\1\ Regulations for Filing Applications for Permits to Site
Interstate Electric Transmission Facilities, Order No. 689, 71 FR
69440 (November 16, 2006), FERC Stats. & Regs. 31,234 (2006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Order No. 689 requires potential applicants to complete a pre-
filing process prior to filing an application for an electric
transmission construction permit. The pre-filing request will be
assigned a ``PT'' docket number prefix, and all related filings should
be submitted under that docket. Applications for a permit to site
facilities will be assigned an ``ET'' docket \2\ and all related
filings should refer to that docket number.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Application filings under a new ET docket should reference
the applicable pre-filing PT docket number.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pre-filing requests, applications, and all related filings may be
submitted using the Commission's electronic filing system (http://
www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp). Guidelines for the appropriate
efiling menu choices and the required number of staff copies are listed
in the Filing Guide and Qualified Documents List on the efiling Web
page under the entries for 18 CFR Part 50 of the Commission's
regulations.
Comments submitted in both PT and ET docket number prefixes will be
eligible to be electronically submitted using the Commission's Quick
Comment option. Quick Comment is an easier alternative to the efiling
system for submitting text comments and does not require advance
eRegistration. Commenters may also use the efiling system to submit
more extensive comments and/or exhibits, provided they have an
eRegistration account.
If you need assistance with efiling, please contact FERC Online
Support at 1-866-208-3676 or FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
