FERC Standards of Conduct Training - CenterPoint Energy

Contemporaneous Disclosure
Further, in order to avoid any appearance of undue preference,
any disclosure of non-public transmission function or customer
information to a customer or potential customer, even if that entity
is not an Affiliate with MFEs, should be reported to the Chief
Compliance Officer (FERC) so a determination can be made
whether a self-report to FERC of the disclosure is required.
Posting improperly disclosed information on the applicable Internet
website does not relieve EGT or MRT from possible liability for
violating the Standards of Conduct, and EGT or MRT may still be
subject to penalties (up to $1 million per day per violation) for the
disclosure.
However, promptly posting the disclosed information does prevent
any penalties from continuing to accrue for each day the
information was available to the MFE but not also available to the
public, and may reduce the severity of any penalty.
