    Communications with FERC

    FERC strongly encourages electronic filing of communications by all parties during the process. In order to do so, interested parties must have an eRegistration account with FERC. This can be obtained at FERC’s website www.ferc.gov.

However, comments are limited to 6,000 characters and all information must be public. Those wishing to use the ‘Quick Comment’ method can do so by submitting their name and e-mail address at the area shown on the FERC homepage. Detailed instructions on how to use the system will be sent by return e-mail.
