Summary

FERC approved its consent agenda by unanimous roll-call vote, advancing 19 items across electric, gas, hydro and certificate dockets (E1'E10; G1'G3; H1'H4; C1'C2). Commissioners Rosner and Lussert recorded concurrences on certain hydropower items.

At its February open meeting, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved the consent agenda by recorded roll-call vote. The items listed in the Sunshine Act notice and adopted included electric (E1'E10), gas (G1'G3), hydro (H1'H4), and certificate matters (C1'C2). Commissioners Rosner and Lussert filed a joint separate statement concurring with H1; Commissioner Lacerte later noted his concurrence in H2 on the record.

Votes were recorded in sequence: Commissioner Lussert'Aye; Commissioner Chang'Aye; Commissioner Singh'Aye; Commissioner Rosner'"Noting my concurrence on H2, I vote aye"; Chairman Sweatt'Aye. The tally recorded five "ayes," no nays and no abstentions.

Notable items on the consent agenda that commissioners referenced in discussion included the Constellation'Calpine merger matter (E1), adoption of categorical exclusions for certain low-impact hydropower actions (H1/H2), withdrawal of a proposed policy statement concerning oil pipeline affiliated committed service (G1), and upholding an earlier order removing an automatic rehearing-related delay on natural-gas construction authorizations (C2). Several commissioners emphasized that the hydro categorical exclusions were intended to streamline low-impact filings and that the withdrawal of the oil-pipeline policy statement reflected a preference for case-by-case resolution of affiliate issues.

The consent vote advanced the dockets to be processed consistent with the orders adopted and the separate statements filed by certain commissioners. No formal roll-call dissent or defeat was recorded.
