Roundtable on Environmental Justice and Equity in Infrastructure 
Permitting; Notice of Roundtable and Request for Panelists

    Take notice that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(Commission) will convene in the above-referenced proceeding, a 
Commissioner-led roundtable to discuss environmental justice and equity 
in its jurisdictional infrastructure permitting processes. The 
roundtable will be held on Wednesday, March 29, 2023 and will be held 
in-person with hybrid capabilities.
    The Commission is convening this roundtable to strengthen our 
efforts to identify, address, and avoid adverse impacts to 
environmental justice communities associated with permitting 
applications for hydroelectric, natural gas pipeline, liquified natural 
gas, and transmission infrastructure subject to our jurisdiction. The 
roundtable will provide an opportunity for the Commissioners and staff 
to hear from environmental justice community members, including those 
impacted by the infrastructure we regulate, as well as advocates, 
researchers, industry representatives and government leaders on steps 
the Commission can take to better incorporate environmental justice and 
equity considerations into our decisions and processes.
    The roundtable will be open for the public to attend in-person and 
virtually, and there is no fee for attendance. The Commission seeks 
nominations of panelists to participate in the roundtable by February 
17, 2023. Each nomination should indicate name, contact information, 
organizational affiliation, and what issues the proposed panelist would 
speak on to [email protected]. Supplemental 
notices will be issued prior to the roundtable with further details 
regarding the agenda.
    Information on this roundtable will also be posted on the Calendar 
of Events on the Commission's website, www.ferc.gov, prior to the 
event. Transcripts will be available for a fee from Ace Reporting, 
(202) 347-3700.
