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. 
(EST), in a Commission Meeting Room at 888 First Street NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The public may attend.

    \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.
