FERC Keeps Collecting e-Tag Data
FERC is asking to extend its information collection (FERC-740) for three years with no changes, so Purchasing-Selling Entities and Balancing Authorities must continue providing electronic tag (e-Tag) access to Commission staff. Comments on this request are due March 19, 2026.
Rare Exemption Creates Small Cost
FERC estimates a placeholder administrative burden of one hour and $71.27 when a new non-jurisdictional Balancing Authority must be added to the exemption list; the agency conservatively assumes one such event per year. This cost would fall on the Balancing Authority and the e-Tag administrator when that rare event occurs.
