§ 1.1200 Introduction.
(a) Purpose. To ensure the fairness and integrity of its decision-making,
the Commission has prescribed rules to regulate ex parte presentations in
Commission proceedings. These rules specify “exempt” proceedings, in which
ex parte presentations may be made freely (§ 1.1204(b)),
“permit-but-disclose” proceedings, in which ex parte presentations to
Commission decision-making personnel are permissible but subject to certain
disclosure requirements (§ 1.1206), and “restricted” proceedings in which ex
parte presentations to and from Commission decision-making personnel are
generally prohibited (§ 1.1208). In all proceedings, a certain period (”the
Sunshine Agenda period”) is designated in which all presentations to
Commission decision-making personnel are prohibited (§ 1.1203). The
limitations on ex parte presentations described in this section are subject
to certain general exceptions set forth in § 1.1204(a). Where the public
interest so requires in a particular proceeding, the Commission and its
staff retain the discretion to modify the applicable ex parte rules by
order, letter, or public notice. Joint Boards may modify the ex parte rules
in proceedings before them.
(b) Inquiries concerning the propriety of ex parte presentations should be
directed to the Office of General Counsel.
