SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice of Effective Date of Revised Company Registration Requirements

    Take notice that beginning on August 5, 2013, the Commission will 
implement the new company registration format for those filings 
requiring the use of a Company Identifier (CID) number. The company 
registration system currently applies only to electronic tariff 
(eTariff) and Electric Quarterly Report (EQR) filings and does not 
apply to, or change the procedures relating to, other filings made 
through the Commission's eFiling system.
    After August 5, filings requiring the use of a CID number cannot be 
made until the filer either has registered using the new format or 
transitioned its existing company registration to the new format. 
Companies required to file using CIDs are urged to register or complete 
the transition process prior to making a filing to avoid the potential 
for registration problems on the day of the filing.
    As explained in the Commission's February 7, 2013 order,\1\ the new 
system adopts a revised method of authenticating filings requiring the 
use of a CID number that improves the filer's security by eliminating 
the practical need under the current CID system for a filing company to 
share its company registration password.\2\ Under the new system, the 
filer will maintain a list of eRegistered account administrators and 
agents whom it has authorized to submit filings on its behalf. Account 
administrators, in addition to making filings themselves, will have 
additional rights to administer the company registration account 
settings and designate agents to make filings. To make a filing, an 
account administrator or agent will use its individual eRegistration 
account to log onto FERC Online and 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Revisions to Company Registration and Establishing Technical 
Conference, 142 FERC ] 61,097 (2013).
    \2\ A company with an existing CID will use its password to 
effectuate the transition to the new process. After the transition, 
the password will not be needed.

system is posted at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/revised-company-registration-instruct.pdf.
