Regulations Governing Off-the-Record

Communications; Public Notice

April 20, 2001.

This constitutes notice, in accordance

with 18 CFR 385.2201(h), of the receipt

of exempt and prohibited off-the-record

communications.

Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222,

September 22, 1999) requires

Commission decisional employees, who

make or receive an exempt or a

prohibited off-the-record

communication relevant to the merits of

a contested on-the-record proceeding, to

deliver a copy of the communication, if

written, or a summary of the substance

of any oral communication, to the

Secretary.

Prohibited communications will be

included in a public, non-decisional file

associated with, but not part of, the

decisional record of the proceeding.

Unless the Commission determines that

the prohibited communication and any

responses thereto should become part of

the decisional record, the prohibited offthe-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 requests

only when it determines that fairness so

requires. Any person identified below as

having made a prohibited off-the-record

communication should 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 will be 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 exempt and

prohibited off-the-record
