What OPP Does

Bringing People to FERC

If you are interested in participating in a FERC proceeding, have a question about a FERC proceeding, or want to learn more about FERC and its role as a federal regulatory agency in the energy sector, OPP is here to help.

OPP can support you in your efforts to:

• Understand the industries FERC regulates and the limits of FERC jurisdiction;
• Find the FERC matter that relates to your concern, by docket number;
• File a comment, intervene, and participate in a FERC matter;
• Determine filing deadlines and understand FERC processes; and
• Find documents filed at FERC and previous FERC decisions.

OPP helps people use existing FERC filing systems and document libraries, as well as explores ways to make those systems easier to use.

Bringing FERC to People

In addition to responding to inquiries, OPP conducts outreach to communities and organizations that are new to FERC processes to facilitate greater understanding of FERC processes and solicit broader participation in matters before FERC.

OPP regularly attends public meetings—visiting with community organizations and delivering presentations around the country to encourage more participation in, and understanding of, FERC matters.
