The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has outlined procedures regarding off-the-record communications related to legal proceedings. According to the rules, prohibited communications, which are not allowed in the official decision-making process, must be shared with the Secretary of the Commission either in written form or as a summary if they are oral. These prohibited communications might be shared publicly but are typically not used in decision-making unless deemed necessary for fairness. Exempt communications are generally included in the decision record unless they involve a cooperating agency. A recent list of such communications can be reviewed online through the Commission's resources.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has issued a notice concerning "off-the-record" communications, which are discussions or messages not part of official proceedings. FERC rules require that any such communication related to ongoing cases be reported to the Commission and may not influence the decision unless the Commission finds it necessary for fairness. The notice lists recent communications received that are either prohibited, meaning they shouldn't affect decisions, or exempt, meaning they can be included in the case record. Individuals involved in these communications must share the details with all relevant parties in the case.
