The Office of Public Participation; Supplemental Notice of 
Workshop

    As announced in the Notice of Workshop issued in the above-
referenced proceeding on February 22, 2021, the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission (Commission) will convene a Commissioner-led 
workshop on Friday, April 16, 2021, from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 
5:00 p.m. ET. The workshop will be held electronically. The purpose of 
this workshop is to provide interested parties with the opportunity to 
provide input to the Commission on the creation of the Office of Public 
Participation (OPP).
    In December 2020, Congress directed the Commission to provide a 
report, by June 25, 2021, detailing its progress towards establishing 
the OPP. Section 319 of the Federal Power Act directs the Commission to 
establish the OPP to ``coordinate assistance to the public with respect 
to authorities exercised by the Commission,'' including assistance to 
those seeking to intervene in Commission proceedings. (16 U.S.C. 825q-
1).
    The agenda for the workshop is attached. The workshop will be open 
for the public to attend electronically and there is no fee for 
attendance. Information on the workshop will be posted on the Calendar 
of Events and the OPP Workshop on the Commission's website, 
www.ferc.gov, prior to the event. The conference will be transcribed.
    The workshop will be accessible under section 508 of the 
Rehabilitation Act of 1973. For accessibility accommodations, please 
send an email to accessibility@ferc.gov or call toll free 1-866-208-
3372 (voice) or 202-208-8659 (TTY), or send a fax to 202-208-2106 with
