FERC: Even Off-the-Record Chats Must Be Logged – Irony Alert!

Published Date: 4/24/2026

Notice

Summary

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is reminding everyone that certain off-the-record chats about ongoing cases must be recorded and shared properly. If a communication is 'prohibited,' it won’t affect decisions unless fairness calls for it, while 'exempt' ones do count. This keeps the process fair and transparent, affecting all parties involved, with no new costs or deadlines beyond usual filing rules.
