Abstract
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is amending its regulations under the Federal Power Act (FPA) to provide for the electronic filing of its Form No. 423 (Form 423). Commencing with the January 2002 filing, due March 15, 2002, only electronic filings will be accepted; the paper filing requirement will be eliminated. The Commission has developed the capacity to accept such filings electronically and has extensively tested the software and related elements of the electronic filing mechanism. This automation of the Form 423 yields significant benefits to respondents, the Commission and to the electric industry as a whole. These benefits include more timely analysis and publication of the data, increased data analysis capability, reduced cost of data entry and retrieval and an overall reduction in filing burden.
