## Abstract

In this Final Rule, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is amending its regulations to provide for electronic filing of the FERC Form No. 714, Annual Electric Control and Planning Area Report. Paper filings will no longer be accepted. No substantive changes are being made to the information reported in the FERC Form No. 714; however, the Commission has made minor formatting changes to the form to facilitate the development of the form submission software. Finally, as an administrative revision, the term "Control Area" will be changed to "Balancing Authority Area," in line with current industry practice. In a separate notice, a forty-five day extension, to July 16, 2007, will be granted this first year under the new system to allow additional time to file.
