## Abstract

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is denying the requests for rehearing of its order on rehearing of the final rule in this proceeding. The final rule required public utilities that own, control, or operate facilities used for the transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce to create or participate in an Open Access Same-Time Information System (OASIS) in conformance with Commission regulations. The final rule also required those public utilities to implement standards of conduct to functionally separate transmission and wholesale merchant functions. The order on rehearing made minor revisions to the final rule and implemented a revised transmission discounting policy. This order denies the requests for rehearing filed by six interested persons in response to the order on rehearing of the final rule.
