Rules Regarding Off-the-Record Procedures

What it does

The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposes amendments to revise the Commission's rules regarding permissible off-the-record procedures in proceedings with an opportunity for a hearing on the record. The proposed amendments also revise the Commission's rules to clarify that informal off-the-record procedures are consistent with the Commission's ex parte rules when participants receive advance notice and an opportunity to participate. This document informs the public of the filing, invites public comment, and takes other administrative steps.
