Abstract:
FERC amended its regulations to add a new Subpart (Subpart H of Part 35, 18 CFR) governing market-based rates for public utilities in accordance with the Federal Power Act(FPA). FERC codified and, in certain respects, revised its current standards for market-based rates for sales of electric energy, capacity, and ancillary services. FERC retained several of the core elements of its current standards for granting market-based rates and revising them in certain respects. FERC also streamlined aspects of its filing requirements to reduce the administrative burdens on applicants, customers and on FERC.

Short Statement:
This Final Rule represents a major step in the Commissions efforts to clarify and codify its market-based rate policy by providing a rigorous up-front analysis of whether market-based rates should be granted, including protective conditions and ongoing filing requirements in all market-based rate authorizations, and reinforcing its ongoing oversight of market-based rates. The specific components of this rule, in conjunction with other regulatory activities, are designed to ensure that market-based rates charged by public utilities are just and reasonable.
