Electric - Qualifying Facilities
Self-Certification
A self-certification of QF status under 18 C.F.R. § 292.207(a)
must include the following:
- A cover letter that announces the self-certification of QF status of
the applicant's facility and references the enclosures (Form
No. 556; draft Federal Register notice, as applicable).
If a docket number already exists for your facility, you should
clearly identify it in the cover letter.
- An original and 14 copies of a completed Form No. 556.
- If the self-certification is for a "new cogeneration facility"
(as defined below), then the public will be given notice
of the filing through an announcement in the Federal
Register.
Thus, self-certifications of "new cogeneration facilities"
must be accompanied by a draft notice (visit our Notice
Formats page) suitable for publication in the Federal
Register. This draft notice should be submitted in
an electronic format, either on a 3 1/2" diskette
or CD-ROM (if the filing is made in hardcopy) or via eFiling
(if
the filing is submitted
electronically via eFiling). Pursuant to 18 C.F.R. § 292.205(d),
a "new cogeneration facility" is a cogeneration facility
that had not filed a self-certification or an application
for Commission
certification as a qualifying cogeneration facility prior
to February 2, 2006. Small power production facilities
and
cogeneration facilities that do not meet the definition of
a "new cogeneration facility" do not need to provide a
draft
Federal Register notice when self-certifying.
There is no fee for filing a self-certification.
When a self-certification is received via hardcopy filing, the Secretary will send to the applicant a copy of their filing with an assigned QF docket number. For facilities that have not been previously certified, a new docket number will be assigned. For a facility that is being recertified, the facility will be assigned a new subdocket number within the existing docket number. Applicants submitting a self-certification electronically via eFiling will receive a confirmation email that includes the docket number or subdocket number for their filing. Keep this number for future reference. You will receive no other document from the Commission for self-certifications.
Applicants for self-certification who have not yet received their docket number from the Secretary can locate their filed documents and find their docket number by performing a New Dockets Search in eLibrary. Please refer to our Locating a Filing for QF Status in eLibrary page for more information.
