Abstract
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is amending its rules of practice and procedure (18 CFR part 385) to permit the electronic filing of limited categories of documents in proceedings before the Commission on a voluntary basis. This measure is necessary to further the Commission's goal of reducing the amount of paper that participants in Commission proceedings must file. Increased use of electronic filing will reduce the burden and expense associated with paper filings, and help to make information available to the public in a faster and more efficient manner.
