(a) Requests for wholesale transmission services
Whenever any electric utility, Federal power marketing agency, or
any other person generating electric energy for sale for resale
makes a good faith request to a transmitting utility to provide
wholesale transmission services and requests specific rates and
charges, and other terms and conditions, unless the transmitting
utility agrees to provide such services at rates, charges, terms
and conditions acceptable to such person, the transmitting utility
shall, within 60 days of its receipt of the request, or other
mutually agreed upon period, provide such person with a detailed
written explanation, with specific reference to the facts and
circumstances of the request, stating (1) the transmitting
utility's basis for the proposed rates, charges, terms, and
conditions for such services, and (2) its analysis of any physical
or other constraints affecting the provision of such services.
(b) Transmission capacity and constraints
Not later than 1 year after October 24, 1992, the Commission
shall promulgate a rule requiring that information be submitted
annually to the Commission by transmitting utilities which is
adequate to inform potential transmission customers, State
regulatory authorities, and the public of potentially available
transmission capacity and known constraints.
