Graphic titled “What is FERC?”
Text explains: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or the Commission) is an independent federal agency that regulates key aspects of the electricity, natural gas, and oil industries. FERC also reviews proposals to build liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals, and interstate natural gas pipelines as well as licensing hydropower projects.

The lower section, boxed in yellow, is titled “Where Does OPP Fit In?”
Text explains: FERC’s Office of Public Participation (OPP) is here to help you understand how FERC works, what industries or programs it covers, and how to participate in FERC proceedings. The OPP logo appears in the bottom-right corner.
