The FERC Form No. 580 (Form 580) interrogatory is conducted every two years. Through it, the Commission collects information from public utilities subject to its jurisdiction that own or operate power plants that generate a minimum of 50MW. Presently there are approximately 125 public utilities subject to this requirement. The information collected through the Form 580 interrogatory is used by Commission staff to review utility purchase and cost recovery practices through AACs to insure efficient use of resources, in compliance with the statute and with Commission regulations promulgated in 18 CFR §35.14. The information is also used by the Commission to evaluate costs in individual rate filings and to supplement periodic utility audits. The public also uses the information in this manner. Without the Form 580 interrogatory, the Commission would not have the requisite information available to conduct the necessary review the FPA mandates. The current submission is for a non-substantive change. Details are provided in the supplementary documents.
