FERC proposes to add a new section to 18 CFR part 1 to require that any entity communicating with the FERC or other specified organizations (e.g. ISO/RTOs and their market monitors, NERC and its Regional Entities, transmission providers) related to a matter subject to FERC  jurisdiction submit accurate and factual information and not submit false or misleading information, or omit material information.  The FERC also proposes that exercising due diligence to prevent such occurrences would be an affirmative defense to violations of the requirement.
