SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Before Commissioners: Joseph T. Kelliher, Chairman; Suedeen G.
Kelly, Marc Spitzer, Philip D. Moeller, and Jon Wellinghoff.
    1. On October 24, 2007, Edison Electric Institute (EEI) filed a
request for rehearing or clarification in response to the Commission's
order adopting an Electric Quarterly Report (EQR) Data Dictionary.\1\
Order No. 2001-G collected in one document the definitions of certain
terms and values used in filing EQR data (previously provided in
Commission orders and in guidance materials posted at the Commission's
website) and issued formal definitions for fields that were previously
undefined.\2\ In this order, the Commission grants in part, and denies
in part, rehearing and clarifies the information to be reported in
Contract Execution Date (Field No. 21), Contract Commencement Date
(Field No. 22) and Rate Description (Field No. 37). In addition, we
correct an error that we made in Order No. 2001-G relating to Increment
Name (Field Nos. 28 and 60).

I. Background

    2. On April 25, 2002, the Commission issued Order No. 2001, a Final
Rule establishing revised public utility filing requirements.\3\ 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 to file quarterly reports that: (1) Provide data
identifying the utility on whose behalf the report is being filed (ID
Data); (2) summarize pertinent data about the utility's currently
effective contracts (Contract Data); and (3) summarize data about
wholesale power sales the utility made during the reporting period
(Transaction Data). 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.

(2004).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3. In Order No. 2001, the Commission also adopted a new section in
its regulations, 18 CFR 35.10b, which requires that the EQRs are to be
prepared in conformance with the Commission's software and guidance
posted and available from the Commission website. This obviates the
need to revise section 35.10b to implement revisions to the software
and guidance. 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.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    4. On September 24, 2007, the Commission issued Order No. 2001-G,
providing a data dictionary to clarify the information to be reported
in EQR data. EEI filed a request for rehearing or clarification
requesting clarification of a few specific items. In addition, on
December 4, 2007, TransAlta filed comments alerting the Commission to a
filing problem it was experiencing relating to Increment Name (Field
Nos. 28 and 60). The discussion below addresses EEI's rehearing request
and TransAlta's comments.

II. Discussion

A. Field No. 21--Contract Execution Date

    5. The EQR Notice \5\ proposed only a slight change to the Order
No. 2001 definition for Contract Execution Date: ``The date the
contract was signed. If the parties signed on different dates, or there
are contract amendments, use the most recent date signed.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Notice Seeking Comments on Proposed Electric Quarterly
Report Data Dictionary, FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 35,050 (2007), 72 FR
26091 (May 8, 2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    6. In response to the EQR Notice, Reliant and EEI suggested that
the Contract Execution Date should not change because of a minor
amendment to the contract. Both commenters noted that, frequently,
contract amendments are minor changes, such as changes in an address or
in payment terms, that do not affect the key operational parameters of
the agreement.
    7. Based on these comments, the Commission found in Order No. 2001-
G that the usefulness of the data may be increased with a single
execution date for each contract across all periods. However, the order
explained that, if there are material amendments to the contract, then
the Contract Execution Date must be changed.
    8. In EEI's request for rehearing, it argues that the Commission's
instruction that the Contract Execution Date must be changed when there
are material amendments to the contract is confusing and burdensome. It
suggests that the original execution date should be reported for the
duration of the contract and argues that changes in the contract will
be reflected in the descriptions of revised contract provisions, such
as in the Rate (Field No. 34), Begin Date (Field No. 43) and End Date
fields (Field No. 44).
Commission Conclusion
    9. In Order No. 2001-G, the Commission agreed with EEI and Reliant
that it need not change the Contract Execution Date each time there is
a minor revision to the contract and, accordingly, modified the
instructions on what information should be reported in this field. The
Commission reduced the burden and confusion by clarifying that minor,
non-material changes may be omitted for the purpose of identifying the
Contract Execution Date. EEI argues that the Contract Execution Date
should not be revised, even in instances where there has been a
material amendment to the contract.
    10. The Commission recognizes the benefits of classifying a
contractual relationship based on when it originated and will revise
the definition of Contract Execution Date as EEI suggests to require
companies to report the original date the contract was executed,
without regard to any subsequent revisions to the contract. For the
purposes of the EQR Data Dictionary, the definition will read: ``The
date the contract was signed. If the parties signed on different dates,
use the most recent date signed.'' However, this change will not be
incorporated at the cost of obscuring information that would alert EQR
users that key terms in the contract have been revised. Thus, the
Commission will revise the definition of Contract Commencement Date as
described below.

B. Field No. 22--Contract Commencement Date

    11. In order to alert EQR users that a contract has been revised,
the Commission will revise the definition of Contract Commencement Date
to refer to the date that service commenced under the current terms and
conditions of the contract. The Commission will further clarify that
the terms deemed relevant for determining or changing the Contract
Commencement Date are those that are reported in the Contract Data
section of the EQR.\6\ Any amendment

that would cause a change in these required data elements would require
a change in the Contract Commencement Date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In developing the EQR, the Commission identified a number of
key terms associated with the products and services offered under
any given jurisdictional contract. These terms include: Class Name,
Term Name, Increment Name, Increment Peaking Name, Increment Peaking
Name, Product Type Name, Product Name, Rate (actual, maximum,
minimum or description), and Time Zone. The Commission requires that
Class Name, Term Name, Increment Name, Increment Peaking Name,
Product Type Name, Product Name, and Time Zone be reported in the
EQR for every product offered under every jurisdictional contract.
Additionally, the Commission requires a definition of the rate for
every product either as a Rate, a Rate Minimum, a Rate Maximum or a
Rate Description. Finally, the Commission requires that companies
report, when specified in the contract for a given product,
Quantity, Units, Rate Units, Point of Receipt Control Area, Point of
Receipt Specific Location, Point of Delivery Control Area, Point of
Delivery Specific Location, Begin Date, and End Date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    12. The Commission recognizes EEI's concern regarding potential
inconsistency between the EQR and eTariff in identifying an original
execution date. However, there is a very real public interest in
identifying when key terms of the contract were determined. As market
conditions change over time, it is imperative to be able to sort the
deals that occurred years ago from those that were confirmed more
recently. To better understand the market conditions at the time a
contract was put in place, it is necessary to document the date that
key terms were established.
    13. The Commission will define Contract Commencement Date as ``The
date the terms of the contract reported in the EQR were effective. If
the terms reported in the Contract Data section of the EQR became
effective or if service under those terms began on multiple dates
(i.e.: due to an amendment), the date to be reported as the
Commencement Date is the date when service began pursuant to the most
recent amendment to the terms reported in the Contract Data section of
the EQR.'' In this way, the Commission and the public will continue to
be able to determine when the contract terms reported in the EQR were
determined.

C. Field Nos. 28 and 60--Increment Name

    14. In the EQR Notice,\7\ the Commission proposed to revise Field
Nos. 28 and 60 to, among other matters, create an Increment Name
covering ``Seasonal'' sales to characterize power sales made for longer
than one month, but less than a year.\8\ This proposal was opposed in
comments filed by EEI, Reliant and Occidental. In Order No. 2001-G, the
Commission agreed with the commenters that the term ``S--Seasonal''
should not be included in the options available for the Increment Name
fields. However, in the issued Order No. 2001-G, when the term
``Seasonal'' was dropped from the Data Dictionary, the interval to be
included in ``Monthly'' should have been adjusted in the attached Data
Dictionary, so there would be no gap between ``Monthly'' and
``Annual.'' Unfortunately, this correction was inadvertently omitted.

Regs. ] 35,050 (2007) (EQR Notice).
    \8\ EQR Notice at P. 18.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    15. On December 4, 2007, TransAlta filed comments alerting the
Commission to this problem.
Commission Conclusion
    16. We will take this opportunity to correct the inadvertent error
in Order No. 2001-G involving Increment Name, so that filers can
accurately report their sales covering a period of more than 168
consecutive hours up to one year as M-Monthly (>168 consecutive hours
and <  1 year).

D. Field No. 37--Rate Description

    17. The EQR Notice proposed defining Rate Description as a ``[t]ext
description of rate. May reference FERC tariff, or, if a discounted or
negotiated rate, include algorithm.'' EEI filed comments in response to
the EQR Notice requesting that filers be allowed to enter the tariff
location into the Rate Description field in lieu of a detailed
description of the rate itself. EEI supported this request by citing
the difficulty of putting complex rates into the 150 character field.
In Order No. 2001-G, the Commission stated that the EQR fulfills the
Commission's statutory obligation under the Federal Power Act (FPA) to
have companies' rates on file. We further stated that the Commission
relies on the EQR to satisfy the FPA requirement that rates provided in
a contract be publicly disclosed and on file. Thus, we concluded that
it is imperative that the information reported in EQRs provide an
adequate level of detail and transparency.
    18. The Commission also stated in Order No. 2001-G that a tariff
reference alone, instead of the actual rate description, does not meet
the FPA standard. Allowing filers to substitute a tariff reference in
place of an actual rate description would force EQR users seeking this
information to conduct further research to track down the contents of
the tariff on file. This is clearly less transparent than a rate
description that actually describes the rate. We also explained that,
if the tariff reference is coupled with a descriptive summary of the
rate, where the rate is the function of a complex algorithm, the
standard is met. Further, we explained that rate information will
continue to be available to the public at a level sufficient to explain
the bases and methods of calculation with additional detail available
upon request to interested persons.
    19. On rehearing, EEI argues that, in the case of cost-based rates,
the FPA requirement that rates be on file is satisfied by separate on-
the-record Commission filings, so it is not necessary to provide a rate
description in the EQR to satisfy the FPA. Thus, it argues, a reference
to the rate schedule number and page is sufficient for EQR purposes,
without any text description of the rate.
Commission Conclusion
    20. Prior to the adoption of Order No. 2001, public utilities
satisfied the FPA requirement to have their rates on file with the
Commission without filing EQRs (which had not yet been established).
Thus, EEI is correct that the EQR filings are not the sole means by
which this legal requirement can be met. However, section 205(c)
provides the Commission with wide discretion on how companies are to
file their rates and, in Order No. 2001, the Commission established the
EQR as a means to ensure compliance with the FPA, and to provide a
mechanism for the public to inspect and review the pertinent terms and
conditions of public utilities' contracts and transactions in an
electronic format that afforded greater transparency and accessibility
to this information.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See, for example, Order No. 2001 at P. 95.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    21. When this issue first was considered in Order No. 2001-G, it
centered on the question of whether 150 characters would be sufficient
to provide all the information needed to accurately describe a public
utility's rates. After consideration of EEI's arguments and the problem
of fitting an accurate rate description into 150 characters without
sacrificing transparency, we are persuaded to revise the definition for
Rate Description to include a provision that relates to a rate that is
currently on file with the Commission. The Commission will define Rate
Description as ``[t]ext description of rate. If the rate is currently
available on the FERC Web site, a citation of the FERC Accession Number
and the relevant FERC tariff including page number or section may be
included instead of providing the entire rate algorithm. If the rate is
not available on the FERC Web site, include the rate algorithm, if rate
is calculated.

If the algorithm would exceed the 150 character field limit, it may be
provided in a descriptive summary (including bases and methods of
calculations) with a detailed citation of the relevant FERC tariff
including page number and section. If more than 150 characters are
required, the contract product may be repeated in subsequent lines of
data until the rate is adequately described.'' With this revision of
Rate Description, EQR filers may provide the necessary information
without sacrificing transparency.
