NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF XML SCHEMA

(May 8, 2013)

Take notice that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is making available on its website the Extensible Mark-Up Language (XML) needed to make Electric Quarterly Report (EQR) filings with one of the new filing processes adopted in Order No. 770.¹ The Commission is also posting CSV file samples. Order No. 770 revised the process for filing EQRs. Pursuant to Order No. 770, one of the new processes for filing allows EQRs to be filed using an XML file. The XML schema that is needed to file EQRs in this manner is now posted on the Commission’s website at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/eqr.asp. While this schema remains subject to any necessary changes prior to the availability of the finalized schema, Commission staff anticipates that changes, if any, will be minor.

Any comments or questions concerning the XML schema may be directed to eqr@ferc.gov. Please include “XML Schema” in the subject line of any such email.

We encourage all EQR filers to subscribe to our EQR RSS Feed to stay up-to-date on all updates.

Kimberly D. Bose,

Secretary.
