Commission and must provide a copy to
the applicant and to every other party in
the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
project should submit an original and
two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list and will be
notified of any meetings associated with
the Commission’s environmental review
process. Environmental commenters
will not be required to serve copies of
filed documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commenters
will not receive copies of all documents
filed by other parties or issued by the
Commission and will not have the right
to seek court review of the
Commission’s final order.
As of the February 27, 2018 date of
the Commission’s order in Docket No.
CP16–4–001, the Commission will
apply its revised practice concerning
out-of-time motions to intervene in any
new Natural Gas Act section 3 or section
7 proceeding.1 Persons desiring to
become a party to a certificate
proceeding are to intervene in a timely
manner. If seeking to intervene out-oftime, the movant is required to ‘‘show
good cause why the time limitation
should be waived,’’ and should provide
justification by reference to factors set
forth in Rule 214(d)(1) (18 CFR
385.214(d)(1)) of the Commission’s
Rules and Regulations.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings of comments, protests
and interventions in lieu of paper using
the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at https://
www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file
electronically may mail similar
pleadings to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street
NE, Washington, DC 20426. Hand
delivered submissions in docketed
proceedings should be delivered to
Health and Human Services, 12225
Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, Maryland

Records Governing Off-the-Record
Communications; Public Notice
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,
to deliver to the Secretary of the
Commission, a copy of the
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
Docket Nos.
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 are 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 off-therecord communications recently
received by the Secretary of the
Commission. The communications
listed are grouped by docket numbers in
ascending order. In addition to
publishing the full text of this document
in the Federal Register, the Commission
provides all interested persons an

I. Introduction
1. On September 28, 2018, Congress
passed ‘‘An Act to amend section 203 of
the Federal Power Act’’ (Act) in Public
Law 115–247. As discussed in further
detail below, the Act resulted in two
changes to section 203 of the Federal
Power Act (FPA).1 The Act also directed
the Commission to issue a report,
subject to notice and comment, on the
changes to FPA section 203 and to
submit that report to Congress. As
discussed below, interested persons
may submit comments on this report by
June 29, 2020.
II. Background
A. Public Law 115–247
2. Section 1 of the Act amended
section 203(a)(1)(B) 2 to provide that no
public utility shall, without first having
secured an order of the Commission
authorizing it to do so, merge or
consolidate, directly or indirectly, its
facilities subject to the jurisdiction of
the Commission, or any part thereof,
with the facilities of any other person,
or any part thereof, that are subject to
the jurisdiction of the Commission and
have a value in excess of $10 million,
by any means whatsoever. Section 3 of
the Act provided that the amendment to
section 203(a)(1)(B) shall take effect 180
days after the date of the enactment of
the Act, i.e., March 28, 2019. The
primary effect of this amendment was to
establish a $10 million threshold for
