WECC

A quiet week in the West: four new notices and one comment window closing in the next seven days, the Commission's FERC-603 information collection on November 5.

Corrected November 6, 2026. The first version of this edition listed an October 16, 2027 comment deadline for the City of Pelican, AK notice. That notice asks for no comments; the date concerns the automatic renewal of an annual license. The first version also said nothing closed in the next seven days and left out four open windows. This version lists them and describes the remaining 27 as tracked items rather than open ones.
