This is a document prepared by a FERC office, and addressed to the Commission, summarizing the facts and issues of a matter, defining options for Commission action and usually offering recommendations. The content of a Commission memo frequently is incorporated in or serves as the basis for an order issued by the Commission in its disposition of the matter.
This is a document authored by FERC staff and addressed to other staff as a wholly internal document of a general nature relating to FERC regulatory activities. Internal memo are the work papers of the FERC staff.
This document is a summary prepared by FERC staff identifying the time and date, subject and other parties to a telephone conversation (telecon). In some instances, when the memo summarizes a telecon with an external party, and when the subject is deemed to have possible ex parte ramifications, the memo is identified as a public document.
This is a memo or routing slip prepared by FERC staff to transmit documents or materials to other staff or to another FERC office. A transmittal memo normally routes documents without descriptive or substantive content.
Frequent examples of documents of the internal transmittal class are memoranda that transmit work papers and records from the Project Review Division to Project Compliance and Administration Division upon the issuance of a license or exemption from licensing, or from one of the five regional offices through Dam Safety and Inspection Division to Project Review or Project Compliance.
The internal transmittal class does not include memoranda transmitting the file containing documents and records compiled for an audit and investigation of alleged non-compliance with the terms of a license or exemption from licensing. Such a transmittal of the file of license violations is a document in the class of a Non-compliance Memo.
This is a memorandum prepared by one of the five regional offices and addressed to Project Compliance and Administration Division, routed through Dam Safety and Inspection Division, transferring the aggregated documents and records concerning an alleged violation of or non-compliance with the terms of a license or exemption from licensing. The collected documents records, memoranda and internal work papers relating to compliance constitute the Compliance History Record maintained by OHL for a specified project. The Compliance History Record is the basis of the Compliance Audit Summary as well as the non-compliance memo. The Non-compliance Memo and the accompanying file constitute a single document and are not entered separately into the current eLibrary database.
