The changes from what is currently reported in OMBÂs inventory are due two initiatives implemented by the Commission for electronic filing. In Order No. 657 issued May 27, 2005 FERC amended its regulations, effective April 4, 2006, to provide for the electronic filing of FERC-523. These revisions reduced the CommissionÂs and the respondentÂs costs by allowing the submission of financial information in electronic format in lieu of the hard copy format; the type of financial data that jurisdictional entities submit in this application is already routinely stored in electronic format, making hard copy filing of such information burdensome. On November 15, 2007, FERC issued a Final Rule, RM07-16-000, Order No. 703, ÂFiling via the Internet revising its regulations for implementing the next version of its system for filing documents via the Internet, eFiling 7.0. This Final Rule allows the option of filing all documents in Commission proceedings through the eFiling interface except for specified exceptions, and of utilizing online forms to allow Âdocument less interventions in all filings and certain FERC proceedings. Electronic filing, combined with electronic posting and service over the web site, permits staff and the public to obtain filings in a faster and more efficient manner. In addition, there is the potential for further reductions as a result of reorganizations along functional business lines that may in turn, include further consolidations especially if public utilities opt to join regional organizations in the future and thus streamline their operations.
