The federal regulatory process is complex and resource constraints and legally binding deadlines can complicate an agency’s regulatory task. All FERC regulated companies are constantly being given newly mandated FERC Compliance Monitoring requirements. Some of the reporting requirements are relatively simple. New compliance requirements can be more complicated. Additionally ever since the California power crisis and the ensuing oversight that occurred, companies need to have their compliance monitoring certified or outsourced. Management of all companies and board members, need the assurance that all facets of their business operations are in compliance with FERC regulations. IT systems that are shared between affiliated companies need to be security tested and certified by outside vendors that can state that the marketing affiliate of a regulated utility cannot obtain access to regulated data. Emails, Instant Messages and voice recordings need to have a system that automatically analyses them to search for wording that may be indicative of non-compliance. A constantly updated database would be used as market terminology evolves. There is a need to search through transactional data versus reported data to ensure that reporting is in compliance. The ability to see anomalies in trades versus market conditions should exist so that a company’s market based rate authority is not jeopardized. Transmission providers will need to ensure that their systems, tariffs, etc are all in compliance with Order 890.
