[[Page 72963]]
regarding the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the Collection of
Connected Entity Data from Regional Transmission Organizations and
Independent System Operators (NOPR) issued on September 17, 2015. This
NOPR proposes to amend the Commission's regulations to require each
regional transmission organization (RTO) and independent system
operator (ISO) to electronically deliver to the Commission, on an
ongoing basis, data required from its market participants that would
(i) identify the market participants by means of a common alpha-numeric
identifier; (ii) list their ``Connected Entities,'' which includes
entities that have certain ownership, employment, debt, or contractual
relationships to the market participants, as specified in the NOPR; and
(iii) describe in brief the nature of the relationship of each
Connected Entity. The Commission also postponed the due date for
comments on the NOPR until 45 days after the technical conference.
Therefore, comments will now be due on January 22, 2016.
