The data submitted under FERC– 582 4 is used to determine the annual charge levied on each utility and is based on the total megawatt-hours (MWh) of transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce. This is measured by the sum of the MWh of all unbundled transmission (including MWh delivered in wheeling transactions and MWh delivered in exchange transactions) and the MWh of all bundled wholesale power sales (to the extent these later MWh were not separately reported as unbundled transmission). Public utilities and power marketers subject to these annual charges must submit FERC–582 data to the Commission by April 30 of each year (18 CFR 382.201). The Commission issues bills for annual charges, and public utilities and power marketers then must pay the charges within 45 days of the Commission’s issuance of the bill. Requests for waivers and exemptions of fees and charges (required by 18 CFR Parts 381 and 382) are filed, based on need. The Commission’s staff uses the filer’s financial information to evaluate the request for a waiver or exemption of the obligation to pay a fee or an annual charge. Public Comment and FERC response.
