Commission's Ex Parte Rules and Other Procedural Rules

In this document the Commission seeks comment on amending the rules to require that notices of ex parte discussions disclose real parties-in-interest. The change was proposed because the existing rules do not enable interested parties to know whose interests are being represented when a contact is made. By requiring the disclosure of this information the proposed amendment would increase transparency and openness in Commission proceedings. The FNPRM was adopted in conjunction with a Report and Order amending the ex parte rules, which is published elsewhere in this Federal Register.
