SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Before Commissioners: Jon Wellinghoff, Chairman; Marc Spitzer, Philip D. Moeller, and John R. Norris. Technical Corrections to Commission's Regulations Docket No. RM10-26-000 Order No. 737 Final Rule Issued July 14, 2010. I. Introduction 1. This Final Rule corrects a number of the Commission's regulations to bring them up to date or make them consistent with other provisions. The revisions are intended to be ministerial and/or informational in nature, as explained below. II. Discussion A. Minor Revisions Correcting Outdated Nomenclature, Addresses, and Provisions 2. Parts 3b, 46, and 152 of Title 18 of the Code of Federal Regulations, this Final Rule corrects all references, where appropriate, to the ``FPC'' (Federal Power Commission; the predecessor to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) to read ``FERC'' or ``Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.'' Also in these sections, multiple obsolete or outdated references relating to the FERC organizational structure are replaced or updated as appropriate. This Final Rule also revises incorrect references to a former FERC address and deletes regulatory provisions that no longer exist. This Final Rule also removes certain nomenclature to be consistent with other provisions of our regulations. See new 18 CFR 4.12 and 4.22 (2010). B. Minor Revisions Incorporating by Reference Web Site Language and Removing References to Paper Copies as Part of the Commission's Filing Procedures 3. For Parts 2, 4, 5, 8, 11, 16, 24, 32, 34, 45, 46, 152, 153, 156, 385, and 388, this Final Rule incorporates by reference the ``how to file'' requirements located on the Commission's Web site in order to reflect our current electronic filing options. These filing options are routinely modified to capture information and technology updates as well as updates to general filing procedures. In Part 2, a reference to multiple paper copies is replaced by a reference to updated filing procedures as posted on the Commission Web site. FERC now has paperless electronic filing options for nearly all documents submitted to the Commission and references to a certain number of paper copies have been revised.\1\ Part 4 is revised to remove multiple references to ``certified mail,'' which is no longer a requirement. See new 18 CFR 4.4; 4.12; 4.22 (2010). Parts 9 and 156 are revised to remove a reference to paper copies as part of filing procedures and Part 157 is revised to remove a section related to outdated file formats. Part 388 replaces language that requires a ``written statement'' with ``statement.'' See new 18 CFR 3b.203(b) (2010). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ Although electronic submissions are encouraged, the Commission has posted a Quick Reference Guide to Paper Submissions at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling/filing.pdf. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- C. Minor Revisions Removing Obsolete References to Filing Fees 4. Parts 32, 34, 45, 152, 156, and 157 are all revised by removing language referencing filing fees. These filing fees are no longer required by the Commission. D. Minor Revisions Removing Obsolete References to Form of Notice 5. Parts 33, 34, and 39 are all revised by removing language referencing forms of notice. The notices for these filings are now included in the Combined Notice Process. E. Minor Revisions Replacing Incorrect Order Number References 6. To correct prior typographical errors, Part 35 is revised by replacing multiple references to ``Order 741'' with ``Order 714.'' III. Information Collection Statement 7. The Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) regulations require that OMB approve certain information collection requirements imposed by agency rule. 5 CFR Part 1320 (2010). This Final Rule contains no information reporting requirements, and is not subject to OMB approval. IV. Environmental Analysis 8. The Commission is required to prepare an Environmental Assessment or an Environmental Impact Statement for any action that may have a significant adverse effect on the human environment.\2\ This Final Rule is not such an action, and does not represent a major federal action having a significant adverse effect on the human environment under the Commission's regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act. Part 380 of the Commission's regulations lists exemptions to the requirement that an Environmental Analysis or Environmental Impact Statement be done. Included is an exemption for [[Page 43401]] procedural, ministerial or internal administrative actions. 18 CFR 380.4(1) and (5). This Final Rule is therefore exempt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \2\ Regulations Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act, Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897 (Dec. 17, 1987), FERC Stats. & Regs., Regulations Preambles 1986-1990 ] 30,783 (1987). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- V. Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification 9. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) \3\ generally requires a description and analysis of final rules that will have significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This Final Rule concerns a matter of internal agency procedure and the Commission therefore certifies that it will not have such an impact. An analysis under the RFA is not required. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \3\ 5 U.S.C. 601-12. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- VI. Document Availability 10. In addition to publishing the full text of this document in the Federal Register, the Commission provides all interested persons an opportunity to view and/or print the contents of this document via the Internet through the Commission's Web site (http://www.ferc.gov) and in the Commission's Public Reference Room during normal business hours (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time) at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426. 11. From the Commission's Web site on the Internet, this information is available in the Commission's document management system, eLibrary. The full text of this document is available on eLibrary in PDF and Microsoft Word format for viewing, printing, and/or downloading. To access this document in eLibrary, type the docket number excluding the last three digits of this document in the docket number field. 12.

VII. Effective Date and Congressional Notification 13. These regulations are effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) (2006), the Commission finds that good cause exists to make this Final Rule effective immediately. It makes minor revisions with respect to matters of internal operations and is unlikely to affect the rights of persons appearing before the Commission. There is therefore no reason to make this rule effective at a later time. 14. The provisions of 5 U.S.C. 801 regarding Congressional review of final rules do not apply to this Final Rule, because this Final Rule concerns agency procedure and practice and will not substantially affect the rights of non-agency parties. 15. The Commission is issuing this Final Rule without a period for public comment. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b), notice and comment procedures are unnecessary where a rulemaking concerns only agency procedure and practice, or where the agency finds that notice and comment is unnecessary. This rule concerns only matters of agency procedure and will not significantly affect regulated entities or the general public.
