Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 50 / Friday, March 14, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
were invited to attend the meeting and
participate in Committee deliberations
on all issues. Like all Committee
meetings, the December 9, 2013,
meeting was a public meeting and all
entities, both large and small, were able
to express views on this issue. Finally,
interested persons are invited to submit
comments on this interim rule,
including the regulatory and
informational impacts of this action on
small businesses.
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35), the order’s information
collection requirements have been
previously approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and
assigned OMB No. 0581–0178, Generic
Vegetable Crops. No changes in those
requirements as a result of this action
are necessary. Should any changes
become necessary, they would be
submitted to OMB for approval.
This action imposes no additional
reporting or recordkeeping requirements
on either small or large California olive
handlers. As with all Federal marketing
order programs, reports and forms are
periodically reviewed to reduce
information requirements and
duplication by industry and public
sector agencies.
AMS is committed to complying with
the E-Government Act, to promote the
use of the internet and other
information technologies to provide
increased opportunities for citizen
access to Government information and
services, and for other purposes.
USDA has not identified any relevant
Federal rules that duplicate, overlap or
conflict with this rule.
A small business guide on complying
with fruit, vegetable, and specialty crop
marketing agreements and orders may
be viewed at: https://www.ams.usda.gov/
MarketingOrdersSmallBusinessGuide.
Any questions about the compliance
guide should be sent to Jeffrey Smutny
at the previously mentioned address in
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
After consideration of all relevant
material presented, including the
information and recommendation
submitted by the Committee, and other
available information, it is hereby found
that this rule, as hereinafter set forth,
will tend to effectuate the declared
policy of the Act.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, it is also
found and determined upon good cause
that it is impracticable, unnecessary,
and contrary to the public interest to
give preliminary notice prior to putting
this rule into effect, and that good cause
exists for not postponing the effective
date of this rule until 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register
because: (1) The 2014 fiscal year began
on January 1, 2014, and the marketing
order requires that the rate of
assessment for each fiscal year apply to
all assessable olives handled during
such fiscal year; (2) this action decreases
the assessment rate for assessable olives
beginning with the 2014 fiscal year; (3)
handlers are aware of this action which
was unanimously recommended by the
Committee at a public meeting; and, (4)
this interim rule provides a 60-day
comment period, and all comments
timely received will be considered prior
to finalization of this rule.
List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 932
Marketing agreements, Olives,
Reporting and recordkeeping

For the reasons set forth in the
preamble, 7 CFR part 932 is amended as

1. In this order we are updating the
Electric Quarterly Report (EQR) Data
Dictionary in order to conform to the
changes to the EQR filing process
mandated by Order No. 770.1
Specifically, we are updating the EQR
Data Dictionary to indicate how market
participants should enter information
into certain fields in the new EQR
system so that the new system’s
validation process will more readily
accept the filings. This order also
updates Appendix B of the EQR Data
Dictionary, which contains Balancing
Authority names and abbreviations, to
reflect changes in the official source of
such data.

I. Background
2. On April 25, 2002, the Commission
issued Order No. 2001, a final rule
establishing revised public utility filing
requirements.2 This rule revised the
Commission’s filing requirements to
require companies subject to the
Commission’s regulations under section
205 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) 3 to
file EQRs summarizing transaction
information for short-term and longterm cost-based sales and market-based
rate sales and the contractual terms and
conditions in their agreements for all
jurisdictional services. The requirement
to file EQRs replaced the requirement to
file quarterly transaction reports
summarizing a utility’s market-based
rate transactions and sales agreements
that conformed to the utility’s tariff.
3. In Order No. 2001, the Commission
also adopted a new section in its
regulations, 18 CFR 35.10b, which
required that the EQRs are to be
prepared in conformance with the
Commission’s software and guidance
posted and available from the
Commission’s Web site. Since the
issuance of Order No. 2001, as need has
arisen, the Commission has issued
orders to resolve questions raised by

EQR users and has directed Staff to
issue additional guidance on how to
report certain transactions.4
4. On September 24, 2007, the
Commission issued Order No. 2001–G,
adopting an EQR Data Dictionary that
collected in one document the
definitions of certain terms and values
used in filing EQR data and provided
formal definitions for fields that were
previously undefined. Since its creation,
the Commission has revised the EQR
Data Dictionary on several occasions to
clarify terms and definitions as needed.5
5. On September 21, 2012, the
Commission issued Order No. 768,6
which, among other things, revised the
existing EQR filing requirements to
require market participants that are
excluded from the Commission’s
jurisdiction under section 205 of the
FPA 7 and have more than a de minimis
market presence to file EQRs with the
Commission. Order Nos. 768 and 768–
A also updated the EQR Data Dictionary
to reflect changes required by the
inclusion of non-public utilities in the
EQR process.
6. On November 15, 2012, the
Commission issued Order No. 770,
which revised the Commission’s
regulations to change the process for
filing EQRs. In Order No. 770, the
Commission announced that, due to
technology changes that will render the
current filing process outmoded and
unsustainable, the Commission will
discontinue the use of Commissiondistributed software to file an EQR. The
Commission reported that, instead,
beginning with Q3 2013 EQRs, it will
adopt a web-based approach to filing
EQRs that will allow a public or nonpublic utility to file an EQR directly
through the Commission’s Web site,
either through a web interface or by

Electric Quarterly Reports (Notice Providing
Guidance on the Filing of Information on
Transmission Capacity Reassignments in Electric
Quarterly Reports), 124 FERC ¶ 61,244 (2008)
(providing guidance on complying with the
Commission’s Order No. 890–B reporting
requirements); Order No. 2001–E, 105 FERC

submitting an Extensible Mark-Up
Language (XML)-formatted file (XML
filing option).8 In Order No. 770, the
Commission also updated the EQR Data
Dictionary.9
II. Discussion
7. As noted in Order No. 770, the
Commission is developing a validation
process in the new system that contains
validation checks that will run against
the data inputted by the EQR Seller or
Agent.10 The validation process
includes checks for required fields,
character formatting, and character
limits. As a result, the implementation
of the new EQR system directed by
Order No. 770 requires several
additional updates to the EQR Data
Dictionary, as detailed below. These
updates provide necessary guidance
regarding the new EQR system and will
help ensure that the EQR validation
process accepts market participants’
EQR filings. The new validation process
will reject submissions that are not
provided in the format expected for
each particular field. Updating the EQR
Data Dictionary to reflect these
expectations will reduce the number of
rejected filings, minimizing EQR filing
burdens.11 The updates to the EQR Data
Dictionary are described below.
8. The Commission is updating the
‘‘Required’’ column for certain fields 12
8 Although it originally was anticipated that the
new EQR filing system would be available in
October 2013 for use in filing Q3 2013 EQRs, the
Commission issued orders extending the deadline
to file Q3 2013 and Q4 2013 EQRs to dates to be
determined. Filing Requirements for El. Utility,
S.A., 145 FERC ¶ 61,031 (2013) (extending the
deadline for Q3 2013 EQRs); Filing Requirements
for El. Utility, S.A., 145 FERC ¶ 61,282 (2013)
(extending the deadline for Q4 2013 EQRs).
9 The most current version of the EQR Data
Dictionary (version 2.2) was issued on April 18,
2013 as an appendix to Order No. 768–A.
10 Order No. 770, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,338 at
31,764–65.
11 Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act, the
burden estimates (for the EQR, also known as the
FERC–920) related to the change to the new EQR
system were accounted for previously in Order No.
770 for existing filers. The initial implementation
burden for new non-public filers was accounted for
in Order No. 768. Because the updates to the EQR
Data Dictionary adopted in this order impose no
new or revised burdens or regulatory requirements,
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b), notice and comment
procedures are unnecessary.

and making corresponding updates to
the ‘‘Value’’ column for Index Price
Publisher(s) To Which Sales
Transactions Have Been Reported (Field
Number 73). The ‘‘Required’’ column
now indicates what information must be
entered in these fields if that
information is not specified in the
contract (e.g., leave the field blank or
enter ‘‘None,’’ ‘‘N/A’’, etc.) or required
in the index publishing data. Similarly,
the Commission is updating the ‘‘Value’’
column, for example, by specifying how
contact information must be entered and
the number of available integers or
characters in certain fields to be
consistent with Order No. 770 and the
new validation process.13 The
Commission is also updating the
‘‘Definition’’ column to include
guidance on required formatting and
data values.14
9. Moreover, the Commission is
removing specific references to commadelimited text (CSV) files and related
requirements in certain fields given that
the new system allows the additional
XML filing option.15 The Commission
also is updating the Company Identifier
(Field Number 3), Contact Name (Field

Index Price Publisher(s) (Field Number
13), Contract Service Agreement ID
(Field Number 20), and Contract Service

adopted in Order No. 770.16 The
Commission is also revising the
‘‘Definition’’ for Begin Date (Field
Number 43) and End Date (Field
Number 44) to reflect the fact that time
must also be noted in those fields, as
indicated in the associated ‘‘Value’’
column. Further, the Commission is
revising the ‘‘Definition’’ for Time Zone
(Field Number 56) to clarify that it refers
to transaction data (not contract data)
because this field is associated with
transactions.
10. In addition, the Commission is
updating the list of Index Price
Publishers in Appendix G to delete
‘‘Dow Jones’’ and updating the list of
Exchange/Broker Services in Appendix
H to add ‘‘Nodal Exchange.’’ Moreover,
the Commission is updating the list of
Balancing Authority names and
abbreviations to reflect changes in the
official source of such data, the Open
Access Technology, Inc. (OATI)
webRegistry, as indicated by Order No.
768–A.17 Finally, the Commission is
making the following clerical edits: (1)
To state in the ‘‘Definition’’ of Filer
Unique Identifier (Field Number 1) and
Transaction Unique ID (Field Number
45) that one record for each transaction
record ‘‘must be included’’ because this
information is required; (2) to clarify in
the ‘‘Definition’’ field of Filing Quarter
(Field Number 14) that the reference
number is used by the EQR System; and
(3) to add a period to the ‘‘Value’’ of
Point of Receipt Specific Location
(PORSL) (Field Number 40). If
information is not entered in the
manner specified above, the filing may
not be accepted by the new EQR
validation process. As discussed above,
these updates to the EQR Data
Dictionary will reduce burden on EQR
filers by clarifying system expectations
to ensure that data makes it through the
validation process.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The BNSF
Railway Company requested a
temporary deviation from the operating
schedule on the the Galveston
Causeway Railroad Vertical Lift Bridge
across the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway,
mile 357.2 west of Harvey Locks, at
Galveston, Galveston County, Texas.
The bridge has a vertical clearance of
8.0 feet above mean high water,
elevation 3.0 feet NAVD88, in the
closed-to-navigation position and 73
feet above mean high water in the opento-navigation position. In accordance
with 33 CFR 117.5, the draw shall open
on signal for the passage of vessels.
This temporary deviation allows the
vertical lift bridge to remain closed to
navigation from 7 a.m. through 5 p.m.,
March 24 through March 28, 2014. The
bridge will operate normally at all other
times. During this deviation, the bridge
owner will complete periodic
maintenance requirements and grease
all operating cables of the bridge.
Navigation at the site of the bridge
consists mainly of tows with barges and
some recreational pleasure craft. Based
on known waterway users, as well as
coordination with those waterway users,
it has been determined that this closure
will not have a significant effect on
these vessels. No alternate routes are
available.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35,
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the effective period of this
temporary deviation.
This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR
117.35.

Dated: February 26, 2014.

1. In this order we are updating the Electric Quarterly Report
(EQR) Data Dictionary in order to conform to the changes to the EQR
filing process mandated by Order No. 770.\1\ Specifically, we are
updating the EQR Data Dictionary to indicate how market participants
should enter information into certain fields in the new EQR system so
that the new system's validation process will more readily accept the
filings. This order also updates Appendix B of the EQR Data Dictionary,
which contains Balancing Authority names and abbreviations, to reflect
changes in the official source of such data.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Background
2. On April 25, 2002, the Commission issued Order No. 2001, a final
rule establishing revised public utility filing requirements.\2\ This
rule revised the Commission's filing requirements to require companies
subject to the Commission's regulations under section 205 of the
Federal Power Act (FPA) \3\ to file EQRs summarizing transaction
information for short-term and long-term cost-based sales and market-
based rate sales and the contractual terms and conditions in their
agreements for all jurisdictional services. The requirement to file
EQRs replaced the requirement to file quarterly transaction reports
summarizing a utility's market-based rate transactions and sales
agreements that conformed to the utility's tariff.

\3\ 16 U.S.C. 842d (2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. In Order No. 2001, the Commission also adopted a new section in
its regulations, 18 CFR 35.10b, which required that the EQRs are to be
prepared in conformance with the Commission's software and guidance
posted and available from the Commission's Web site. Since the issuance
of Order No. 2001, as need has arisen, the Commission has issued orders
to resolve questions raised by EQR users and has directed Staff to
issue additional guidance on how to report certain transactions.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See, e.g., Revised Public Utility Requirements for Electric
Quarterly Reports (Notice Providing Guidance on the Filing of
Information on Transmission Capacity Reassignments in Electric
Quarterly Reports), 124 FERC ] 61,244 (2008) (providing guidance on
complying with the Commission's Order No. 890-B reporting
requirements); Order No. 2001-E, 105 FERC ] 61,352 (2003)
(standardizing the terminology for control areas); Revised Public
Utility Filing Requirements, 67 FR 65973 (Oct. 29, 2002), FERC
Stats. & Regs. ] 35,045 (2002) (providing general guidance for using
the EQR software).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. On September 24, 2007, the Commission issued Order No. 2001-G,
adopting an EQR Data Dictionary that collected in one document the
definitions of certain terms and values used in filing EQR data and
provided formal definitions for fields that were previously undefined.
Since its creation, the Commission has revised the EQR Data Dictionary
on several occasions to clarify terms and definitions as needed.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See, e.g., Order No. 2001-I, FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,282
(revising the EQR Data Dictionary to define and rename the
Commencement Date of Contract Terms and clarifying information to be
reported concerning ancillary services); Order No. 2001-H, 121 FERC
] 61,289 (clarifying information to be included in several EQR data
fields).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. On September 21, 2012, the Commission issued Order No. 768,\6\
which, among other things, revised the existing EQR filing requirements
to require market participants that are excluded from the Commission's
jurisdiction under section 205 of the FPA \7\ and have more than a de
minimis market presence to file EQRs with the Commission. Order Nos.
768 and 768-A also updated the EQR Data Dictionary to reflect changes
required by the inclusion of non-public utilities in the EQR process.

6. On November 15, 2012, the Commission issued Order No. 770, which
revised the Commission's regulations to change the process for filing
EQRs. In Order No. 770, the Commission announced that, due to
technology changes that will render the current filing process outmoded
and unsustainable, the Commission will discontinue the use of
Commission-distributed software to file an EQR. The Commission reported
that, instead, beginning with Q3 2013 EQRs, it will adopt a web-based
approach to filing EQRs that will allow a public or non-public utility
to file an EQR directly through the Commission's Web site, either
through a web interface or by submitting an Extensible Mark-Up Language
(XML)-formatted file (XML filing option).\8\ In Order No. 770, the
Commission also updated the EQR Data Dictionary.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ Although it originally was anticipated that the new EQR
filing system would be available in October 2013 for use in filing
Q3 2013 EQRs, the Commission issued orders extending the deadline to
file Q3 2013 and Q4 2013 EQRs to dates to be determined. Filing
Requirements for El. Utility, S.A., 145 FERC ] 61,031 (2013)
(extending the deadline for Q3 2013 EQRs); Filing Requirements for
El. Utility, S.A., 145 FERC ] 61,282 (2013) (extending the deadline
for Q4 2013 EQRs).
\9\ The most current version of the EQR Data Dictionary (version
2.2) was issued on April 18, 2013 as an appendix to Order No. 768-A.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Discussion
7. As noted in Order No. 770, the Commission is developing a
validation process in the new system that contains validation checks
that will run against the data inputted by the EQR Seller or Agent.\10\
The validation process includes checks for required fields, character
formatting, and character limits. As a result, the implementation of
the new EQR system directed by Order No. 770 requires several
additional updates to the EQR Data Dictionary, as detailed below. These
updates provide necessary guidance regarding the new EQR system and
will help ensure that the EQR validation process accepts market
participants' EQR filings. The new validation process will reject
submissions that are not provided in the format expected for each
particular field. Updating the EQR Data Dictionary to reflect these
expectations will reduce the number of rejected filings, minimizing EQR
filing burdens.\11\ The updates to the EQR Data Dictionary are
described below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ Order No. 770, FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,338 at 31,764-65.
\11\ Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act, the burden
estimates (for the EQR, also known as the FERC-920) related to the
change to the new EQR system were accounted for previously in Order
No. 770 for existing filers. The initial implementation burden for
new non-public filers was accounted for in Order No. 768. Because
the updates to the EQR Data Dictionary adopted in this order impose
no new or revised burdens or regulatory requirements, under 5 U.S.C.
553(b), notice and comment procedures are unnecessary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. The Commission is updating the ``Required'' column for certain
fields \12\
[[Page 14371]]
and making corresponding updates to the ``Value'' column for Index
Price Publisher(s) To Which Sales Transactions Have Been Reported
(Field Number 73). The ``Required'' column now indicates what
information must be entered in these fields if that information is not
specified in the contract (e.g., leave the field blank or enter
``None,'' ``N/A'', etc.) or required in the index publishing data.
Similarly, the Commission is updating the ``Value'' column, for
example, by specifying how contact information must be entered and the
number of available integers or characters in certain fields to be
consistent with Order No. 770 and the new validation process.\13\ The
Commission is also updating the ``Definition'' column to include
guidance on required formatting and data values.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See, e.g., Contract Termination Date (Field Number 23);
Actual Termination Date (Field Number 24); Extension Provision
Description (Field Number 25); Quantity (Field Number 32); Units
(Field Number 33); Rate (Field Number 34); Rate Minimum (Field
Number 35); Rate Maximum (Field Number 36); Point of Receipt
Balancing Authority (PORBA) (Field Number 39); Point of Receipt
Specific Location (PORSL) (Field Number 40); Point of Delivery
Balancing Authority (PODBA) (Field Number 41); Point of Delivery
Specific Location (PODSL) (Field Number 42); Begin Date (Field
Number 43); End Date (Field Number 44); Total Transmission Charge
(Field Number 69); Filer Unique Identifier (Field Number 71); Seller
Company Name (Field Number 72); Index Price Publisher(s) To Which
Sales Transactions Have Been Reported (Field Number 73); and
Transactions Reported (Field Number 74).
\13\ See, e.g., Company Identifier (Field Number 3); Contact
Name (Field Number 4); Contact Country Name (Field Number 10);
Contact E-Mail (Field Number 12); Transactions Reported to Index
Price Publisher(s) (Field Number 13); Contract Affiliate (Field
Number 18); Rate Description (Field Number 37); Transaction Begin
Date (Field Number 51); Transaction End Date (Field Number 52); and
Trade Date (Field Number 53).
\14\ See, e.g., Filer Unique Identifier (Field Number 1); Rate
Description (Field Number 37); and Transaction Unique ID (Field
Number 45).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Moreover, the Commission is removing specific references to
comma-delimited text (CSV) files and related requirements in certain
fields given that the new system allows the additional XML filing
option.\15\ The Commission also is updating the Company Identifier
(Field Number 3), Contact Name (Field Number 4), Transactions Reported
to Index Price Publisher(s) (Field Number 13), Contract Service
Agreement ID (Field Number 20), and Contract Service Agreement ID
(Field Number 49) to include references to ``Agent'' and ``Sellers,''
consistent with the terms adopted in Order No. 770.\16\ The Commission
is also revising the ``Definition'' for Begin Date (Field Number 43)
and End Date (Field Number 44) to reflect the fact that time must also
be noted in those fields, as indicated in the associated ``Value''
column. Further, the Commission is revising the ``Definition'' for Time
Zone (Field Number 56) to clarify that it refers to transaction data
(not contract data) because this field is associated with transactions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See Filer Unique Identifier (Field Number 1); Filing
Quarter (Field Number 14); Contact Unique ID (Field Number 15); and
Transaction Unique ID (Field Number 45).
\16\ See Order No. 770, FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,338 at 31,760.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. In addition, the Commission is updating the list of Index Price
Publishers in Appendix G to delete ``Dow Jones'' and updating the list
of Exchange/Broker Services in Appendix H to add ``Nodal Exchange.''
Moreover, the Commission is updating the list of Balancing Authority
names and abbreviations to reflect changes in the official source of
such data, the Open Access Technology, Inc. (OATI) webRegistry, as
indicated by Order No. 768-A.\17\ Finally, the Commission is making the
following clerical edits: (1) To state in the ``Definition'' of Filer
Unique Identifier (Field Number 1) and Transaction Unique ID (Field
Number 45) that one record for each transaction record ``must be
included'' because this information is required; (2) to clarify in the
``Definition'' field of Filing Quarter (Field Number 14) that the
reference number is used by the EQR System; and (3) to add a period to
the ``Value'' of Point of Receipt Specific Location (PORSL) (Field
Number 40). If information is not entered in the manner specified
above, the filing may not be accepted by the new EQR validation
process. As discussed above, these updates to the EQR Data Dictionary
will reduce burden on EQR filers by clarifying system expectations to
ensure that data makes it through the validation process.
