Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 101 / Thursday, May 28, 2009 / Notices [o]nce this rule becomes effective, the requirement to comply with this rule will supersede the conditions in public utilities’ market-based rate authorizations, and failure to comply with the requirements of this rule will subject public utilities to the same consequences they would face for not satisfying the conditions in their rate authorizations, including possible revocation of their authority to make wholesale power sales at market-based rates.3 5. 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. The Commission orders: (A) Within 15 days of the date of issuance of this order, each public 3 Id.

If a public utility fails to make this filing, the Commission will revoke that public utility’s authority to sell power at market-based rates and will terminate its electric market-based rate tariff. The Secretary is hereby directed, upon expiration of the filing deadline in this order, to promptly issue a notice, effective on the date of issuance, listing the public utilities whose tariffs have been revoked for failure to comply with the requirements of this order and the Commission’s Electric Quarterly Report filing requirements. (B) The Secretary is hereby directed to publish this order in the Federal Register. By the Commission. Nathaniel J. Davis, Sr., Deputy Secretary. [FR Doc.
