Abstract:
FERC-600 was created in Order No. 602 to enable FERC to reorganize its existing complaint procedures to ensure that all complaints would be handled efficiently. Complaints may be filed by interested/affected parties regarding oil, natural gas, electric and hydropower operations, facilities, and services. The data in complaints are used by the Commission in establishing a basis to make an initial determination regarding the merits of the complaint and whether or not to undertake further investigation or provide relief. Investigations may range from whether there is undue discrimination in rates or services to questions regarding market power of regulated entities to environmental concerns. In order to make an informed determination, it is important to know the specifics underlying any oil, gas, electric, and hydropower complaint "up-front" in a timely manner and in sufficient detail to allow the Commission to act swiftly. In addition, such complaint data help the Commission and interested parties to monitor (e.g. the market for undue discrimination or exercises of market power). The information submitted is voluntary but submitted pursuant to prescribed filing requirements. The Commission implements these filing requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR Parts 343 and 385.206.
