Commission
Electronic Tariff Filings; Notice of
Effectiveness of Regulations
dwashington3 on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
October 28, 2008.
In Order No. 714, the Commission
revised its filing regulations to, among
other things, accommodate electronic
filing of tariffs and tariff related
materials. While Order No. 714 becomes
effective November 3, 2008, the
Commission delayed required
implementation of the electronic filing
requirements until at least April 1, 2010
to provide sufficient time for filers to
develop tariff filing software based on
the standards adopted in Order No. 714.
Tariff filings, therefore, must continue
to be made on paper using pre-existing
procedures and designation
requirements until the Commission has
a further opportunity to examine its
filing systems and processes in light of
the eTariff requirements.
However, many of the changes to the
Commission’s regulations are not
dependent on the electronic filing of
tariffs and tariff related materials. In
order to permit gas and oil pipelines
and electric utilities to take advantage of
those revisions not directly related to
electronic filing, these revisions will
become effective on November 3, 2008.
To assist in identifying the tariff
revisions that become effective on
November 3, 2008, the following
describes the status of specific
provisions that would appear to be of
15:23 Nov 03, 2008
Jkt 217001
A. Electronic Service (§§ 35.2(e), 154.2,
154.208, 341.2)
The regulations permitting electronic
service for initial rate filings will take
effect November 3, 2008.
B. Joint Tariff Filings
Order No. 714 (P 61–63) permits
public utilities filing the identical tariff
filings on behalf of two or more
companies to designate a single
company to file revisions to the tariff,
along with the required certificate of
concurrence. As of November 3, 2008,
public utilities can make joint filings in
this manner by designating the filer and
making a paper filing including only a
single copy of the tariff using the
designated filer’s tariff designation
requirements. The first time filings are
made using this procedure, the filings
must include a single tariff page for each
of the non-designated companies
providing the name of the tariff and the
utility designated to file the tariff on
behalf of the other companies.
C. Revisions Related to Tariff
Withdrawals and Amendments (§ 35.17
and 154.205)
These provisions will take effect on
November 3, 2008.

the most concern to filers and the
public.

filing be made to cancel a rate schedule,
tariff or service agreement. Until the
implementation of electronic filing, the
tariff filing must follow the paper filing
requirements using pre-existing
procedures and designation
requirements.
2. Notices of Succession (§ 35.16 and
154.603)
‘‘Notices of Succession’’ are
eliminated as of November 3, 2008.
Instead of filing a notice, revised
sections 35.16 and 154.603 provide the
new tariff must be refiled within 30
days of the date of succession. Until the
implementation of electronic filing, the
tariff filing must follow the paper filing
requirements using pre-existing
procedures and designation
requirements.
3. Section 311 Pipeline’s Statement of
Conditions (§ 284.123)
An NGPA section 311 pipeline’s
statement of conditions must include a
rate summary, as of November 3, 2008.

become a party must file a notice of
intervention or motion to intervene, as
appropriate. Such notices, motions, or
protests must be filed on or before the
