SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–516A ‘‘Small
Generator Interconnection Agreements’’
(OMB No. 1902–2003) is used by the
Commission to enforce the statutory
provisions of sections 205 and 206 of
the Federal Power Act (FPA), as
amended by Title II, section 211 of the
Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of
1978 (PURPA) (16 U.S.C. 825d). FPA
sections 205 and 206 require the
Commission to remedy undue
discriminatory practices within
interstate electric utility operations.
The Commission amended its
regulations in 2005 with Order No. 2006
to require public utilities that own,
control, or operate facilities used for the
transmission of electric energy in
interstate commerce to amend their
Open Access Transmission Tariffs
(OATTs) to include a Commissionapproved pro forma interconnection
procedures document and a standard
interconnection agreement for the
interconnection of generating facilities
having a capacity of no more than 20
MW (Small Generators).1
Prior to Order No. 2006, the
Commission’s policy had been to
address interconnection issues on a
case-by-case basis. Although a number
of transmission providers had filed
interconnection procedures as part of
their OATTs, many industry
participants remained dissatisfied with
existing interconnection policies and
procedures. With an increasing number
of interconnection-related disputes, it
became apparent that the case-by-case
approach was an inadequate and
inefficient means to address
interconnection issues. This prompted
the Commission to adopt, in Order No.
2006, a single set of procedures for
jurisdictional transmission providers
and a single uniformly applicable
