transmission or distribution of energy;
2. Could be useful to a person planning
an attack on critical infrastructure;
3. Is exempt from mandatory disclosure
under the Freedom of Information

Visit our Help section to learn How-to file a
CEII Request.
An owner/operator of a facility, including
employees and officers of the
owner/operator, may obtain CEII information
relating to its own facility directly from the
Commission without going through the
procedure outlined below. However, an
agent or representative of an owner/operator
must obtain information from the
owner/operator.
IV. Our Response
Once your request is received, the CEII
Coordinator will determine if the information
is CEII, and if it is, whether to release the
documents to the requester. The
Coordinator will strive to balance your
information needs against the sensitivity of
the information.
If the Coordinator determines that your
request is not CEII, you will be advised of
who you should contact for the information
you have requested. It is possible you may
need to make a FOIA request.
The Procedure
If you are eligible to receive the information
requested, the Coordinator will determine
what conditions, if any, to place on the
release of the information. Where
appropriate, you may be asked to sign a
Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to receive
the information you requested. When you
return the completed NDA the Coordinator
will provide the requested CEII.
If you are unhappy with the Coordinator's
determination regarding your CEII request
you may appeal the decision according to the
procedure set forth in 18 C.F.R § 385.713.

Time
The CEII Coordinator will attempt to respond
in accordance to the timing required for
responses under the Freedom of Information
Act in §388.108 (c), and will provide notice
to the submitter in accordance with
§388.112 (d) and (e). However, the
Coordinator is not legally bound to do so for
CEII requests.
