FERC Market-Based Rate Tariff

Overview

Preparing FERC market-based rate tariffs manually requires extensive research across FERC orders, regulations, and official templates, often taking 6-8 hours of attorney time. Energy lawyers must cross-reference multiple FERC orders (697, 697-A, 860), verify regional category status, ensure 18 CFR Part 35 compliance, and format documents according to eTariff requirements—all while risking costly filing errors.

Preparing a FERC-compliant market-based rate tariff requires extensive knowledge of Order 697, Order 860, and complex eTariff formatting requirements. Energy attorneys spend 12-20 hours drafting comprehensive tariffs that incorporate market power analysis, regional category determinations, and ongoing compliance commitments. Manual drafting risks omitting critical regulatory provisions or failing to meet FERC's technical filing requirements.

CaseMark automates the entire FERC tariff drafting process by analyzing your authorization order and market power data to generate complete, filing-ready tariffs. The platform incorporates all applicable FERC regulations, formats documents for eTariff submission, and ensures compliance with current Commission precedent. Receive a professionally drafted tariff in minutes, not days.

Questions

What information do I need to provide to generate a FERC market-based rate tariff?

You'll need your FERC authorization order (including docket number and authorization date), market power analysis showing your category status in each regional market, and basic corporate information like legal name and state of formation. CaseMark extracts this information from uploaded documents and automatically populates the tariff with all required regulatory provisions and compliance commitments.

Does the generated tariff comply with FERC's eTariff filing requirements?

Yes, CaseMark formats all tariffs to meet FERC's technical eTariff specifications, including proper section numbering, headers, footers, and pagination. The output is a filing-ready document that can be submitted immediately through FERC's electronic filing system upon your review and approval.

How does CaseMark handle different category statuses across multiple FERC markets?

The platform analyzes your market power data and creates a comprehensive regional matrix showing your Category 1 or Category 2 status in each of the six FERC-defined markets (Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, Central, Northwest, and California). It automatically incorporates the appropriate compliance language and reporting requirements based on your specific category determinations in each region.

Can the tariff accommodate special conditions or limitations in my FERC authorization?

Absolutely. CaseMark reviews your authorization order to identify any market power mitigation measures, generation capacity caps, geographic restrictions, or affiliate transaction limitations. These conditions are automatically incorporated into the appropriate tariff sections with precise regulatory language and cross-references to the authorization order's specific findings.

What ongoing reporting obligations are included in the tariff?

The generated tariff includes comprehensive commitments for all FERC-required reporting, including triennial market power updates, quarterly Electric Quarterly Reports (EQR), change in status notifications within 30 days of material events, and asset appendix maintenance. Each obligation is specified with exact timing, format, and content requirements per 18 CFR § 35.42 and Order 860.
