Two electricity windows close in the next seven days: the Commission's FERC-516 information collection today and the final ballot on NERC's 2025-01 Canadian-Specific Revisions to EOP-012-3 on October 5. The real business is parked later in October, when seven Commission information collections and a NERC standards deadline come due in quick succession.

Corrected November 7, 2026. The first version of this edition said nothing closed this week and called October 15 the nearest comment deadline. It also left out other open electricity windows. This version lists them and describes the 30 as tracked items rather than open ones.

The through line: October, all at once

After the two closings below, the next electricity comment deadline is October 15, 2026, and it is not traveling alone. Four extensions of the Commission's information collections close that same day, a fifth follows on October 16, a sixth on October 19, and the FERC-725S information collection and NERC's Standards Processes Manual revisions close October 26.

The last seven days brought five new items, four of them Federal Register notices. Opened September 25: the final ballot on NERC's 2025-01 Canadian-Specific Revisions to EOP-012-3, closing October 5. Published September 24: a notice of application accepted for filing, soliciting motions to intervene and protests, for GR Catalyst One, LLC, and a notice of application establishing an intervention deadline for Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC. Published September 23: a notice of scoping comment sessions for Pontook Operating Limited Partnership and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, and a notice of application establishing an intervention deadline for High Island Offshore System, L.L.C.
