again in a subdocket related to a 

compliance filing if you have previously 

intervened in the same docket. Protests 

will be considered by the Commission 

in determining the appropriate action to 

be taken, but will not serve to make 

protestants parties to the proceeding. 

Anyone filing a motion to intervene or 

protest must serve a copy of that 

document on the Applicant. In reference 

to filings initiating a new proceeding, 

interventions or protests submitted on 

or before the comment deadline need 

not be served on persons other than the 

Applicant. 

As it relates to any qualifying facility 

filings, the notices of self-certification 

[or self-recertification] listed above, do 

not institute a proceeding regarding 

qualifying facility status. A notice of 

self-certification [or self-recertification] 

simply provides notification that the 

entity making the filing has determined 

the facility named in the notice meets 

the applicable criteria to be a qualifying 

facility. Intervention and/or protest do 

not lie in dockets that are qualifying 

facility self-certifications or selfrecertifications. Any person seeking to 

challenge such qualifying facility status 

may do so by filing a motion pursuant 

to 18 CFR 292.207(d)(iii). Intervention 

and protests may be filed in response to 

notices of qualifying facility dockets 

other than self-certifications and selfrecertifications. 

The Commission encourages 

electronic submission of protests and 

interventions in lieu of paper, using the 

FERC Online links at http:// 

www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic 

service, persons with Internet access 

who will eFile a document and/or be 

listed as a contact for an intervenor 

must create and validate an 

eRegistration account using the 

eRegistration link. Select the eFiling 

link to log on and submit the 

intervention or protests. 

Persons unable to file electronically 

should submit an original and 14 copies 

of the intervention or protest to the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

888 First St., NE., Washington, DC 

20426.

FCC/CGB–1, ‘‘Informal Complaints and 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES

Inquiries.’’ As required by the Privacy 

Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Commission also 

published a SORN, FCC/CGB–1

seeks to ensure that telecommunications 

equipment and services are available to 

all Americans, including those 

individuals with disabilities. As with 

any complaint procedure, a certain 

number of regulatory and information 

burdens are necessary to ensure 

compliance with FCC rules. The 

information collection requirements 

also give full effect to the accessibility 

policies embodied in section 255. 

They do so by requiring 

telecommunications equipment 

manufacturers and service providers to 

make end-user product documentation 

available in alternate formats, including 

providing contact information to request 

such documentation, and by requiring 

them to demonstrate how they 

considered accessibility during product 

development.
