[Federal Register Volume 64, Number 172 (Tuesday, September 7, 1999)] [Notices] [Page 48615] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 99-23089] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. PL99-4-000] Public Access to Information; Notice of Y2K Docket Number Format August 31, 1999. Take notice that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is clarifying its docketing procedures for new dockets created in Fiscal Year 2000, which begins October 1, 1999. The Commission will issue documents with the year component of the docket number expressed as a 2-digit number. The year 2000 will appear as ``00'' in all FY2000 docket numbers that contain a fiscal year component. For example, the first docket number assigned to a pipeline certificate application on October 1, 1999, will be CP00-1-000. Similarly, for an electric rate filing, the first docket number will be ER00-1-000. Some filings (including those in TM dockets) submitted before October 1, 1999, in order to become effective on or after the date have already received the ``00'' docket number. The docketing format for hydropower licensing project (``P'' docket prefix) is not affected since it does not contain a year component. Retaining the current display format for docket numbers will minimize the impact of Y2K transition issues for the Commission, regulated entities, and others by reducing or eliminating the need for change to existing systems.
