responses to the NOI at the request of several major trade associations 
involved in energy infrastructure.

ADDRESSES: Office of the Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 1st Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.

Rule Regarding Critical Energy Infrastructure Information and 
Policy Statement on the Treatment of Previously Public Documents; 
Notice of Extension of Time

    On March 5, 2002, the Alliance of Energy Suppliers (Alliance), 
Edison Electric Institute (EEI), Electric Power Supply Association 
(EPSA), Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA), and 
National Hydropower Association (NHA) filed a joint request for an 
extension of time to file comments in response to the Commission's 
Notice of Inquiry and Guidance for Filings in the Interim issued 
January 16, 2002, in Docket No. RM02-4-000. The motion states that 
because the issues addressed in the NOI are of significant importance 
to each of the associations joining in this request and because each 
represents major sectors of the energy industry that will be directly 
affected by Commission's policy on Critical Energy Infrastructure 
Information, additional time is needed to allow the associations to 
pursue further discussions and to prepare complete responses to the 
NOI.
    Upon consideration, notice is hereby given that an extension of 
time for filing responses to the Commission's January 16, 2002, NOI is 
granted to and including March 25, 2002.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
