Combined Filing Notices; Notice Announcing New Combined Notice of
Filings
May 13, 2005.
Effective May 17, 2005, the Commission will use a new method,
Combined Notice of Filings, to issue notices of filings. Initially,
this new method will apply only to electric rate filings. In time, the
Commission expects to issue the majority of notices of filings using
the new method. In the future, the Office of the Secretary will
announce by public notice the start-up date for the new notice method
with respect to other types of filings.
As a result of this initiative, the Office of the Secretary is
making the following changes to the filing procedures for electric rate
filings:
1. Filers are no longer required to include draft notices in floppy
disk format with the filing.
2. Filers requesting a short comment period for the filing must
clearly state such request in the ``Re:'' section of the filing, for
example:
Re: Hot Spring Power Company, Docket No. ER05---Request for
shortened comment period.
The notices issued under the new method will be added to eLibrary
and will be published in the Federal Register under the name ``Combined
Notice of Filings.'' These new notices will list between 10 and 20
filings already incorporated into eLibrary. Each filing will be listed
with its identifying details as follows:
Docket Number--This item will contain a hyperlink to the eLibrary
docket sheet for the docket number.
Name of Applicant(s)--This item will show the applicant name as it
appears on the filing.
Description--This item will contain a basic description of the
filing and a hyperlink that will open the filed document in eLibrary,
as stored in eLibrary.
Filing Date--This item will show the date on which the document was
filed with the Commission.
Accession Number--This item will contain a hyperlink that will open
the ``Info'' area of eLibrary for the filed document. There may be
instances in which the accession number for the particular filing
changes after issuance of the combined notice. In this case, the user
will have to search eLibrary to access the document.
Comment Date--This item will indicate the comment date for the
particular filing.
The ``Combined Notice of Filings'' will be indexed in eLibrary as
follows, for example: ``Combined Notice of Filings, May 20, 2005: This
notice contains information concerning multiple filings received by
FERC.'' The Commission may issue more than one ``Combined Notice of
Filings'' on any given day. In this case, the eLibrary index will read
as follows, for example: ``Combined Notice of Filings; May 20, 2005 No.
2: This notice contains information concerning multiple filings
received by FERC.''
The Commission first announced the new ``Combined Notice of
Filings'' during the April 13, 2004 open meeting. The ``Combined Notice
of Filings'' is similar to the electric rate group notices that the
Commission currently publishes in the Federal Register. By this
initiative, the Commission seeks to simplify the manner in which the
Commission's staff prepares notices and thereby expedite the public
issuance of notices.
A sample ``Combined Notice of Filings'' is attached.
Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
