FERC requests OMB review of FERC-516 Electric Rate Schedule Filings. FERC-516 will be affected because in the NOPR (in Docket RM11-7) the Commission is proposing to revise its regulations to remedy undue discrimination in the procurement of frequency regulation service in the organized wholesale electricity markets. The emergence of technologies capable of responding more quickly than the generators that have historically provided frequency regulation service has prompted the Commission to evaluate market rules to ensure that they are not unduly discriminatory or fail to provide just and reasonable compensation for the service being provided. If found, the Commission proposes to remedy the undue discrimination by requiring a uniform price for regulation capacity paid to all cleared resources and a performance payment for the provision of frequency regulation, with such payment reflecting a resource’s accuracy of performance. This proposed action helps to ensure that market rules do not present unnecessary barriers to the participation of all resource types in the wholesale ancillary services markets. The NOPR will require RTOs and ISOs to modify their existing tariffs.

No
The burden increase (500 hours) is necessary due to the requirement for 5 applicable entities to modify their current tariffs. The information collected is to modify existing tariffs and is used by the Commission to ensure that frequency regulation service providers are being compensated according to the actual service provided. Without requiring these changes to tariffs, ISOs and RTOs may not compensate certain types of frequency regulation service providers according to the value being provided.
