TariffShark Software Updates Available for FERC Compliance

For our enterprise TariffShark customers, software updates are available NOW for all TariffShark Hammerhead releases (4.0.1 and higher) on TariffShark.com.

Hosted customers, we will update your hosted servers prior to the November 7, 2016 effective date of the Filing Type changes. No action is required on your part.

Background and Details

On September 6, 2016, FERC issued a notice that identifies changes to filing types that affect the Part 284 program. Subsequently, on October 21, FERC provided updated Filing Type and Attachment CSV files on the eTariff web page to align them with the notice.

Today we are announcing the availability of TariffShark software releases that accommodate these Filing Type changes. Updated software, upgrade guides, and installation instructions are available NOW on the TariffShark website.

Note that only the following FERC program is affected:

  • NGPA 311 Gas Pipelines 

If you are already running a recent TariffShark release, it’s likely that 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.

Please contact TariffShark Support at 847-252-1611 or at support@tariffshark.com if you have any questions or concerns.
