Notice of Citation Change for Commision Rulemakings

    Take notice that on January 1, 2019, the Commission will be 
changing its official citation format for orders in rulemaking 
proceedings. Because Commission orders in rulemaking proceedings 
currently are published in a variety of sources (posting on eLibrary 
and the Commission website, and distribution through LexisNexis, 
Westlaw, Commerce Clearing House, and the Federal Register), adoption 
of a standard citation format will permit citation uniformity across 
all sources and simplify the citation of Commission rulemakings.
    Accordingly, citations to rulemakings must use the FERC citation 
assigned by the Commission when issuing orders, e.g., 162 FERC ] 
61,001, at P 1 (2018). The FERC citation format alone suffices for 
future rulemaking proceedings, and also for those past rulemaking 
proceedings in which the paragraphs of the order are individually 
numbered and can be used for pinpoint citation. If, however, a pinpoint 
page citation is provided to a past rulemaking proceeding that does not 
contain individual paragraph numbers, both the FERC citation and a 
pinpoint citation to FERC Stats. & Regs. (or to the Federal Register) 
should be used.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Commission encourages participants, wherever possible, 
to provide in their pleadings pinpoint citations to the relevant 
paragraphs or pages.

    Dated: December 31, 2018.
Nathaniel J. Davis, Sr.,
Deputy Secretary.
