings, third-party providers of ancillary 
services provide information regarding their ancillary services 
transactions for each quarter, including the ancillary service or 
services provided, the price, and the purchaser. As a result, the 
Commission determined that it would no longer require third-party 
providers of ancillary services to establish and maintain an Internet-
based OASIS-like site for providing information about their ancillary 
services transactions.\5\

    10. Additionally, in Order No. 890, the Commission adopted a new 
Schedule 9 for the treatment of generator imbalances.\6\ In Order No. 
2001-E, the Commission demonstrated its intention to match the 
ancillary service products included in the pro forma open access 
transmission tariff (OATT) by defining ancillary Product Names as they 
were defined in the OATT.\7\

reh'g, Order No. 890-A, 73 FR 2984 (Jan. 16, 2008), FERC Stats. and 
Regs. ]31,261 (2007).
    \7\ The Order No. 888 OATT ancillary services were Scheduling, 
System Control And Dispatch (Schedule 1), Reactive Supply And 
Voltage Control (Schedule 2), Regulation And Frequency Response 
(Schedule 3), Energy Imbalance (Schedule 4), Operating Reserve--
Spinning--or Spinning Reserve--(Schedule 5), Operating Reserve--
Supplemental--or Supplemental Reserve--(Schedule 6). These same 
services are now offered under the Order No. 890 pro forma OATT.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Discussion

    11. The Commission's revised requirements for the posting and 
reporting requirements for third-party sellers of ancillary services at 
market-based rates in Order No. 697 depend on sellers reporting, in the 
EQRs, information previously required by Avista to be reported and 
posted on an OASIS-like Internet site. Therefore, in order to clarify 
the reporting requirements and to accommodate the reporting of 
ancillary service transactions, we propose to revise the Product Name 
definitions of the relevant ancillary services in Appendix A of the EQR 
Data Dictionary. The phrase ``Reported for power sales and 
transmission-related transactions'' will be added to the definitions 
for the four Product Names identified in Avista--Energy Imbalance, 
Regulation & Frequency Response, Spinning Reserve, Supplemental 
Reserve--to clarify that sales of these services must be reported both 
in the Contract and Transaction sections of the EQR. We invite comments 
on these proposed changes.
    12. The Commission also proposes to add the Product Name 
``Generator Imbalance'' to Appendix A of the EQR Data Dictionary to 
maintain consistency with the revised pro forma OATT.\8\ At this time, 
we are not proposing to add Product Names for ancillary services not 
explicitly identified in Order No. 890. We invite comments on whether 
there are other ancillary services beyond those identified in Order No. 
890 that should be identified explicitly in the EQR.\9\ While the 
Commission does not intend to add defined Product Names for every kind 
of ancillary service offered by every company, there may be value to 
the public in identifying common or important offerings as such, rather 
than as the catchall ``OTHER'' in future EQRs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Order No. 890, pro forma OATT at Schedule 9, provides that 
``Generator Imbalance Service is provided when a difference occurs 
between the output of a generator located in the Transmission 
Provider's Control Area and a delivery schedule from that generator 
to (1) another Control Area or (2) a load within the Transmission 
Provider's Control Area over a single hour.'' Schedule 9 also 
prescribes how the charges for this service are to be developed.
    \9\ For example, the Commission found that Dynamic Capacity and 
Energy Service as described in Avista is an ancillary service 
governed by Avista's ancillary service tariff. See Avista, 89 FERC 
]61,136 at 61,392.
