FERC Bundles Electric Rate Forms Into One Bigger Paperwork Package

## Summary

FERC is renewing and combining several electric rate and tariff reporting forms into one big, streamlined package called FERC-516. No new reporting rules are added, but outdated one-time forms are being dropped. Electric companies and related folks should note that comments on this update are due by August 24, 2026.

## Abstract

In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) is soliciting public comment on the currently approved information collection, FERC-516: Electric Rates and Tariffs. The Commission is proposing to renew and consolidate a number of electric tariff collections under FERC-516. There are no proposed changes to any of the ongoing reporting requirements; however, the collection is being updated to remove a number of one-time collections that no longer need to be submitted.
