§ 1.1203 Sunshine period prohibition.
(a) With respect to any Commission proceeding, all presentations to
decisionmakers concerning matters listed on a Sunshine Agenda, whether
ex parte or not, are prohibited during the period prescribed in
paragraph (b) of this section unless:
(1) The presentation is exempt under § 1.1204(a);
(2) The presentation relates to settlement negotiations and otherwise
complies with any ex parte restrictions in this subpart;
(3) The presentation occurs in the course of a widely attended speech
or panel discussion and concerns a Commission action in an exempt or a
permit-but-disclose proceeding that has been adopted (not including
private presentations made on the site of a widely attended speech or
panel discussion); or
(4) The presentation is made by a member of Congress or his or her
staff, or by other agencies or branches of the Federal government or
their staffs in a proceeding exempt under § 1.1204 or subject to
permit-but-disclose requirements under § 1.1206. If the presentation is
of substantial significance and clearly intended to affect the ultimate
decision, the presentation (or, if oral, a summary of the presentation)
must be placed in the record of the proceeding by Commission staff or
by the presenter in accordance with the procedures set forth in
§ 1.1206(b).
(b) The prohibition set forth in paragraph (a) of this section applies
from the release of a public notice that a matter has been placed on
the Sunshine Agenda until the Commission:
(1) Releases the text of a decision or order relating to the matter;
(2) Issues a public notice stating that the matter has been deleted
from the Sunshine Agenda; or
(3) Issues a public notice stating that the matter has been returned to
the staff for further consideration, whichever occurs first.
