[Docket No. RM98-1-000]


Regulations Governing Off-the-Record Communications; Public 
Notice

September 29, 2003.
    This constitutes notice, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), 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 prohibited off-
the-record communication relevant to the merit's 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 a part of, the decisional 
record of the proceeding. Unless the Commission determines that the 
prohibited communication and any responses thereto should become a 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 a request only when it determines that fairness so requires. 
Any person identified below as having made a prohibited off-the-record 
communication shall 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 prohibited and 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 eLibrary
