Off-the-Record Communications
In Order
No. 607 [TIF] (issued September 15, 1999), the Commission
revises its rules concerning communications between persons outside
the Commission and the Commission and its employees. The revised
regulations, presented here in reverse chronological order, are
designed to clarify ambiguities in the existing ex-parte
rules, and to provide better guidance on what communications to
and from the Commission are permissible and what communications
are prohibited.
