The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has issued a public notice about receiving specific off-the-record communications related to contested proceedings. According to rules, these communications are divided into two categories: prohibited and exempt. Prohibited communications are not included in the official decision-making records unless required for fairness, while exempt communications typically become part of those records unless made with a cooperating agency. The notice invites the public to view these communications on the Commission's website and provides contact information for further assistance.
