The use of FERC-912 is necessary to provide the Commission with the information needed to determine whether an order is appropriate to either terminate or reinstate the purchasing or selling of energy under PURPA section 210(m). The Commission's implementing regulations, found in 18 CFR Part 292, provide the following procedures: • §292.310 an electric utility's application for the termination of its obligation to purchase energy from a QF, • §292.311 an affected entity or person's application to the Commission for an order reinstating the electric utility's obligation to purchase energy from a QF, • §292.312 an electric utility's application for the termination of its obligation to sell energy and capacity to QFs, and • §292.313 an affected entity or person's application to the Commission for an order reinstating the electric utility's obligation to sell energy and capacity to QFs. Note that the reinstatement of an electric utility's obligation to sell or purchase electric power to/from a QF depends on a Commission determination that the qualifications that relieved the utility from the obligation of purchase or sale are no longer met. The Commission uses the information collected by FERC-912 to determine if an order is appropriate and required under PURPA section 210(m). Without this collection of information, the Commission would not be able to carry out its obligations under PURPA section 210(m). The 30-day Notice is Docket No. IC19-10-000 being published in the Federal Register on 4/9/2019. (The metadata [FR page no. and date] here is a placeholder.)

Over the past three years, there have not been any filings for the reinstatement of the obligation to purchase and for the reinstatement of the obligation to sell. The regulations remain active and part of this OMB Control No., but staff does not expect any filings to be made in the next three years in those areas. (Question #12 in the supporting statement shows zero filings expected for those areas.) Over the past three years, the Commission has received a total average of 9 filings per year for the termination of the obligation to purchase and the termination of the obligation to sell, thus warranting the numbers seen in the tables. The changes are due to normal business fluctuations in energy markets.
