Title: Amendment of the Commission's Ex Parte Rules and Other Procedural Rules 
Abstract: The ex parte process allows parties in most Commission proceedings to speak directly (or have written communications) with Commission staff and decisionmakers, providing a way to have an interactive dialogue that can root out areas of concern, address gaps in understanding, identify weaknesses in the record, discuss alternative approaches, and generally lead to more informed decisionmaking. In this proceeding, we seek ways to improve our ex parte and other procedural rules to make the Commission's decisionmaking processes more open, transparent, and effective.
