Abstract
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is amending its regulations to eliminate the paper filing requirements of Form Nos. 2 (Form 2), 2-A (Form 2-A), and 6 (Form 6). Commencing with the calendar year 2002 report filing due March 31, 2003 for the Form 2- A and Form 6, and April 30, 2003 for the Form 2, only electronic submission using Commission-provided software will be required. The elimination of the paper submissions yields significant benefits to the respondents and the Commission. These benefits include reduced printing and handling costs and an overall reduction in filing burden for the respondents, and a reduction in processing and maintenance costs incurred by the Commission.
