    On January 20, 2012, the Commission issued an order announcing its 
intent to revoke the market-based rate authority of the public 
utilities listed in the caption of that order, which had failed to file 
baseline tariffs.\1\ The Commission provided the utilities 60 days in 
which to file their baseline tariffs in accordance with Order No. 714 
\2\ or face revocation of their market-based rate authority.

Order).

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

    In Order No. 714, the Commission explained that in order for the 
Commission and the public to obtain a complete picture of a company's 
tariff, the various provisions need to be integrated into a single 
system that will provide information as to the status of tariff 
provisions, permit the assembly of a complete tariff, and permit 
tariff-related research.\3\ Further, the Commission explained that the 
standards being adopted in Order No. 714 merely replace the former 
paper system database with a very similar electronic database that will 
track tariff submissions and tariff history, but in a form that will 
make tariff information more widely available over the Internet. The 
Commission stated that ``the database will provide easier access to 
tariffs and allow the viewing of proposed tariff sections in context.'' 
\4\ To implement such a database, the Commission required each 
regulated entity to make a filing to establish its baseline tariffs and 
``because eTariff is a database system with no existing records, the 
baseline tariff needs to reflect the tariff as accepted by the 
Commission.'' \5\ In Electronic Tariff Filings, the Commission 
clarified that companies had until September 30, 2010 to submit their 
baseline filings.\6\

    In the January 20 Order, the Commission directed the public 
utilities listed in the caption of that order to file the required 
baseline tariffs within 60 days of the date of issuance of the order or 
face revocation of their authority to sell power at market-based rates 
and termination of their electric market-based rate tariffs.\7\

    \7\ January 20 Order at Ordering Paragraph.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The time period for compliance with the January 20 Order has 
elapsed. The 35 companies identified above have failed to file their 
delinquent baseline tariffs.
    The Commission hereby revokes the market-based rate authority and 
terminates the electric market-based rate tariffs of the above-
captioned public utilities.

    Dated: April 13, 2012.

Secretary.
