  2. Agenda • Opening Comment • Fill in a simple Form549D • Will address Generic FAQs / Errata as we proceed in filling out Form549D (to eliminate inconsistencies between Form and Data Dictionary) • Open the workshop for questions

  3. Opening Comment • In designing the form, defining the fields in the data dictionary and writing the instructions, our goal was to produce a package that was generally applicable to the entire industry of 311/Hinshaw companies.

  4. Opening Comment – cont’d • The Data Dictionary, the Instructions and Orders may initially describe our most preferred form of certain of the requested data, followed an acknowledgement that if you don’t have the data in this form, then input the data in the manner in which you maintain the data. • This is true for receipt and delivery point names and IDs as well as shipper number and contract numbers.

  5. Opening Comment – cont’d • Field No. 27 – rate schedule designation. • NGA companies (excl. Hinshaw) must have tariffs that conform to section 154.103. • The 311/ Hinshaw companies need only comply with section 284.123(e). • For Form 549D – just identify the shipper’s rate schedule from your “statement of rates.”

  6. Sample Form 549D Respondent data – (Fields Nos. 1-18) – One time per report Shipper Data – (Fields Nos. 19-21) – One or more per respondent Contract Data – (Fields Nos. 22-25) – One or more per shipper Service Data – (Fields Nos. 26-32a) – One or more per contract Rates Data – (Fields Nos. 33-53) – One per service Billing Units Data – (Fields Nos. 54-67) – One per service Annual Revenue Data – (Fields Nos. 68-72) – One per service

  7.

The number is public but the FERC has not posted them. • http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/company-reg.asp

  8. Field No. 2 What is a FERC CID and where is it? • To find a number go to eLibrary and open the “FERC Generated Tariff Filing.RTF” version of your Baseline SOC filing.

  9. Field No. 3a – Explanation for Resubmission • This is a contextual Field that requires you to first select “Resubmission” in Field No. 3.

  12. Sample Form 549DContract Data – (Fields Nos. 22-25) • The contract information is meant to identify the transaction with a shipper. • Input a “master” contract number – the contract number is not meant to trigger a new transaction. • The shipper and contact data is automatically included in the header for billing units data and annual revenues.

  13. Sample Form 549DService Data – (Fields Nos. 26-32a) • Recall earlier comment – FERC doesn’t control the SOC in the same manner as NGA tariffs. Provide enough detail about the service and rate schedule so that one can reasonable identify the rate from the “statement of rates” in SOC. • Field No. 28 refers to the docket in which you requested the rates you are currently charging customers. If there was a rate change list both dockets.

  14. Sample Form 549DService Data – (Fields Nos. 26-32a) • Field Nos. 29-32a contain instructions for collecting data that would be uniform across the industry.
