This list also includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission’s regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property may be used temporarily for project purposes, or who own homes within certain distances of aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits comments on the project. We will update the environmental mailing list as the analysis proceeds to ensure that we send the information related to this environmental review to all individuals, organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the proposed project. If the EA is published for distribution, copies will be sent to the environmental mailing list for public review and comment. Becoming an Intervenor In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, you may want to become an ‘‘intervenor’’ which is an official party to the Commission’s proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the process and are able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard by the courts if they choose to appeal the Commission’s final ruling. An intervenor formally participates in the proceeding by filing a request to intervene. Instructions for becoming an intervenor are included in the User’s Guide under the ‘‘e-filing’’ link on the Commission’s website.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1. The Commission seeks comment regarding circumstances in which locational exchanges of electric power should be permitted generically or considered by the Commission on a case-by-case basis. Because locational exchanges, in different circumstances, might look either like wholesale power transactions that make efficient use of the transmission system or like the functional equivalent of transmission service, we also seek comments as to whether and how different types of locational exchanges are consistent with our core principles that transmission service must be available on a transparent and not unduly PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 10353 discriminatory basis. While the Commission has spoken to locational exchanges in the past and that guidance continues to apply today, any policy determinations made in this proceeding will only be applied prospectively. I. Background A. Docket No. EL10–71–000 2. On June 4, 2010, Puget Sound Energy Inc. (Puget) filed a petition for declaratory order seeking a finding that a locational exchange is a wholesale power transaction and not transmission service subject to an open access transmission tariff (OATT). Puget defines a locational exchange as * * * a pair of simultaneously arranged wholesale power transactions between the same counterparties in which party A sells electricity to party B at one location, and party B sells the same volume of electricity to party A at a different location with the same delivery period, but not necessarily at the same price.1 3. In an order issuing contemporaneously with this NOI, the Commission finds that Puget’s Petition raises significant policy issues for market participants in the electric industry and that the record in Docket No. EL10–71–000 provides insufficient basis to make the determination requested by Puget.2 The Commission has initiated this proceeding to develop the record necessary to address the proper regulatory treatment of locational exchanges. B. Prior Commission Policy 4. Prior to Puget’s Petition, the Commission discussed transactions similar to locational exchanges in Order No. 888 3 and subsequent Commission orders. As part of its statutory obligation under sections 205 and 206 of the Federal Power Act 4 to remedy undue discrimination, the Commission adopted Order No. 888, which prohibits public utilities from using their monopoly power over transmission to engage in undue discrimination against others.
