Abstract: A consolidated supporting statement is being submitted with 5 ICRs (for Forms 1, 1-F, and 3-Q electric; FERC-717 and FERC-917) for the final rule in Docket No. RM11-24. In accordance with sections 304 and 309 of the Federal Power Act, FERC is authorized to collect and record data to the extent it considers necessary, and to prescribe rules and regulations concerning accounts, records and memoranda. The Commission may prescribe a system of accounts for jurisdictional companies and after notice and an opportunity for hearing may determine the accounts in which particular outlays and receipts will be entered, charged or credited. The Form No. 1 (Annual Report of Major Public Utilities, Licensees and Others) is a comprehensive financial and operating report submitted for electric Rate regulation and financial audits. "Major" is defined as having (1) one million Megawatt hours or more; (2) 100 megawatt hours of annual sales for resale; (3) 500 megawatt hours of annual power exchange delivered; or (4) 500 megawatt hours of annual wheeling for others (deliveries plus losses). The Commission collects Form No. 1 information as prescribed in 18 CFR 141.1. Under the existing regulations FERC jurisdictional entities subject to its Uniform System of Accounts must annually file with the Commission a complete set of financial statements, along with other selected financial and non financial data through the submission of FERC Annual Report Form 1. The Form 1 provides the Commission, as well as others, with an informative picture of the jurisdictional entities financial condition along with other relevant data that is used by the Commission, as well as others, in making economic judgments about the entity or its industry.

Short Statement: FERC is revising its regulations to enhance competition and transparency in ancillary services markets. FERC is revising certain aspects of its current market-based rate regulations, ancillary services requirements under the pro forma open-access transmission tariff (OATT), and accounting and reporting requirements. Specifically, FERC is revising Part 35 of its regulations to reflect reforms to its Avista policy governing the sale of ancillary services at market-based rates to public utility transmission providers. FERC is also requiring each public utility transmission provider to add to its OATT Schedule 3 a statement that it will take into account the speed and accuracy of regulation resources in its determination of reserve requirements for Regulation and Frequency Response service, including as it reviews whether a self-supplying customer has made alternative comparable arrangements as required by the Schedule. Each public utility transmission provider is also required to post certain Area Control Error data on the open access same-time information system (OASIS). Finally, FERC is revising the accounting and reporting requirements under its Uniform System of Accounts for public utilities and licensees (USofA) and its forms, statements, and reports, contained in FERC Form No. 1 (Form No. 1), Annual Report of Major Electric Utilities, Licensees and Others, FERC Form No. 1-F (Form No. 1-F), Annual Report for Nonmajor Public Utilities and Licensees, and FERC Form No. 3-Q (Form No. 3-Q), Quarterly Financial Report of Electric Utilities, Licensees, and Natural Gas Companies, to better account for and report transactions associated with the use of energy storage devices in public utility operations. Unrelated to the final rule in RM11-24, FERC is adjusting the no. of respondents/responses by +1 (to 210 from, 209).
