Disruptive Conduct at Commission 

Open Meetings 

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Commission is amending 

the CFR regulations which specify the 

roles available to the public at the 

Commission’s open meetings. This rule 

utilizes language from the Federal 

Communication Commission’s (FCC) 

open meeting regulation, and the Rural 

Telephone Bank’s open meeting 

regulation, to clarify that the term 

‘‘observe’’ does not include disruptive 

behavior. The rule also uses language 

from the FCC’s open meeting regulation 

to clarify that communications made or 

presented by unscheduled presenters 

will not be considered by the 

Commission. Finally, the rule uses 

language similar to the Consumer 

Product Safety Commission’s open 

meeting regulation, to clarify that 

members of the public may use 

electronic audio and visual equipment 

to record open meetings in a nondisruptive manner. The rule imposes no 

new obligations on the public. 

DATES: This rule will become effective 

April 13, 2015.

I. Introduction 

1. By this final rule, the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission 

(Commission) is amending 18 CFR 

375.203(b), which specifies the roles 

available to the public at the 

Commission’s open meetings. This rule 

utilizes language from the Federal 

Communication Commission’s (FCC) 

open meeting regulation, 47 CFR 0.602, 

and the Rural Telephone Bank’s open 

meeting regulation, 7 CFR 1600.3, to 

clarify that the term ‘‘observe’’ does not 

include disruptive behavior. The rule 

also utilizes language from the FCC’s 

open meeting regulation to clarify that 

communications made or presented by 

unscheduled presenters will not be 

considered by the Commission. Finally, 

the rule uses language similar to the 

Consumer Product Safety Commission’s 

open meeting regulation, 16 CFR 1013.4, 

to clarify that members of the public 

may record open meetings in a nondisruptive manner. The rule imposes no 

new obligations on the public. 

II. Background 

2. The Commission has recently 

experienced multiple disruptions to its 

open meetings from individual 

protesters. The disruptions have 

consisted of members of the public 

making unscheduled statements, 

standing up repeatedly, walking about 

the room, and displaying signs. 

3. The Commission’s regulations 

outline the roles available to the public 

at the Commission’s open meetings. 

Specifically, 18 CFR 375.203(b) states 

that ‘‘[m]embers of the public are 

invited to listen and observe at open 

meetings.’’ 

4. Like the Commission, other Federal 

agencies limit the conduct of the public 

at open meetings.1 Several other 

agencies have regulations on open 

meetings that expressly address
