eRegister

By registering, you will receive a single user id and password that allows you to transact virtually all of your business with FERC. eRegistration does not grant access to non-public material in eLibrary – see here for more information.

eRegistration is essential to any person who transacts business with the FERC on behalf of themselves or another organization (e.g. companies or corporations). It provides authentication support to the FERC Online applications that ensures safe and secure transactions, thereby protecting the integrity of your data.
Importantly, and in order for an entity to receive electronic service of documents/Commission issuances, the filer must comply with the procedures for electronic registration as provided on this page. For additional information, see Rule 2010 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR §385.2010 (h)).

To register, pick a user name and password. The system will then prompt you for a user profile.

eLibrary

Users have access to over two million documents related to specific docketed proceedings with over ten million pages through the FERC Website.

Company Registration

All eTariff Filings and certain form filings require that filers use Company Identifiers issued by the Commission. You must check the requirements for the form you need to file to determine if that form requires a Company Identifier. 

To receive a Company Identifier, companies must apply through a FERC Online application known as Company Registration. This application will permit a company to request a Company Identifier, modify information associated with an existing Company Identifier, transition Company Identifiers issued before August 12, 2013.

Companies that make filings on behalf of required filers also may obtain a Delegate Identifier that will permit required filers to designate these companies as permissible filers on their behalf.

Prior to requesting a Company Identifier or a Delegate Identifier, the user should read, understand and acquire the information that must be provided to complete the Company Registration process. The information requirements are explained in the Instructions for Company Registration. With the assembled information, the user should go to the Commission's FERC Online page and select Company Registration . The Instructions for Company Registration provides step-by-step instructions on how to register a company.
