Notice
Summary
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is sharing updates about off-the-record communications in ongoing cases. If someone talks or writes about a case when they shouldn’t, those messages get logged but usually don’t affect decisions—unless fairness calls for it. This keeps the process fair and transparent, with no extra costs or delays for the public or parties involved.
