SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: On December 27, 2018,
the Department published in the
Federal Register a request for public
comments on the proposed updates to
the Classification of Instructional
Programs (83 FR 66687). This request
provided a 60-day period, from
December 27, 2018, to February 25,
2019, for members of the public to
review and comment on the changes.

funding, there was a partial government
shut-down from December 22, 2018, to
January 25, 2019, which impacted
several Federal agencies that would be
affected by the proposed changes to the
2020 CIP. To account for this, the
Department is reopening the public
comment period until March 26, 2019.
The Department must now receive your
comments submitted through the
Federal eRulemaking Portal on or before
11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, March 26,

file Electric Quarterly Reports
summarizing contractual and
transaction information related to their
market-based power sales as a condition
for retaining that authorization.2
Commission staff’s review of the
Electric Quarterly Reports indicates that
the following seven public utilities with
market-based rate authorization have
failed to file their Electric Quarterly
Reports: AmericaWide Energy, LLC,
Ampex Energy, LLC, Full Circle
Renewables, LLC, K&R Energy Partners
LLC, Bluesource Energy LLC, Greenbelt
Energy, and PJLB LLC. 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.3
4. The Commission further stated that,
[o]nce this rule becomes effective, the
requirement to comply with this rule
will 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.4
5. Pursuant to these requirements, the
Commission has revoked the marketbased rate tariffs of market-based rate
sellers that failed to submit their
Electric Quarterly Reports.5

6. Sellers must file Electric Quarterly
Reports consistent with the procedures
set forth in Order Nos. 2001, 768,6 and
770.7 The exact filing dates for Electric
Quarterly Reports are prescribed in 18
CFR 35.10b (2018). As noted above,
Commission staff’s review of the
Electric Quarterly Reports for the period
up to the third quarter of 2018 identified
seven public utilities with market-based
rate authorization that failed to file
Electric Quarterly Reports. Commission
staff contacted or attempted to contact
these entities to remind them of their
regulatory obligations. Despite these
reminders, the public utilities listed in
the caption of this order have not met
these obligations. 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
Reports 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 does not wish
to continue having market-based rate
authority, it may file a notice of
cancellation with the Commission
pursuant to section 205 of the FPA to
cancel its 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 subject to this order fails
to make the filings required in this
order, the Commission will revoke that
public utility’s market-based rate
authorization and will terminate its
electric market-based rate tariff. The
Secretary is hereby directed, upon
expiration of the filing deadline in this
80 FR 58,243 (Sep. 28, 2015); Electric Quarterly
Reports, 79 FR 65,651 (Nov. 5, 2014).
