Abstract: In this NOPR, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) proposes to amend its regulations to waive the Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) requirements of 18 CFR 35.28, the Open Access Same-Time Information System (OASIS) requirements of Part 37 (18 CFR 37), and the Standards of Conduct requirements of Part 358 (18 CFR 358) for any public utility that is subject to such requirements solely because it owns, controls, or operates Interconnection Customer's Interconnection Facilities (ICIF), in whole or in part, and sells electric energy from its Generating Facility, as those terms are defined in the pro forma Large Generator Interconnection Procedures (LGIP) and the pro forma Large Generator Interconnection Agreement (LGIA) and adopted in Order No. 2003. The Commission proposes to find that requiring the filing of an OATT is not necessary to prevent unjust or unreasonable rates or unduly discriminatory behavior with respect to ICIF over which interconnection and transmission services can be ordered pursuant to sections 210, 211, and 212 of the Federal Power Act (FPA).

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: Providing Open Access and Establishing Priority Rights to ICIF through FPA Sections 210 and 211. The provision of open access and the establishment of priority rights to ICIF along with the safe harbor proposal result in the reduction in burden associated with avoided petitions for declaratory order, which have been used by ICIF owners to secure priority rights to ICIF capacity for future phased generation development. The Commission believes that the proposed regulations will reduce the need for eligible ICIF owners to file petitions for declaratory order to pre-emptively seek priority rights.
