## Abstract

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is issuing this final rule amending its regulations for gaining access to Critical Energy Infrastructure Information (CEII). The definition of CEII is being clarified to exclude information that the Commission never intended to be deemed as containing critical infrastructure information. In addition, procedural changes are being made based on over three years experience processing CEII requests. These changes simplify the procedures for obtaining access to CEII without increasing vulnerability of the energy infrastructure.
