Order No. 860: Baseline Submissions

Webinar | 03.09.21, 8:00 AM EST - 8:45 AM EST

Please join members of Crowell & Moring’s Energy Group for a webinar as they discuss FERC’s new requirement for baseline submissions under FERC Order No. 860.


The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) issued Order No. 860, which changes the way market-based rate (MBR) sellers must submit certain information to FERC, as well as new information disclosure requirements and new compliance timelines. FERC’s aim is to create a relational database to contain MBR seller information that ultimately will allow for the automatic generation of an appendix of relevant affiliated assets and indicative market power screens. Each MBR seller must first make a baseline submission to the relational database that includes information related to its MBR authorization, its ownership, its generation, and its long-term firm power purchases and sales. Is your organization leveraged to provide and capture this information?


During the webinar you will learn:

  • Baseline submission requirements
  • Potential data collection and submission challenges
  • Ways your organization can capture required data points

As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors. ...
