SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 11, 2009, Southeastern published a Notice in the Federal Register (74 FR VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:24 May 28, 2009 Jkt 217001 Material Changes in Facts Underlying Waiver of Order No. 889 and Part 358 of the Commission’s Regulations; Order Clarifying Requirement To Notify Commission of Material Changes in Facts and Allowing 45-Day Filing Period for Notifications Issued May 21, 2009. Before Commissioners: Jon Wellinghoff, Chairman; Suedeen G. Kelly, Marc Spitzer, and Philip D. Moeller 1. In Order No. 889,1 the Commission directed all public utilities that own, control or operate facilities for transmitting energy in interstate commerce to provide certain types of information regarding their transmission operations on an Open Access Sametime Information System (OASIS). The Commission also established Standards 1 Open Access Same-Time Information System and Standards of Conduct, Order No. 889, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,035 (1996), order on reh’g, Order No. 889–A, FERC Stats & Regs. ¶ 31,049, reh’g denied, Order No. 889–B, 81 FERC ¶ 61,253 (1997). PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 of Conduct requiring that personnel engaged in transmission system operations function independently from personnel engaged in marketing functions. In Order No. 889, the Commission stated that it would entertain requests for waiver of these requirements on a case-by-case basis, and, on a case-by-case basis has granted waivers for certain public utilities.2 The Commission subsequently revised the Standards of Conduct in various proceedings, most recently in Order No. 717, but affirmed that public utilities may request a waiver of those requirements.3 In Order No. 717, the Commission found that any entity that has previously received a full or partial waiver of prior versions of the Standards of Conduct may continue to rely on that waiver. 2. It has come to the Commission’s attention that some utilities may continue to rely on these waivers even after they no longer qualify for them. The purpose of this order is to clarify that such reliance is inappropriate if there is a material change in the underlying facts on which the waiver was granted, and that the Commission must be notified when such a change occurs. Background 3. In Order No. 889, the Commission acknowledged that it might be burdensome for certain small utilities to comply with the rules therein, and stated that utilities may seek a waiver of some or all of the requirements.4 In subsequent orders outside of that rulemaking proceeding, the Commission established criteria for granting requests for waiver. The Commission held that waiver of Order No. 889 would be appropriate for a public utility if it: (1) Owns, operates, or controls only limited and discrete facilities; or (2) qualifies as a small public utility, unless it is a member of a tight power pool, or there are other circumstances that indicate a waiver is not justified.5 To qualify as a small public utility, an applicant ‘‘must be a public utility that meets the Small Business Administration (SBA) 2 See, e.g., Black Creek Hydro, Inc., 77 FERC ¶ 61,232 (1996) (Black Creek). 3 See Standards of Conduct for Transmission Providers, Order No. 717, 73 FR 63796 (Oct. 27, 2008), FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31, 280, at P 33 (2008), reh’g pending. The Standards of Conduct are currently codified in Part 358 of the Commission’s regulations. 4 Order No. 889, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,035 at 31,594. 5 Black Creek, 77 FERC at 61,941; Central Minnesota Municipal Power Agency, 79 FERC ¶ 61,260, at 62,126–27 (1997) (Central Minnesota).
