The Commission is proposing to adopt an Electric Quarterly Report (EQR) Data Dictionary that will define the terms and values used in filing EQR data.1 In this notice, the Commission attaches a draft EQR Data Dictionary and invites comment on whether this document should be adopted or modified. Background 2. On April 25, 2002, the Commission issued Order No. 2001, a final rule establishing revised public utility filing requirements.2 This rule revised the Commission’s filing requirements to require companies subject to the Commission’s regulation under section 205 of the Federal Power Act (public utilities) 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 1 We are also proposing to change three field names to reflect terminology adopted by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) in 2005. We are not proposing any other changes to field names. All other proposed changes are to the definitions of terms and values used for EQR filings. 2 Revised Public Utility Filing Requirements, Order No. 2001, 67 FR 31043, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,127, reh’g denied, Order No. 2001–A, 100 FERC ¶ 61,074, reconsideration and clarification denied, Order No. 2001–B, 100 FERC ¶ 61,342, order directing filings, Order No. 2001–C, 101 FERC ¶ 61,314 (2002).

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. For example, in a pair of orders issued on May 31 and October 21, 2002, the Commission provided guidance describing how EQR filers were to complete several data fields in the EQR software.3 4. Likewise, on December 23, 2003, the Commission issued Order No. 2001–E, to resolve some recurring issues faced by EQR filers, to help filers better understand the requirements of Order No. 2001, and to improve the quality and consistency of EQR data.4 To this end, the Commission: (1) Ordered standard formats to be used for certain location fields; (2) established an EQR Refiling Policy; and (3) streamlined and defined allowable data entries in certain data fields. The Commission instructed Staff to issue filing guidance to address these changes.5 This guidance was posted on the EQR page of the Commission’s website on March 25, 2004.6 Commission Staff posted additional guidance on the Internet at the https://www.ferc.gov Web site, and several EQR Users Group meetings have been held to address the questions of EQR filers. 5. After Order No. 2001–E, the Commission recognized that rapid change in the electric industry may require flexibility in adding or changing the entries allowed in restricted fields in the EQR. NERC, for example, frequently adds and deletes balancing authorities (previously ‘‘control areas’’) from its Transmission System Information Network rolls. In an order issued on March 25, 2004, the Commission directed Staff to alert EQR users of any 3 Revised Public Utility Filing Requirements, 99 FERC ¶ 61,238 (2002); Revised Public Utility Filing Requirements, 67 FR 65973 (Oct. 29, 2002), FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 35,045 (Oct. 21, 2005). 4 Revised Public Utility Filing Requirements, Order No. 2001-E, 105 FERC ¶ 61,352 (2003). 5 Id. at P 8. 6 Posted at https://www.ferc.fed.us/docs-filing/eqr/ com-order.asp.

Since 2004, the Commission has performed outreach to the industry to determine which current EQR definitions are sufficient and understandable and which should be revised. As relevant here, on November 8, 2006, the Commission issued a public notice announcing that Staff was convening a meeting of the EQR Users Group to discuss a Staff draft EQR Data Dictionary.8 In preparation for that meeting, Staff compiled existing definitions contained in previous orders and Commission issuances.9 In addition, Staff suggested revisions and refinements to these definitions based on more than four years of experience reviewing EQR filings, responding to questions from EQR filers, and discussions with the EQR Users Group. Many of the revisions and refinements were intended to codify Staff guidance provided over the years to clarify companies’ EQR filing obligations. Staff made its draft EQR Data Dictionary available to interested persons before the meeting.10 7. Almost 200 people registered to attend the November 29, 2006, meeting (either in person or via teleconference) and many who attended participated in the discussion of the issues. Participants were invited to file comments on the Staff draft EQR Data Dictionary by January 12, 2007. Occidental Power Services, Inc., Southern California Edison Company, and Edison Electric Institute (EEI) filed written comments. Discussion 8. To improve the quality of EQR filings, the Commission has determined that it would be appropriate to issue formal definitions for those fields that are currently undefined. A common, documented basis for the definition of the terms and values in the EQR will provide the Commission with more reliable and understandable information related to the contracts and transactions reported. Further, a common EQR language will create greater regulatory 7 Revised Public Utility Filing Requirements, 106 FERC ¶ 61,281 (2004). 8 Revised Public Utility Filing Requirements for Electric Quarterly Reports, Notice of Electric Quarterly Reports User’s Group Meeting, Nov. 8, 2006. 9 See Staff Draft of the EQR Data Dictionary, posted on the EQR Users Group and Workshops page on FERC.gov at https://www.ferc.gov/docsfiling/eqr/groups-workshops.asp. 10 Revised Public Utility Filing Requirements for Electric Quarterly Reports, Notice of Electric Quarterly Reports User’s Group Meeting, 71 FR 69111 (Nov. 29, 2006).

The proposed EQR Data Dictionary compiles all the terms used in the EQR, as they have evolved since the issuance of Order No. 2001, into an organized reference for filers and public use. Specifically, the proposed EQR Data Dictionary (Attachment A) provides the terms and values used to file the EQR. It includes terms that were not previously defined except through Staff guidance. In general, the definitions and descriptions are consistent with those provided since the issuance of Order No. 2001. The underlying structure of the EQR will remain unchanged. 10. The text of this notice and Attachment B point out the instances where the proposed definitions vary from those used in prior Commission orders. Attachment B is provided on an informational basis only, to aid commenters in identifying revisions. Comments should only be addressed to the proposed EQR Data Dictionary in Attachment A. 11. The proposed EQR Data Dictionary revises the definitions provided in previous Commission orders for the following terms: • ID Data: Company Name— Respondent (Field Number 2); Company Name—Seller (Field Number 2); Company Name—Agent (Field Number 2); Company DUNS Number— Respondent (Field Number 3); Company DUNS Number—Seller (Field Number 3); Company DUNS Number—Agent (Field Number 3); Contact Country Name (Field Number 10); and Filing Quarter (Field Number 13). • Contract Data: Seller Company Name (Field Number 15); Customer Company Name (Field Number 16); Customer DUNS Number (Field Number 17); Contract Affiliate (Field Number 18); FERC Tariff Reference (Field Number 19); Contract Service Agreement ID (Field Number 20); Contract Execution Date (Field Number 21); Contract Commencement Date (Field Number 22); Contract Termination Date (Field Number 23); Extension Provision Description (Field Number 25); Term Name (Field Number 27); Product Name (Field Number 31); Quantity (Field Number 32); Units (Field Number 33); Rate (Field Number 34); Rate Units (Field Number 38); Point of Receipt Balancing Authority (Field Number 39); Point of Receipt Specific Location (Field Number 40); Point of Delivery Balancing Authority (Field Number 41); Point of Delivery Specific Location (Field Number 42); Begin Date (Field Number 43); and End Date (Field Number 44).

The proposed EQR Data Dictionary also adds definitions for terms not previously defined by Commission order, including: • ID Data: Filer Unique Identifier (Field Number 1). • Contract Data: Contract Unique ID (Field Number 14); Class Name (Field Number 26); Increment Name (Field Number 28); Increment Peaking Name (Field Number 29); Product Type Name (Field Number 30); and Time Zone (Field Number 45). • Transaction Data: Transaction Unique ID (Field Number 46); Time Zone (Field Number 55); Class Name (Field Number 58); Increment Name (Field Number 60); and Increment Peaking Name (Field Number 61). 13. The proposed EQR Data Dictionary makes the following key revisions to the existing EQR definitions: • The definitions of the identifiers used at the beginning of each record in the comma-delimited import files (Field Numbers 1, 14 and 60) have been expanded to clarify their function. • The definitions of the ID Data fields have been expanded to link each of the fields to the appropriate filer identified in Field Numbers 1 and 2. • The definition of ‘‘FERC Tariff Reference’’ reported in the Contract Data (Field Number 19) and Transaction Data (Field Number 50) permits references other than the filing company’s own FERC tariff where sales occur under Commission-approved, cost-based rate schedules for certain power pools. • The definition of ‘‘Contract Service Agreement ID’’ reported in the Contract Data (Field Number 20) and in the Transaction Data (Field Number 51) allows an ‘‘internal identification system’’ as opposed to a ‘‘numbering’’ system to allow for the inclusion of nonnumeric characters in the identifiers. • The definitions of ‘‘Class Name, FFirm’’ and ‘‘Class Name, NF-Non-Firm’’ VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:36 May 07, 2007 Jkt 211001 reported in the Contract Data (Field Number 26) and the Transaction Data (Field Number 58) provide two definitions, to differentiate between firm transmission service and firm power sales.11 • The definitions of the allowable entries for ‘‘Term Name’’ reported in the Contract Data (Field Number 27) and in the Transaction Data (Field Number 59) are being expanded. While EQR filers have indicated a preference that the definitions for power sales and transmission be differentiated, the Commission is striving to create consistency for uses of ‘‘long term’’ and ‘‘short term,’’ across its programs.12 Therefore, we propose to define ‘‘Term Name’’ in the same way for both power and transmission sales. • The definitions of ‘‘Increment Peaking Name, OP-Off-Peak’’ and ‘‘Increment Peaking Name, P-Peak’’ reported in the Contract Data (Field Number 29) and the Transaction Data (Field Number 61) specify that the ‘‘relevant NERC region’’ was the ‘‘NERC region of the point of delivery.’’ • The definition of ‘‘Increment Peaking Name, N/A-Not Applicable’’ in the Contract Data (Field Number 29) indicates that ‘‘N/A’’ is an acceptable entry if the contract does not specify the increment peaking period for the sale. The definition of ‘‘Increment Peaking Name, N/A-Not Applicable’’ in the Transaction Data (Field Number 61) indicates that ‘‘N/A’’ is an acceptable entry only when other available increment peaking names do not apply. ‘‘N/A’’ will not be acceptable for products such as ‘‘Energy,’’ ‘‘Booked Out Power,’’ ‘‘Capacity,’’ or ‘‘Ancillary Services.’’ • The definitions of ‘‘Product Type Name, CB-Cost-Based’’ and ‘‘Product Type Name, MB-Market-Based’’ reported in the Contract Data (Field Number 30) specify ‘‘energy or capacity sold’’ under the seller’s FERC-approved 11 These definitions are intended to be consistent with NERC and the pro forma Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) definitions and Commission precedent. See, e.g., Preventing Undue Discrimination and Preference in Transmission Service, Order No. 890, 72 FR 12266 (Mar. 15, 2007), FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,241 at P 1452–55, P 1539 and P 1688–92 (Feb. 16, 2007) (Order No. 890). However, as explained below, infra P 21, these definitions only govern the manner in which these items are reported in the EQR. 12 See Market-Based Rates for Wholesale Sales of Electric Energy, Capacity and Ancillary Services by Public Utilities, notice of proposed rulemaking, 71 FR 33102 (Jun. 7, 2006), FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 32,602 at P 137 (May 19, 2006). Also, the Commission is aware of inconsistencies in these definitions with the FERC Form 1 and is in the process of reviewing comments in Assessments of Information Requirements for FERC Financial Forms, notice of inquiry, 72 FR 8316 (Feb. 15, 2007).

This change allows filers to differentiate these product types from ‘‘Product Type Name, T-Transmission,’’ which applies to cost-based or marketbased transmission-related services. • The definition of ‘‘Product Type Name, S-Service’’ in the Contract Data (Field Number 30) has been deleted to remove ambiguity regarding the types of products that must be reported. • The name and definition of ‘‘Point of Receipt Control Area’’ reported in the Contract Data (Field Number 39) has been revised to ‘‘Point of Receipt Balancing Authority’’ in response to changes in terminology implemented by NERC beginning April 1, 2005. • The name and definition of ‘‘Point of Delivery Control Area’’ reported in the Contract Data (Field Number 41) and in the Transaction Data (Field Number 56) has been revised to ‘‘Point of Delivery Balancing Authority’’ in response to changes in terminology implemented by NERC beginning April 1, 2005. • The continued requirement to fill certain Contract Data fields—Contract Termination Date (Field Number 23); Quantity (Field Number 32); Units (Field Number 33); Rate Units (Field Number 38); Point of Receipt Balancing Authority (PORBA) (Field Number 39); Point of Receipt Specific Location (PORSL) (Field Number 40); Point of Delivery Balancing Authority (PODBA) (Field Number 41); Point of Delivery Specific Location (PODSL) (Field Number 42); Begin Date (Field Number 43) and End Date (Field Number 44)— has been clarified to be contractspecific. The EQR may still be filed if these fields are left empty, but the public utility has the obligation to complete the fields if the relevant terms are included in the contract.13 • The ‘‘Product Name’’ (Attachment A, Appendix A) in the Contract Data (Field Number 31), ‘‘Capacity Reassignment,’’ has been added to address a new EQR reporting requirement required by Order No. 890.14 • The ‘‘Product Names’’ (Attachment A, Appendix A) in the Contract Data (Field Number 31), ‘‘Regulation & Frequency Response,’’ ‘‘Spinning Reserve,’’ and ‘‘Supplemental Reserve’’ have been modified to address changes in the OATT in Order No. 890. • The ‘‘Product Name’’ (Attachment A, Appendix A) in the Contract Data 13 As pointed out above, supra note 1, to be consistent with NERC terminology, the proposed Data Dictionary uses the field name ‘‘PORBA’’ (previously ‘‘PORCA’’ and ‘‘PODBA’’ (previously ‘‘PODCA’’). 14 See Order No. 890, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,241 at note 499. E:\FR\FM\08MYN1.SGM 08MYN1 cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES 26094 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 88 / Tuesday, May 8, 2007 / Notices (Field Number 31), ‘‘Exchange Agreement,’’ has been revised to ‘‘Exchange’’ and incorporated into the allowable product names in the Transaction Data (Field Number 62). This change will make it easier to identify sales under exchange agreements and adjust for their effects when reviewing product prices. • The ‘‘Product Name’’ (Attachment A, Appendix A) in the Contract Data (Field Number 31 and Field Number 62), ‘‘Transmission Owners Agreement,’’ has been revised to expand the definition beyond agreements with ISOs. 14. Two fields merit specific discussion. The Increment Name fields (Field Number 28 of the Contract Data and Field Number 60 of the Transaction Data) are intended to provide insight into the duration of the agreement under which a sale is being made. To compare sales in the EQR appropriately, we must be able to understand the duration of the underlying transaction that resulted in each sale. On a single day in a given market, prices for power under terms set at the beginning of a month may differ from hourly prices determined through an RTO or ISO in its real time market. The Increment Name fields provide a basis to understand price differentiation among otherwise similarly situated sales. 15. The proposed EQR Data Dictionary includes definitions of Increment Names that offer more clarity and allow the fields to be automatically calculated. These definitions lay out specific time periods for each of the restricted values. 16. Deals covering peak periods or offpeak periods (as identified in the Increment Peaking Name fields) are commonly characterized as daily, rather than as hourly transactions, even though they last less than 24 hours.15 For this reason, the proposed EQR Data Dictionary defines ‘‘D-Daily’’ transactions as those under deals that last over six and up to and including thirty-six hours to ensure that both peak and off-peak blocks for a single day are included. 17. Hourly deals, such as sales to ISOs, are characterized with terms shorter than the daily deals. Under the proposed EQR Data Dictionary deals of up to, and including, six hours would be reported as ‘‘H-Hourly.’’ 18. Transactions that cover blocks of hours over the course of a week (commonly identified in the industry by such terms as ‘‘5x16’’ or ‘‘2x24’’) are characterized as weekly transactions.16 Sales under deals of over 36 and up to and including 168 hours (seven days) are defined in the proposed EQR Data Dictionary as ‘‘W-Weekly’’ deals. Deals over a week (168 hours) and up to and including one month would be reported as ‘‘M-Monthly.’’ Deals of a year or more (including sales where precise terms are set in a long-term contract) will be reported as ‘‘Y-Yearly.’’ We also propose a new ‘‘S-Seasonal’’ value to be used to characterize power sales that are made for longer than one month but less than a year, such as sales for the duration of a peak season. 19. In the Contracts tab, the Increment Name field (Field Number 28) has descriptive value for those contracts that lay out the specific terms (price, quantity, and period) of the arrangement. Contracts that do not contain these specific terms should be described using ‘‘N/A.’’ 20. Also, in Order No. 890, the Commission addressed the issue of what constitutes a sufficient level of firmness to be eligible for designation as a network resource.17 We invite comments on whether the definitions of Class Names, ‘‘Firm’’ and ‘‘Non-Firm’’ (Field Numbers 26 and 58), need revision. 21. Subject to our review of any comments filed in response to this notice, the Commission plans to adopt the EQR Data Dictionary shown in Attachment A to this notice. We expect that these definitions would take effect the first day of the first new quarter after issuance of a Final Order. We caution that the definitions we are proposing in the EQR Data Dictionary are only intended to govern the manner in which these items are reported in the EQR and are not intended to be precedent in other contexts. 15 These deals would be reported in Field Number 29 of Contract Data and in Field Number 61 of Transaction Data. 16 ‘‘5x16’’ (5 days × 16 hours) refers to a peak hour weekly deal and ‘‘2 × 24’’ (2 days x 24 hours) refers to a weekend deal.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    1. The Commission is proposing to adopt an Electric Quarterly 
Report (EQR) Data Dictionary that will define the terms and values used 
in filing EQR data.\1\ In this notice, the Commission attaches a draft 
EQR Data Dictionary and invites comment on whether this document should 
be adopted or modified.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ We are also proposing to change three field names to reflect 
terminology adopted by the North American Electric Reliability 
Corporation (NERC) in 2005. We are not proposing any other changes 
to field names. All other proposed changes are to the definitions of 
terms and values used for EQR filings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    2. On April 25, 2002, the Commission issued Order No. 2001, a final 
rule establishing revised public utility filing requirements.\2\ This 
rule revised the Commission's filing requirements to require companies 
subject to the Commission's regulation under section 205 of the Federal 
Power Act (public utilities) 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

[[Page 26092]]

reports summarizing a utility's market-based rate transactions and 
sales agreements that conformed to the utility's tariff.

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

    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. For example, 
in a pair of orders issued on May 31 and October 21, 2002, the 
Commission provided guidance describing how EQR filers were to complete 
several data fields in the EQR software.\3\

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

    4. Likewise, on December 23, 2003, the Commission issued Order No. 
2001-E, to resolve some recurring issues faced by EQR filers, to help 
filers better understand the requirements of Order No. 2001, and to 
improve the quality and consistency of EQR data.\4\ To this end, the 
Commission: (1) Ordered standard formats to be used for certain 
location fields; (2) established an EQR Refiling Policy; and (3) 
streamlined and defined allowable data entries in certain data fields. 
The Commission instructed Staff to issue filing guidance to address 
these changes.\5\ This guidance was posted on the EQR page of the 
Commission's website on March 25, 2004.\6\ Commission Staff posted 
additional guidance on the Internet at the https://www.ferc.gov Web 
site, and several EQR Users Group meetings have been held to address 
the questions of EQR filers.

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

    5. After Order No. 2001-E, the Commission recognized that rapid 
change in the electric industry may require flexibility in adding or 
changing the entries allowed in restricted fields in the EQR. NERC, for 
example, frequently adds and deletes balancing authorities (previously 
``control areas'') from its Transmission System Information Network 
rolls. In an order issued on March 25, 2004, the Commission directed 
Staff to alert EQR users of any future changes to allowable entries for 
restricted fields by e-mail, and to post these changes on the EQR page 
of the Commission's Web site.\7\

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

    6. Since 2004, the Commission has performed outreach to the 
industry to determine which current EQR definitions are sufficient and 
understandable and which should be revised. As relevant here, on 
November 8, 2006, the Commission issued a public notice announcing that 
Staff was convening a meeting of the EQR Users Group to discuss a Staff 
draft EQR Data Dictionary.\8\ In preparation for that meeting, Staff 
compiled existing definitions contained in previous orders and 
Commission issuances.\9\ In addition, Staff suggested revisions and 
refinements to these definitions based on more than four years of 
experience reviewing EQR filings, responding to questions from EQR 
filers, and discussions with the EQR Users Group. Many of the revisions 
and refinements were intended to codify Staff guidance provided over 
the years to clarify companies' EQR filing obligations. Staff made its 
draft EQR Data Dictionary available to interested persons before the 
meeting.\10\

    7. Almost 200 people registered to attend the November 29, 2006, 
meeting (either in person or via teleconference) and many who attended 
participated in the discussion of the issues. Participants were invited 
to file comments on the Staff draft EQR Data Dictionary by January 12, 
2007. Occidental Power Services, Inc., Southern California Edison 
Company, and Edison Electric Institute (EEI) filed written comments.

Discussion

    8. To improve the quality of EQR filings, the Commission has 
determined that it would be appropriate to issue formal definitions for 
those fields that are currently undefined. A common, documented basis 
for the definition of the terms and values in the EQR will provide the 
Commission with more reliable and understandable information related to 
the contracts and transactions reported. Further, a common EQR language 
will create greater regulatory certainty for companies responsible for 
filing the EQR.
    9. The proposed EQR Data Dictionary compiles all the terms used in 
the EQR, as they have evolved since the issuance of Order No. 2001, 
into an organized reference for filers and public use. Specifically, 
the proposed EQR Data Dictionary (Attachment A) provides the terms and 
values used to file the EQR. It includes terms that were not previously 
defined except through Staff guidance. In general, the definitions and 
descriptions are consistent with those provided since the issuance of 
Order No. 2001. The underlying structure of the EQR will remain 
unchanged.
    10. The text of this notice and Attachment B point out the 
instances where the proposed definitions vary from those used in prior 
Commission orders. Attachment B is provided on an informational basis 
only, to aid commenters in identifying revisions. Comments should only 
be addressed to the proposed EQR Data Dictionary in Attachment A.
    11. The proposed EQR Data Dictionary revises the definitions 
provided in previous Commission orders for the following terms:
     ID Data: Company Name--Respondent (Field Number 2); 
Company Name--Seller (Field Number 2); Company Name--Agent (Field 
Number 2); Company DUNS Number--Respondent (Field Number 3); Company 
DUNS Number--Seller (Field Number 3); Company DUNS Number--Agent (Field 
Number 3); Contact Country Name (Field Number 10); and Filing Quarter 
(Field Number 13).
     Contract Data: Seller Company Name (Field Number 15); 
Customer Company Name (Field Number 16); Customer DUNS Number (Field 
Number 17); Contract Affiliate (Field Number 18); FERC Tariff Reference 
(Field Number 19); Contract Service Agreement ID (Field Number 20); 
Contract Execution Date (Field Number 21); Contract Commencement Date 
(Field Number 22); Contract Termination Date (Field Number 23); 
Extension Provision Description (Field Number 25); Term Name (Field 
Number 27); Product Name (Field Number 31); Quantity (Field Number 32); 
Units (Field Number 33); Rate (Field Number 34); Rate Units (Field 
Number 38); Point of Receipt Balancing Authority (Field Number 39); 
Point of Receipt Specific Location (Field Number 40); Point of Delivery 
Balancing Authority (Field Number 41); Point of Delivery Specific 
Location (Field Number 42); Begin Date (Field Number 43); and End Date 
(Field Number 44).

[[Page 26093]]

     Transaction Data: Seller Company Name (Field Number 47); 
Customer Company Name (Field Number 48); Customer DUNS Number (Field 
Number 49); FERC Tariff Reference (Field Number 50); Contract Service 
Agreement ID (Field Number 51); Transaction Begin Date (Field Number 
53); Transaction End Date (Field Number 54); Point of Delivery 
Balancing Authority (Field Number 56); Point of Delivery Specific 
Location (Field Number 57); Term Name (Field Number 59); Product Name 
(Field Number 62); Transaction Quantity (Field Number 62); Price (Field 
Number 64); Rate Units (Field Number 65); Total Transmission Charge 
(Field Number 66); and Total Transaction Charge (Field Number 67).
    12. The proposed EQR Data Dictionary also adds definitions for 
terms not previously defined by Commission order, including:
     ID Data: Filer Unique Identifier (Field Number 1).
     Contract Data: Contract Unique ID (Field Number 14); Class 
Name (Field Number 26); Increment Name (Field Number 28); Increment 
Peaking Name (Field Number 29); Product Type Name (Field Number 30); 
and Time Zone (Field Number 45).
     Transaction Data: Transaction Unique ID (Field Number 46); 
Time Zone (Field Number 55); Class Name (Field Number 58); Increment 
Name (Field Number 60); and Increment Peaking Name (Field Number 61).
    13. The proposed EQR Data Dictionary makes the following key 
revisions to the existing EQR definitions:
     The definitions of the identifiers used at the beginning 
of each record in the comma-delimited import files (Field Numbers 1, 14 
and 60) have been expanded to clarify their function.
     The definitions of the ID Data fields have been expanded 
to link each of the fields to the appropriate filer identified in Field 
Numbers 1 and 2.
     The definition of ``FERC Tariff Reference'' reported in 
the Contract Data (Field Number 19) and Transaction Data (Field Number 
50) permits references other than the filing company's own FERC tariff 
where sales occur under Commission-approved, cost-based rate schedules 
for certain power pools.
     The definition of ``Contract Service Agreement ID'' 
reported in the Contract Data (Field Number 20) and in the Transaction 
Data (Field Number 51) allows an ``internal identification system'' as 
opposed to a ``numbering'' system to allow for the inclusion of non-
numeric characters in the identifiers.
     The definitions of ``Class Name, F-Firm'' and ``Class 
Name, NF-Non-Firm'' reported in the Contract Data (Field Number 26) and 
the Transaction Data (Field Number 58) provide two definitions, to 
differentiate between firm transmission service and firm power 
sales.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ These definitions are intended to be consistent with NERC 
and the pro forma Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) definitions 
and Commission precedent. See, e.g., Preventing Undue Discrimination 
and Preference in Transmission Service, Order No. 890, 72 FR 12266 
(Mar. 15, 2007), FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,241 at P 1452-55, P 1539 
and P 1688-92 (Feb. 16, 2007) (Order No. 890). However, as explained 
below, infra P 21, these definitions only govern the manner in which 
these items are reported in the EQR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The definitions of the allowable entries for ``Term Name'' 
reported in the Contract Data (Field Number 27) and in the Transaction 
Data (Field Number 59) are being expanded. While EQR filers have 
indicated a preference that the definitions for power sales and 
transmission be differentiated, the Commission is striving to create 
consistency for uses of ``long term'' and ``short term,'' across its 
programs.\12\ Therefore, we propose to define ``Term Name'' in the same 
way for both power and transmission sales.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Market-Based Rates for Wholesale Sales of Electric 
Energy, Capacity and Ancillary Services by Public Utilities, notice 
of proposed rulemaking, 71 FR 33102 (Jun. 7, 2006), FERC Stats. & 
Regs. ] 32,602 at P 137 (May 19, 2006). Also, the Commission is 
aware of inconsistencies in these definitions with the FERC Form 1 
and is in the process of reviewing comments in Assessments of 
Information Requirements for FERC Financial Forms, notice of 
inquiry, 72 FR 8316 (Feb. 15, 2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The definitions of ``Increment Peaking Name, OP-Off-Peak'' 
and ``Increment Peaking Name, P-Peak'' reported in the Contract Data 
(Field Number 29) and the Transaction Data (Field Number 61) specify 
that the ``relevant NERC region'' was the ``NERC region of the point of 
delivery.''
     The definition of ``Increment Peaking Name, N/A-Not 
Applicable'' in the Contract Data (Field Number 29) indicates that ``N/
A'' is an acceptable entry if the contract does not specify the 
increment peaking period for the sale. The definition of ``Increment 
Peaking Name, N/A-Not Applicable'' in the Transaction Data (Field 
Number 61) indicates that ``N/A'' is an acceptable entry only when 
other available increment peaking names do not apply. ``N/A'' will not 
be acceptable for products such as ``Energy,'' ``Booked Out Power,'' 
``Capacity,'' or ``Ancillary Services.''
     The definitions of ``Product Type Name, CB-Cost-Based'' 
and ``Product Type Name, MB-Market-Based'' reported in the Contract 
Data (Field Number 30) specify ``energy or capacity sold'' under the 
seller's FERC-approved tariffs. This change allows filers to 
differentiate these product types from ``Product Type Name, T-
Transmission,'' which applies to cost-based or market-based 
transmission-related services.
     The definition of ``Product Type Name, S-Service'' in the 
Contract Data (Field Number 30) has been deleted to remove ambiguity 
regarding the types of products that must be reported.
     The name and definition of ``Point of Receipt Control 
Area'' reported in the Contract Data (Field Number 39) has been revised 
to ``Point of Receipt Balancing Authority'' in response to changes in 
terminology implemented by NERC beginning April 1, 2005.
     The name and definition of ``Point of Delivery Control 
Area'' reported in the Contract Data (Field Number 41) and in the 
Transaction Data (Field Number 56) has been revised to ``Point of 
Delivery Balancing Authority'' in response to changes in terminology 
implemented by NERC beginning April 1, 2005.
     The continued requirement to fill certain Contract Data 
fields--Contract Termination Date (Field Number 23); Quantity (Field 
Number 32); Units (Field Number 33); Rate Units (Field Number 38); 
Point of Receipt Balancing Authority (PORBA) (Field Number 39); Point 
of Receipt Specific Location (PORSL) (Field Number 40); Point of 
Delivery Balancing Authority (PODBA) (Field Number 41); Point of 
Delivery Specific Location (PODSL) (Field Number 42); Begin Date (Field 
Number 43) and End Date (Field Number 44)--has been clarified to be 
contract-specific. The EQR may still be filed if these fields are left 
empty, but the public utility has the obligation to complete the fields 
if the relevant terms are included in the contract.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ As pointed out above, supra note 1, to be consistent with 
NERC terminology, the proposed Data Dictionary uses the field name 
``PORBA'' (previously ``PORCA'' and ``PODBA'' (previously 
``PODCA'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The ``Product Name'' (Attachment A, Appendix A) in the 
Contract Data (Field Number 31), ``Capacity Reassignment,'' has been 
added to address a new EQR reporting requirement required by Order No. 
890.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Order No. 890, FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,241 at note 
499.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The ``Product Names'' (Attachment A, Appendix A) in the 
Contract Data (Field Number 31), ``Regulation & Frequency Response,'' 
``Spinning Reserve,'' and ``Supplemental Reserve'' have been modified 
to address changes in the OATT in Order No. 890.
     The ``Product Name'' (Attachment A, Appendix A) in the 
Contract Data

[[Page 26094]]

(Field Number 31), ``Exchange Agreement,'' has been revised to 
``Exchange'' and incorporated into the allowable product names in the 
Transaction Data (Field Number 62). This change will make it easier to 
identify sales under exchange agreements and adjust for their effects 
when reviewing product prices.
     The ``Product Name'' (Attachment A, Appendix A) in the 
Contract Data (Field Number 31 and Field Number 62), ``Transmission 
Owners Agreement,'' has been revised to expand the definition beyond 
agreements with ISOs.
    14. Two fields merit specific discussion. The Increment Name fields 
(Field Number 28 of the Contract Data and Field Number 60 of the 
Transaction Data) are intended to provide insight into the duration of 
the agreement under which a sale is being made. To compare sales in the 
EQR appropriately, we must be able to understand the duration of the 
underlying transaction that resulted in each sale. On a single day in a 
given market, prices for power under terms set at the beginning of a 
month may differ from hourly prices determined through an RTO or ISO in 
its real time market. The Increment Name fields provide a basis to 
understand price differentiation among otherwise similarly situated 
sales.
    15. The proposed EQR Data Dictionary includes definitions of 
Increment Names that offer more clarity and allow the fields to be 
automatically calculated. These definitions lay out specific time 
periods for each of the restricted values.
    16. Deals covering peak periods or off-peak periods (as identified 
in the Increment Peaking Name fields) are commonly characterized as 
daily, rather than as hourly transactions, even though they last less 
than 24 hours.\15\ For this reason, the proposed EQR Data Dictionary 
defines ``D-Daily'' transactions as those under deals that last over 
six and up to and including thirty-six hours to ensure that both peak 
and off-peak blocks for a single day are included.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ These deals would be reported in Field Number 29 of 
Contract Data and in Field Number 61 of Transaction Data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    17. Hourly deals, such as sales to ISOs, are characterized with 
terms shorter than the daily deals. Under the proposed EQR Data 
Dictionary deals of up to, and including, six hours would be reported 
as ``H-Hourly.''
    18. Transactions that cover blocks of hours over the course of a 
week (commonly identified in the industry by such terms as ``5x16'' or 
``2x24'') are characterized as weekly transactions.\16\ Sales under 
deals of over 36 and up to and including 168 hours (seven days) are 
defined in the proposed EQR Data Dictionary as ``W-Weekly'' deals. 
Deals over a week (168 hours) and up to and including one month would 
be reported as ``M-Monthly.'' Deals of a year or more (including sales 
where precise terms are set in a long-term contract) will be reported 
as ``Y-Yearly.'' We also propose a new ``S-Seasonal'' value to be used 
to characterize power sales that are made for longer than one month but 
less than a year, such as sales for the duration of a peak season.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ ``5x16'' (5 days x 16 hours) refers to a peak hour weekly 
deal and ``2 x 24'' (2 days x 24 hours) refers to a weekend deal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    19. In the Contracts tab, the Increment Name field (Field Number 
28) has descriptive value for those contracts that lay out the specific 
terms (price, quantity, and period) of the arrangement. Contracts that 
do not contain these specific terms should be described using ``N/A.''
    20. Also, in Order No. 890, the Commission addressed the issue of 
what constitutes a sufficient level of firmness to be eligible for 
designation as a network resource.\17\ We invite comments on whether 
the definitions of Class Names, ``Firm'' and ``Non-Firm'' (Field 
Numbers 26 and 58), need revision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See Order No. 890, FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,241 at P 1452-
55.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
