In a notice from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, certain staff members of the Office of Enforcement are declared "non-decisional," which means they cannot advise the Commission or participate in settlement reviews. This designation follows an order dated December 16, 2024, and is mandated by regulatory guidelines. However, there are specific staff exceptions who remain decisional, including members like Nicholas Stavlas and Michael Raibman. This notice is an administrative step to ensure clear roles within the Commission for handling deliberations.
Simple Explanation
In a notice, the Federal Energy folks said some of their team can't make decisions or join in talks but didn't say why, while a few people like Nicholas and Michael can still decide things.
