issued a notice granting, among other things, waiver through May 1, 
2020 of the Commission's regulations that govern the form of filings 
submitted to the Commission to the extent entities are unable to meet 
those requirements due to the emergency conditions caused by Novel 
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). On May 8, 2020, the Secretary waived 
through September 1, 2020, the

Commission's regulations that require that filings with the Commission 
be notarized or supported by sworn declarations.
    Given the ongoing emergency conditions caused by COVID-19, there is 
good cause to waive through and including January 29, 2021,\1\ the 
Commission's regulations that require that filings with the Commission 
be notarized or supported by sworn declarations.\2\

    \1\ See also Temporary Action to Facilitate Social Distancing, 
172 FERC ] 61,151 (2020) (waiving notarization requirements through 
January 29, 2021, contained in any tariff, rate schedule, service 
agreement, or contract subject to the Commission's jurisdiction 
under the Federal Power Act, the Natural Gas Act, or the Interstate 
Commerce Act).
    \2\ For example, Commission regulations require certain filings 
with the Commission be supported by a sworn declaration, and we 
recognize that steps an entity has taken to address the coronavirus 
may prevent the filing from containing such a declaration. See, 
e.g., 18 CFR 45.7 (2019).

     Dated: August 20, 2020.

Secretary.
