FERC-516A, Standardization of Small Generator Interconnection Agreements and Procedures (FR RM22-2-000)

Section 206 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 824e, obligates the Commission to remedy unjust, unreasonable, and unduly discriminatory or preferential rates, terms, and conditions of transmission service. Generator interconnection is a critical component of open access transmission service. This information collection request for FERC 516A involves Commission implementation of FPA section 206 via: • 18 CFR 35.28 (“Non-Discriminatory Open Access Transmission Tariff”); • The pro forma Small Generator Interconnection Procedures (SGIP); and • The pro forma Small Generator Interconnection Agreement (SGIA). The Commission’s regulations at 18 CFR 35.28 (2022) require certain types of entities to have on file an Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) that contains minimum terms and conditions of non-discriminatory transmission service. This requirement applies to all public utilities that own, control, or operate facilities used for transmitting electric energy in interstate commerce. Public utilities that are required to have an OATT on file with the Commission must include the pro forma LGIP, pro forma LGIA, pro forma SGIP, and pro forma SGIA in their OATT. Other provisions in section 35.28 apply to non-public utilities, but only if they seek voluntary compliance with jurisdictional transmission tariff reciprocity conditions. Non-public utilities are not affected by this information collection request. The changes in this ICR to the FERC 516A are a result of the final rule in Docket No. RM22-2-000. The revisions included in Docket No. RM22-2-000 would require respondents to update their Open Access Transmission Tariffs (OATTs), pro forma Large Generator Interconnection Agreements (LGIAs), and pro forma Small Generator Interconnection Agreements (SGIAs) and would require a single compliance filing to be submitted to the Commission.
