Operative words

The Commission is revising its regulations to delegate authority to the Director of the Office of Energy Policy and Innovation, or the Director's designee, to take appropriate action on motions for extension of time to file, or requests or petitions for waiver of the requirements of, FERC Form No. 552 and FERC-730... On March 13, 2020, the President issued a proclamation declaring a National Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). Entities regulated by the Commission have had to take unprecedented actions in response to the emergency conditions, including directing staff to work remotely for an extended period, which may disrupt, complicate, or otherwise change their normal course of business operations.... this delegation of authority will allow for more efficient processing of and action on motions for extension of time to file, or requests or petitions for waiver related to FERC Form No. 552 and FERC-730.
