The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has issued a notice about off-the-record communications. According to Order No. 607, communications that are prohibited or exempt, involving a contested proceeding, must be shared with the Secretary of the Commission. Prohibited communications are not part of the decision-making record unless the Commission says so, but parties can ask for them to be included if fairness requires it. Exempt communications are normally included in the decision record unless certain exceptions apply. The document lists recent communications received, which can be accessed via FERC’s website.
Simple Explanation
The notice is about keeping track of important conversations that shouldn't be part of a big decision, but people can ask to include them if it's fair, and the list of these talks can be seen on the FERC website.
