A. Step 1 - Instructions and tips for downloading and filling out the Form No. 552
- Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 8.0 and above are required to fill out the Form No. 552. Make sure you have the required version of Adobe Acrobat before attempting to download the form. You can download a free version of Adobe Acrobat here.
- Download and save the Form No. 552 fillable pdf to your desktop computer. Fill out the form using Adobe Acrobat Reader's software (not a web-based version of Adobe).
- Open the form, choose the filing year that you are submitting the form for (for example: for a filing due May 1 2017 you should be filing for CY 2016 so you would choose 2016 in the drop down box) and fill out the form using the form's General Instructions. Unless there is a name change or you are a first time filer, please spell the name of the respondent and reporting company the same as your previous year's submission including any spaces, punctuation marks and or special characters. Also please fill out the form in its entirety without any blanks. All sales and purchases information should have numeric values. If you have no sales or purchases to report for any category, please report zeroes.
- Do not manually sign the Form No. 552. Complete the Signature Block on Page 1, item 14, by simply typing the name of the Company Officer in the block. FERC considers this to be an electronic signature (see 18 CFR § 385.2005(c)).
- Save the form periodically to avoid losing your data entries.
- If you need to attach more than ten copies of page 3A (Schedule of Reporting Companies and Price Index Reporting) to your eFiling of Form No. 552, please contact [email protected] before attempting to file.
- All of the columns on Page 3 of the Form No. 552 must be answered with a Y, N or NA. Please do not leave any blanks.
- Do not attempt to alter the Form No. 552 or add footnotes to it. Page 2 List of Schedules contains a remarks section.
- Save your Form No. 552 to your desktop in the same format (a fillable pdf) before eFiling it.
