Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 103 / Friday, May 28, 2010 / Notices e. The EECBG program has dramatically increased the workload placed on DOE procurement offices to award and administer the grants executed for the program. f. Delegation of certain non-monetary administrative actions to DOE program managers will increase the speed of expenditures of Recovery Act funds under the EECBG to speed goals of the Recovery Act. g. Appropriate controls, oversight and monitoring are available to decrease the risk of misuse of funds by the recipients without the Contracting Officers involvement in approval of programmatic changes and other administrative actions. Determination Based on the above findings and in accordance with the authority granted to me as the Senior Procurement Executive of the Department of Energy and as the Director of OPAM, I have determined that a class deviation to Department of Energy policies and procedures governing financial assistance is appropriate and necessary to meet the goals and objectives of the Recovery Act while at the same time providing required due diligence and rigor that support DOE’s execution of its fiduciary responsibilities. I have determined the deviation to 10 CFR Part 600, in particular 10 CFR 600.230, and DOE policies and procedures on the use of warranted Contracting Officers to administer financial assistance agreements is in the best interest of the EECBG program and the use of Recovery Act funds. The deviation is approved subject to the above findings and the process outlined in the attached memorandum. This class deviation applies to financial assistance agreements made using Recovery Act funding to State, city, county or Tribal recipients in support of the EECBG program. It does not apply to non-formula awards. This class deviation is not effective until fifteen days after a notice is published in the Federal Register; see 10 CFR 600.4(d). jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES Patrick M.

Regs. ] 31,276 (2008).
    \2\ The data elements and communication protocol are described

encompass rate schedule and jurisdictional agreement filings as 
well. Order No. 714, at P 13 n.11.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Once a Baseline Tariff Filing Has Been Made, All Tariff 
Filings Must be Made Electronically Pursuant to the Order No. 714 
Guidelines.
    Once a company makes its baseline tariff filing in compliance with 
Order No. 714, the company must make all subsequent filings of tariffs, 
rate schedules, and jurisdictional agreements in the Order No. 714 
baseline tariff filing format. As provided in Order No. 714, this 
requirement is not limited to tariffs or to modifications of the 
baseline tariff filing, but encompasses all the company's other 
tariffs, rate schedules, and jurisdictional agreements, and all filings 
revising, withdrawing, or otherwise affecting such documents or the 
effective dates of such provisions. For example, natural gas negotiated 
rate agreements and non-conforming service agreements, electric rate 
schedules, transmission, power sale, and ancillary service agreements, 
interconnection agreements, and all other jurisdictional agreements are 
covered by this requirement. As described below, this requirement also 
applies to tariff filings related to periods earlier than the baseline 
filing. Once the Office of the Secretary accepts a company's baseline 
tariff filing for processing, the company should not make any further 
tariff related filings on paper or electronically in a format that does 
not comply with the electronic filing format required by Order No. 714.
     Required Tariff Documents To Be Included With an 
Electronic Tariff Filing.
    As part of an electronic tariff filing, companies must include as 
tariff records 1) a copy of the proposed tariff provision, and 2) the 
plain text of the tariff provision. In addition as attachments, 
companies must include 3) a clean copy of the tariff provision and 4) 
the marked text of the provision (when required).
     Electronic Tariff Filings for Periods Earlier Than the 
Baseline Filing.
    The electronic tariff software will not accept electronic tariff 
filings with tariff records that have a proposed effective date earlier 
than the effective date associated with the tariff identification 
number for the baseline filing. Companies may have outstanding 
compliance obligations or rates for prior, locked-in periods that need 
to be filed with the Commission or may need to propose changes to parts 
of a company's tariffs that were not part of the baseline tariff 
filing. Such filings should be made in the following manner:
     [cir] The compliance or other provision applicable to the period 
after the baseline tariff filing has been accepted by the Secretary for 
processing must be made in the electronic tariff filing format required 
by Order No. 714.
     [cir] Tariff provisions governing periods earlier than the 
baseline filing must be included either as part of the transmittal 
letter or as a separate attachment, unless the company and its 
customers have waived the need to file tariff provisions for the 
earlier periods.

[[Page 30018]]

    As an example, if a company with a baseline tariff effective April 
15, 2010, has an outstanding compliance filing with an effective date 
of January 1, 2010, that the Commission accepts, the company must file 
the compliance tariff provisions as tariff records in accordance with 
the electronic file format of Order No. 714 with an effective date of 
April 15, 2010. The company also should file the tariff provisions with 
a January 1, 2010, effective date either as part of the transmittal 
letter or as a separate attachment.
     FASTR Requirements for Natural Gas Pipelines.
    FASTR will be retired after the baseline tariff filings have been 
made and the current FASTR configuration for each company as of 
September 30, 2010, will be added to the Commission's database as 
historical records. Once a baseline tariff filing has been made, 
pipelines are no longer required to submit records in FASTR format. 
However, companies that wish to update their FASTR records for past 
periods may submit an electronic version in the FASTR ASCII file format 
as an attachment.
