Background and Details
On March 15, 2018, FERC took action to address changes in the income tax rates for the electric transmission and natural gas and oil pipeline companies that it regulates, stemming from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Commission’s news release provides an excellent summary of its actions with links to relevant notices, orders, and other resources.
In accordance with FERC’s recent actions, the following new Filing Types have been added to TariffShark:
| TOFC (Code) | Filing Title (Description) | Filing Category | Applies To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1430 | FERC Form No. 501-G Report | Compliance | NGA Gas Pipelines |
| 1440 | Limited Sec 4 Tax Reduction | Normal | NGA Gas Pipelines |
| 1450 | Limited Tax Reduction | Compliance | Federal Power Act Electric (Traditional Cost of Service and Market Based Rates) Public Utilities |
Today we are announcing the availability of TariffShark software releases that accommodate these Filing Type additions. Updated software, upgrade guides, and installation instructions are available NOW on the TariffShark website.
If you are currently running a recent TariffShark release, only your TariffShark database is affected by this update. Consult the TariffShark Releases page to assess the impact to your installation. If only your TariffShark database requires update, simply download and run the appropriate database installer to bring your TariffShark installation up to the latest release.
