[Docket No. RM04-9-000]


Electronic Notification of Commission Issuances; Notice of New 
Service List Download Options

December 6, 2005.
    Take notice that on December 6, 2005, the Commission released a new 
version of its Web Service List system. The new version allows users to 
download the postal addresses only for those persons who do not have an 
e-mail address on the service list. Previously, the only option for 
postal addresses was to download the postal addresses for all contacts, 
including those who could be served by e-mail.
    The three download options are:
    1. E-mail: Downloads the e-mail addresses for all contacts on the 
service list that are linked to an eRegistration account. The addresses 
are placed in a text file with a semicolon delimiter. It may be 
necessary to change the delimiter if your e-mail product requires a 
different delimiter. Once the delimiter is correct, you can copy/paste 
the addresses into an e-mail address field. Please note that pasting 
numerous addresses in a single e-mail may trigger some spam-prevention 
programs.
    2. Postal contacts without e-mail: Downloads the postal addresses 
only for those contacts that are not linked to an eRegistration account 
for the applicable service list. The download format options are the 
same as before: Delimited with a semicolon, comma, space, tab, or 
tilde; fixed length; Excel; Database file (dbf); or XML format. Options 
1 and 2 together account for all contacts on the service list.
    3. All contacts: Downloads the postal addresses for all contacts, 
whether they are linked to an eRegistration account or not, with the 
same format options as above. Option 3 also accounts for all contacts 
on the service list.
    The record format for the postal address download options is 
identical to the previous version. However, if you use the ``Postal 
contacts without e-mail'' option, the downloaded file will contain 
blank entries in any record where one or both of the contacts had an e-
mail address. This means that some users may need to revise a macro or 
other program used to generate mail labels to account for the blank 
entries.
    The Commission encourages any party intervening in Commission 
proceedings to efile the motion to intervene and to ensure that all 
contacts for the party and for a law firm that may represent the party 
have validated eRegistration accounts. The eFiling system allows 
persons filing a motion to intervene to specify all of the parties to 
the motion, all legal representatives of the party or parties, and any 
other contacts for the parties that should be served.
    Contacts for entities filing applications, petitions, or requests 
with the Commission should also have validated eRegistration accounts 
even if the application, petition, or request itself cannot be 
submitted to the Commission electronically. This will enable the 
Commission's Registry staff to select the eRegistration account for 
each contact so that the contact's e-mail address will appear on the 
service list.
    All persons with eRegistration accounts should maintain those 
accounts to reflect current address and other information. If an 
account holder's e-mail address changes, and the account holder wants 
to preserve links to existing service lists and eSubscriptions, that 
person should edit the e-mail address in the existing account instead 
of creating a new account. Persons should create new accounts only 
when, as a result of a move to another company or firm, there is no 
need to preserve links to service lists and eSubscriptions linked to 
the previous account.
    For additional guidance on using FERC Online for eRegistration, 
eFiling, and eService, refer to the FERC Online Reference Guide at
