## Abstract

In this Final Rule, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is amending its regulations to further implement the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 (PUHCA 2005). Specifically, the Commission is adding a Uniform System of Accounts (USofA) for Centralized Service Companies, adding preservation of records requirements for holding companies and service companies, revising FERC Form No. 60, Annual Report of Centralized Service Companies, to provide for financial reporting consistent with the new USofA and providing for electronic filing of the revised FERC Form No. 60. The Final Rule will provide for greater accounting transparency for centralized service company operations, and uniform records retention by holding companies and service companies subject to PUHCA 2005. This transparency will protect ratepayers from pass-through of improper service company costs.
