Kelly, Marc Spitzer, and Philip D. Moeller Issued May 21, 2009. 1. Section 205 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 824d (2006), and 18 CFR part 35 (2008), require, among other things, that all rates, terms, and conditions of jurisdictional services be filed with the Commission. In Order No. 2001, the Commission revised its public utility filing requirements and established a requirement for public utilities, including power marketers, to file Electric Quarterly Reports summarizing the contractual terms and conditions in their agreements for all jurisdictional services (including market-based power sales, cost-based power sales, and transmission service) and providing transaction information (including rates) for short-term and long-term power sales during the most recent calendar quarter.1 2. Commission staff’s review of the Electric Quarterly Report submittals indicates that two utilities with authority to sell electric power at market-based rates have failed to file their Electric Quarterly Reports. This order notifies these public utilities that their market-based rate authorizations will be revoked unless they comply with the Commission’s requirements within 15 days of the date of issuance of this order. 3. In Order No. 2001, the Commission stated that, [i]f a public utility fails to file a[n] Electric Quarterly Report (without an appropriate request for extension), or fails to report an agreement in a report, that public utility may forfeit its market-based rate authority and may be required to file a new application for market-based rate authority if it wishes to resume making sales at market-based rates.2 4.

Pursuant to these requirements, the Commission has revoked the marketbased rate tariffs of several market-based rate sellers that failed to submit their Electric Quarterly Reports.4 6. As noted above, Commission staff’s review of the Electric Quarterly Report submittals identified two public utilities with authority to sell power at marketbased rates that failed to file Electric Quarterly Reports through the first quarter of 2009. Commission staff contacted these entities to remind them of their regulatory obligations.5 None of the public utilities listed in the caption of this order has met those obligations.6 Accordingly, this order notifies these public utilities that their market-based rate authorizations will be revoked unless they comply with the Commission’s requirements within 15 days of the issuance of this order. 7. In the event that any of the abovecaptioned market-based rate sellers has already filed its Electric Quarterly Report in compliance with the Commission’s requirements, its inclusion herein is inadvertent. Such market-based rate seller is directed, within 15 days of the date of issuance of this order, to make a filing with the Commission identifying itself and providing details about its prior filings that establish that it complied with the Commission’s Electric Quarterly Report filing requirements. 8. If any of the above-captioned market-based rate sellers do not wish to continue having market-based rate authority, they may file a notice of cancellation with the Commission pursuant to section 205 of the FPA to cancel their market-based rate tariff.

[o]nce this rule becomes effective, the requirement to comply with
