FERC-1005 Extension: Credit Information Sharing Between RTOs/ISOs – Public Comment Request

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is requesting public comment on the renewal of an existing approved information collection program, FERC-1005, which governs credit-related information sharing between Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs). This action is taken in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), which requires agencies to periodically review and justify ongoing information collection burdens placed on the public. No substantive changes are being proposed to the core credit information sharing requirements under FERC-1005. The only modification is the removal of a one-time information collection component that has already been fully completed and is no longer applicable. The extension ensures continued regulatory oversight of how RTOs and ISOs exchange credit risk data with one another, a mechanism designed to promote financial stability and reduce counterparty credit risk in wholesale electricity markets. Public comments are being solicited to assess whether the ongoing collection remains necessary, accurate in burden estimates, and whether improvements to quality or clarity can be made.
