Department of Energy February 19, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Commission issues this Final Rule to revise its regulations to delegate authority to the Director of the Commission's Office of Electric Reliability to issue orders extending the period of time for consideration of Notices of Penalty filed by the Electric Reliability Organization. In addition, this Final Rule revises the Commission's regulations to remove the same authority, and certain related authority, that is currently delegated to the Director of the Commission's Office of Enforcement. These revisions are necessary to enable the Commission to process routine, non-controversial Notices of Penalty in a timely and efficient manner.
