I. Background
2. On March 13, 2020, the President

Commission have had to take
unprecedented actions in response to
the emergency conditions, including
directing staff to work remotely for an
extended period, which may disrupt,
complicate, or otherwise change their
normal course of business operations.
The March 19, 2019 Notice Granting
Extension of Time recognized that
entities may seek waiver of the
Commission’s orders, regulations, tariffs
and rate schedules, as appropriate, to
address needs resulting from steps they
have taken in response to COVID–19.1
Regulated entities and the public have
since filed waiver requests.2 This has
prompted the Commission to review its
procedural regulations to ensure that the
Commission’s work is performed in an
efficient manner.

tariffs, rate schedules, and service
agreements to address needs due to
steps movants take in response to
COVID–19.3 This authority will remain
in place until June 1, 2020. This
delegation of authority will allow for
more efficient processing of and action
on these uncontested waiver requests.
The need for efficient processing and
action is particularly important given
the emergency conditions related to
COVID–19, as entities may need to seek
waiver of various requirements with
which they are unable to comply due to
the extraordinary circumstances.4
The Commission orders:
(A) The Commission hereby delegates
to the Director of the Office of Energy
Market Regulation, or the Director’s
designee, further authority to act,
effective as of the date of this order,
until June 1, 2020, as discussed in the
body of this order.
(B) The Secretary is hereby directed to
promptly publish this order in the
Federal Register.
