Regulations Governing Off-the-Record Communications Public Notice

March 28, 2003.
    This constitutes notice, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.2201(h), of 
the receipt of exempt and prohibited off-the-record communications.
    Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, September 22, 1999) requires Commission 
decisional employees, who make or receive an exempt or a prohibited 
off-the-record communication relevant to the merits of a contested on-
the-record proceeding, to deliver a copy of the communication, if 
written, or a summary of the substance of any oral communication, to 
the Secretary.
    Prohibited communications will be included in a public, non-
decisional file associated with, but not part of, the decisional record 
of the proceeding. Unless the Commission determines that the prohibited 
communication and any responses thereto should become part of the 
decisional record, the prohibited off-the-record communication will not 
be considered by the Commission in

reaching its decision. Parties to a proceeding may seek the opportunity 
to respond to any facts or contentions made in a prohibited off-the-
record communication, and may request that the Commission place the 
prohibited communication and responses thereto in the decisional 
record. The Commission will grant such requests only when it determines 
that fairness so requires. Any person identified below as having made a 
prohibited off-the-record communication should serve the document on 
all parties listed on the official service list for the applicable 
proceeding in accordance with Rule 2010, 18 CFR 385.2010.
    Exempt off-the-record communications will be included in the 
decisional record of the proceeding, unless the communication was with 
a cooperating agency as described by 40 CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR 
385.2201(e)(1)(v).
    The following is a list of exempt communications recently received 
in the Office of the Secretary. The communications listed are grouped 
by docket numbers. These filings are available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``FERRIS'' link.
