In addition, sellers will be required to update the database on a monthly basis to reflect any changes, and the change in status filing requirement is changed to a quarterly obligation. After July 31,2021, no asset appendices or indicative screens may be submitted as attachments to filings through thee Filing system. Links Technology built PowerShark MBR, an industry solution to comply with the above FERC MBR data submission requirements.
