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
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
Order on Intent To Revoke MarketBased Rate Authority
Issued June 25, 2010.
Before Commissioners: Jon Wellinghoff,
Chairman; Marc Spitzer, Philip D. Moeller,
and John R. Norris.
In the matter of: ER02–2001–015, ER00–
167–000, ER03–752–000, Electric Quarterly
Reports, Strategic Energy Management Corp.,
Solaro Energy Marketing Corporation.
1. Section 205 of the Federal Power
Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 824d (2006), and
18 CFR part 35 (2009), 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. The Commission further stated that:

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 2010. 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
utility listed in the caption of this order
shall file with the Commission all

delinquent Electric Quarterly Reports. 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.

In accordance with Section 309(a) of
the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to
make its comments on EISs issued by
other Federal agencies public.
Historically, EPA has met this mandate
by publishing weekly notices of
availability of EPA comments, which
includes a brief summary of EPA’s
comment letters, in the Federal
Register. Since February 2008, EPA has
been including its comment letters on
EISs on its Web site at: https://

comment letters on the Web site
satisfies the Section 309(a) requirement
to make EPA’s comments on EISs
available to the public. Accordingly, on
