Records Governing Off-the-Record
Communications Public Notice
September 23, 2005.
This constitutes notice, in accordance
with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of the receipt
of prohibited and exempt off-the-record
communications.
Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222,
September 22, 1999) requires
Commission decisional employees, who
make or receive a prohibited or exempt
off-the-record communication relevant
to the merits of a contested proceeding,

communication, if written, or a
summary of the substance of any oral
communication.
Prohibited communications are
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
Docket No.

official service list for the applicable
proceeding in accordance with Rule
2010, 18 CFR 385.2010.

Standards of Conduct for

Non-Statutory Deadlines; Notice
Granting Extension of Time To Comply
With Posting and Other Requirements
September 23, 2005.
In anticipation of Hurricane Rita
creating emergency conditions in Texas
and Louisiana, the Commission is
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 205001
granting the following extensions of
time and waivers. Section 358.4(a)(2) of
the Commission’s Standards of Conduct
regulations allows transmission
providers to ‘‘take whatever steps are
necessary to keep the system[s] in
operation’’ notwithstanding any of the
other requirements. 18 CFR 358.4(a)(2)
(2005). Section 358.4(a)(2) also
provides: ‘‘Transmission Providers must
report to the Commission and post on
the OASIS or Internet Web site, as
applicable, each emergency that
resulted in any deviation from the
standards of conduct, within 24 hours of
such deviation.’’ As a result of the
emergency, the Commission will allow
affected transmission providers in the
geographic area affected by Hurricane
Rita to delay compliance with the
section 358.4(a)(2) reporting
requirement until October 7, 2005.

The Commission will also waive,
until October 7, 2005, the requirement

deviation of the Standards of Conduct.
In addition, pursuant to section
385.2008 of the Commission’s Rules of
Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR
385.2008 (2005), the Commission finds
good cause to extend, until October 7,
2005, non-statutory deadlines that occur
before that date for participants in
proceedings pending before the
Commission who are in the geographic
area affected by Hurricane Rita and need
such extensions on account of the
Hurricane.
