SUMMARY: 1 Market-Based Rate Affiliate Restrictions, 75 FR 20796 (Apr. 21, 2010), Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 32,567 (2010). PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 4569 I. Background 2. In Order No. 697,2 the Commission adopted affiliate restrictions that govern the relationship between franchised public utilities with captive customers and their ‘‘market-regulated’’ power sales affiliates, i.e., affiliates whose power sales are regulated in whole or in part on a market-based rate basis. These market-based rate affiliate restrictions govern the separation of functions, the sharing of market information, sales of non-power goods or services, and power brokering. The Commission requires that, as a condition of receiving and retaining market-based rate authority, sellers comply with these affiliate restrictions unless explicitly permitted by Commission rule or order. Failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in the affiliate restrictions constitutes a violation of a seller’s market-based rate tariff.3 3. On March 9, 2009, the Compliance Working Group 4 submitted a request for clarification in the Commission’s market-based rate rulemaking proceeding regarding which employees can be shared for purposes of compliance with the Commission’s market-based rate affiliate restrictions. On October 28, 2009, the Compliance Working Group submitted an amended request for clarification. In response to the Compliance Working Group’s request, the Commission provided clarification regarding which employees may not be shared under the affiliate 2 Market-Based Rates for Wholesale Sales of Electric Energy, Capacity and Ancillary Services by Public Utilities, Order No. 697, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,252, clarified, 121 FERC ¶ 61,260 (2007), order on reh’g, Order No. 697–A, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,268, clarified, 124 FERC ¶ 61,055, order on reh’g, Order No. 697–B, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,285 (2008), order on reh’g, Order No. 697–C, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,291 (2009), order on reh’g, Order No. 697–D, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,305 (2010). 3 Order No. 697, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,252 at P 549–550. 4 The Compliance Working Group stated that it consists of 27 energy companies, which include integrated electric businesses, merchant generators, marketing and trading businesses, and natural gas distributors, and explains that the group was formed in mid-2008 ‘‘to develop a model [Commission] compliance program guide.’’ Compliance Working Group Request for Clarification, Docket No. RM04–7–007, at 2 (filed Mar. 9, 2009); Compliance Working Group Amended Request for Clarification, Docket No. RM04–7–007, at 3 (filed Oct. 28, 2009).
