Description
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is requesting public comment on the extension of the currently approved information collection, FERC-1005, which involves credit related information sharing between Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs). There are no proposed changes to the ongoing information sharing requirements, but a one-time information collection that has been completed is being removed. The information sharing aims to reduce liquidity risks among utilities by facilitating credit-related data exchange between organized wholesale electric markets.
