DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
[Docket No. RM04–9–000]
Electronic Notification of Commission
Issuances; Notice of New Service List
Download Options
December 6, 2005.
Take notice that on December 6, 2005,
the Commission released a new version
of its Web Service List system. The new
version allows users to download the
postal addresses only for those persons
who do not have an e-mail address on
the service list. Previously, the only
option for postal addresses was to
download the postal addresses for all
contacts, including those who could be
served by e-mail.
The three download options are:
1. E-mail: Downloads the e-mail
addresses for all contacts on the service
list that are linked to an eRegistration
account. The addresses are placed in a
text file with a semicolon delimiter. It
may be necessary to change the
delimiter if your e-mail product requires
a different delimiter. Once the delimiter
is correct, you can copy/paste the
addresses into an e-mail address field.
Please note that pasting numerous
addresses in a single e-mail may trigger
some spam-prevention programs.
2. Postal contacts without e-mail:
Downloads the postal addresses only for
those contacts that are not linked to an
eRegistration account for the applicable
service list. The download format
options are the same as before:
Delimited with a semicolon, comma,
space, tab, or tilde; fixed length; Excel;
Database file (dbf); or XML format.
Options 1 and 2 together account for all
contacts on the service list.
3. All contacts: Downloads the postal
addresses for all contacts, whether they
are linked to an eRegistration account or
not, with the same format options as
above. Option 3 also accounts for all
contacts on the service list.
The record format for the postal
address download options is identical to
the previous version. However, if you
use the ‘‘Postal contacts without e-mail’’
option, the downloaded file will contain
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:51 Dec 09, 2005
Jkt 208001
blank entries in any record where one
or both of the contacts had an e-mail
address. This means that some users
may need to revise a macro or other
program used to generate mail labels to
account for the blank entries.
The Commission encourages any
party intervening in Commission
proceedings to efile the motion to
intervene and to ensure that all contacts
for the party and for a law firm that may
represent the party have validated
eRegistration accounts. The eFiling
system allows persons filing a motion to
intervene to specify all of the parties to
the motion, all legal representatives of
the party or parties, and any other
contacts for the parties that should be
served.
Contacts for entities filing
applications, petitions, or requests with
the Commission should also have
validated eRegistration accounts even if
the application, petition, or request
itself cannot be submitted to the
Commission electronically. This will
enable the Commission’s Registry staff
to select the eRegistration account for
each contact so that the contact’s e-mail
address will appear on the service list.
All persons with eRegistration
accounts should maintain those
accounts to reflect current address and
other information. If an account holder’s
e-mail address changes, and the account
holder wants to preserve links to
existing service lists and eSubscriptions,
that person should edit the e-mail
address in the existing account instead
of creating a new account. Persons
should create new accounts only when,
as a result of a move to another
company or firm, there is no need to
preserve links to service lists and
eSubscriptions linked to the previous
account.
For additional guidance on using
FERC Online for eRegistration, eFiling,
and eService, refer to the FERC Online
Reference Guide at https://www.ferc.gov/

Final Approval Under OMB Delegated
Authority of the Extension for Three
Years, With Minor Revision, of the
Following Reports
1. Report title: Survey of Terms of
Lending.
Agency form number: FR 2028A, FR
2028B, and FR 2028S.
OMB control number: 7100–0061.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Reporters: Commercial banks; and
U.S. branches and agencies of foreign
banks (FR 2028A and FR 2028S only).
Annual reporting hours: 7,317 hours.
Estimated average hours per response:
FR 2028A, 3.7 hours; FR 2028B, 1.2
hours; and FR 2028S, 0.1 hours.
Number of respondents: FR 2028A,
398; FR 2028B, 250; and FR 2028S, 567.
General description of report: This
information collection is voluntary (12
U.S.C. 248(a)(2)) and is given
confidential treatment (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4)).
Abstract: The Survey of Terms of
Lending provides unique information
concerning both price and certain
nonprice terms of loans made to
businesses and farmers during the first
full business week of the mid-month of
each quarter (February, May, August,
and November). The survey comprises
three reporting forms: the FR 2028A,
Survey of Terms of Business Lending;
the FR 2028B, Survey of Terms of Bank
Lending to Farmers; and the FR 2028S,
Prime Rate Supplement to the Survey of
Terms of Lending. The FR 2028A and B
collect detailed data on individual loans
made during the survey week, and the
FR 2028S collects the prime interest rate
for each day of the survey from both FR
2028A and FR 2028B respondents. From
these sample data, estimates of the
terms of business loans and farm loans
extended during the reporting week are
constructed. The estimates for business
loans are published in the quarterly E.2
release, Survey of Terms of Business
Lending, while estimates for farm loans
are published in the quarterly E.15
release, Agricultural Finance Databook.
Current Actions: On September 29,
2005, the Federal Reserve published a
notice soliciting comments on proposed
revisions to the Survey of Terms of
Lending (70 FR 56897). The comment
period ended on November 28, 2005.
The notice described the Federal
Reserve’s proposal to revise the FR
2028A and FR 2028B by increasing to
$3,000 the minimum size of loans
reported. No changes were proposed to
the FR 2028S. The Federal Reserve did
not receive any comments on the
proposed revisions. The revisions will
VerDate Aug<31>2005

be effective for the May 2006 survey
week.
2. Report title: Report of Terms of
Credit Card Plans.
Agency form number: FR 2572.
OMB control number: 7100–0239.
Frequency: Semi-annual.
Reporters: Commercial banks, savings
banks, industrial banks, and savings and
loans associations.
Annual reporting hours: 75 hours.
Estimated average hours per response:
0.25 hours.
Number of respondents: 150.
General description of report: This
information collection is voluntary (15
U.S.C. § 1646(b)) and is not given
confidential treatment.
Abstract: This report collects data on
credit card pricing and availability from
a sample of at least 150 financial
institutions that offer credit cards to the
general public. The information is
reported to the Congress and made
available to the public in order to
promote competition within the
industry.
Current Actions: On September 29,
2005, the Federal Reserve published a
notice soliciting comments on the
proposed revisions to the Report of
Terms of Credit Card Plans (70 FR
56897). The comment period ended on
November 28, 2005. The Federal
Reserve did not receive any comments.
The changes will be implemented as
proposed. The Federal Reserve will
clarify the FR 2572 reporting form and
instructions with regard to items 56
through 58, in which the fee amounts
for cash advances, late payments, and
exceeding the credit limit are reported.
Clarification is needed to ensure that
only one of two mutually exclusive
responses is reported. Responses must
diverge according to whether the
particular fee is uniform or variable over
the card plan’s geographic area of
availability.
Abstract: This voluntary survey
collected information on the volume of
electric power delivered during the
month to classes of industrial
customers. There were three versions of
the survey: the FR 2009a and FR 2009c
collected information from electric
utilities, the FR 2009a in Standard
Industrial Codes and the FR 2009c in
North American Industry Classification
System codes. The FR 2009b collected
information from manufacturing and
mining facilities that generate electric
power for their own use. The electric
power data were used in deriving the
Federal Reserve’s monthly index of
industrial production as well as for
calculating the monthly estimates of
electric power used by industry.
Current Actions: On September 29,
2005, the Federal Reserve published a
notice soliciting comments on the
proposed revisions to the Monthly
Survey of Industrial Electricity Use (70
FR 56897). The comment period ended
on November 28, 2005. The Federal
Reserve did not receive any comments.
This information collection has been
discontinued. The reliability of the FR
2009 data has decreased in recent years
due to industry consolidation that
resulted from the deregulation of the
electricity markets. Since 1997 the panel
size has decreased by about 30 percent
and the coverage of the panel in terms
of the amount of electric power used by
industry has also fallen about 30
percent. Consequently, the electric
power data have become unacceptably
volatile and have required a significant
increase in resources to continue the use
of these data in the construction of
industrial production.
