DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission


Notice of Change in Available Document Formats for FERC Issuances

August 27, 2002.
    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission hereby gives notice that 
effective September 9, 2002, it will no longer post the scanned image 
version of issuances in its Federal Energy Regulatory Records 
Information System (FERRIS).
    The change applies to orders and notices issued by the Office of 
the Secretary as well as to delegated orders and notices. As a result 
of this change, the signature of the Secretary, Deputy Secretary, 
Office Director, or other official, as appropriate, will no longer 
appear on any of the files viewable and/or downloadable from FERRIS. 
The signed paper copy will continue to be the official copy of record, 
and persons desiring a copy of the signed copy of record for any 
Commission issuance will still be able to request the signed copy from 
the Commission Public Reference Room.
    All issuances will be available in FERRIS for viewing and/or 
download in three file formats: the source document format (WordPerfect 
or Word), Portable Document Format (PDF), and ASCII text format. The 
PDF version will provide the page integrity that was previously 
available only from the scanned image version or an official paper 
copy.
    Elimination of the scanned image file format for issuances will 
result in faster processing of Commission documents into FERRIS.
    For additional information on retrieving a signed copy, please 
contact the Public Reference Room on 2025028371.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Deputy Secretary.
