Take notice that on April 16, 2013, the staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission) will hold a technical conference on
changes to the company registration process applicable to filers of
electronic tariffs (eTariff) and other filings, such as Electric
Quarterly Reports (EQRs), requiring the use of a company registration
account, as directed by the Commission in its February 7, 2013
order.\1\ The conference will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

\1\ Revisions to Company Registration and Establishing Technical
Conference, 142 FERC ] 61,097 (2013). The Commission also has
required the use of company registration for filers of Electric
Quarterly Reports. Revisions to Electric Quarterly Report Filing
Process, Order No. 770, 77 FR 71288 (Nov. 30, 2012), FERC Stats. &
Regs. [Regulation Preambles] ] 31,338 (cross-referenced at 141 FERC
] 61,120) (Nov. 15, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company registration system applies only to certain specified
filings that require the use of a company identification number and
does not apply to, or change the procedures relating to, other filings
made through the Commission's eFiling system. At the conference,
Commission staff will demonstrate the new company registration system
and address questions. As described in the February 7, 2013 order, the
new system adopts a revised method of authenticating filings requiring
the use of a company registration number. Under this system, the filer
will maintain a list of eRegistered agents which it has authorized to
submit filings on its behalf. Each agent will use its eRegistration
account to log onto FERC Online, where the agent will choose the type
of filing (e.g., eTariff), and then will be presented with a list of
all the filing companies for which they are registered to make that
type of filing.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ In addition, filing companies also will be able to designate
personnel as Company Registration account administrators who in
addition to making filings themselves, will have additional rights
to administer the company registration account settings and
designate agents to make filings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Teleconferencing and WebEx will be available. Off-site participants
