{"abstract":"The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is amending its regulations to provide for electronic notification of Commission issuances to service list recipients. In most instances, the Commission will now send such notices by e-mail. This change will increase the speed with which participants receive notice, reduce the Commission's costs, and provide for more accurate service lists. Allowance will be made for participants who are unable to utilize e-mail. Other revisions to the Commission's regulations will allow it to send electronic notifications to mailing list recipients once a system for doing so becomes operational. This final rule also makes revisions that are intended to increase the utilization of electronic forms of service between participants, and to clarify the Commission's regulations to ensure that documents with certification or verification requirements may be filed electronically.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY","name":"Energy Department","id":136,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/energy-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/136","parent_id":null,"slug":"energy-department"},{"raw_name":"Federal Energy Regulatory Commission","name":"Federal Energy Regulatory Commission","id":167,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-energy-regulatory-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/167","parent_id":136,"slug":"federal-energy-regulatory-commission"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2005/02/23/05-3476.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":5,"title":18},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":16,"title":18},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":156,"title":18},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":157,"title":18},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":385,"title":18}],"citation":"70 FR 8720","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective Date: The rule will become effective on March 21, 2005.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. RM04-9-000","Order No. 653"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"05-3476","effective_on":"2005-03-21","end_page":8726,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2005/02/23/05-3476.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/02/23/05-3476/electronic-notification-of-commission-issuances","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/05-3476?publication_date=2005-02-23","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2005-02-23/05-3476/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":7,"page_views":{"count":88,"last_updated":"2026-07-28 06:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-02-23/pdf/05-3476.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2005-02-23","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2005/02/23/05-3476.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-11-12T15:26:30Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":8720,"subtype":null,"title":"Electronic Notification of Commission Issuances","toc_doc":"Commission issuances; electronic notification","toc_subject":"Electric utilities (Federal Power Act) and natural gas companies (Natural Gas Act):","topics":["Administrative practice and procedure","Electric power","Electric utilities","Natural gas","Penalties","Pipelines","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements"],"type":"Rule","volume":70}
