Commission 

[Docket No. RM98–1–000] 

Records Governing Off-the-Record 

Communications; Public Notice 

This constitutes notice, in accordance 

with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of the receipt 

of prohibited and exempt off-the-record 

communications. 

Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, 

September 22, 1999) requires 

Commission decisional employees, who 

make or receive a prohibited or exempt 

off-the-record communication relevant 

to the merits of a contested proceeding, 

to deliver to the Secretary of the 

Commission, a copy of the 

communication, if written, or a 

summary of the substance of any oral 

communication. 

Prohibited communications are 

included in a public, non-decisional file 

associated with, but not a part of, the 

decisional record of the proceeding. 

Unless the Commission determines that 

the prohibited communication and any 

responses thereto should become a part 

of the decisional record, the prohibited 

off-the-record communication will not 

be considered by the Commission in 

reaching its decision. Parties to a 

proceeding may seek the opportunity to 

respond to any facts or contentions 

made in a prohibited off-the-record 

communication and may request that 

the Commission place the prohibited 

communication and responses thereto 

in the decisional record. The 

Commission will grant such a request 

only when it determines that fairness so 

requires. Any person identified below as 

having made a prohibited off-the-record 

communication shall serve the 

document on all parties listed on the 

official service list for the applicable 

proceeding in accordance with Rule 

2010, 18 CFR 385.2010. 

Exempt off-the-record 

communications are included in the 

decisional record of the proceeding, 

unless the communication was with a 

cooperating agency as described by 40 

CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR 

385.2201(e)(1)(v). 

The following is a list of off-therecord communications recently 

received by the Secretary of the 

Commission. Each filing may be viewed 

on the Commission’s website at http://
