Re: Current blog draft and Q&A Thanks Steve. This looks fine and, given yesterday's decision and public availability of all related documents today, I support approval and issued today (as is).

That said, I read this on my iPhone, so the pagination opportunities I see may be due to conformance with a Maas 360 format.

Have a great day!

Vic

Current blog draft and Q&A Mr. McCree. I hope that the day is treating you well.

In follow up, and pursuant to our conversations, attached are two documents that we plan to use in response to the pending backfit decision.

As discussed, there was a consensus that issuing a press release on the decision was not the preferred choice at this time . With that said , we will prepare a brief shovel-ready press release to be used in the event that we need to issue one.

Our plan is to post publicly a blog (attached) . If needed, we will aggressively push it to the usual media beat reporters.

I also have attached a Q&A which would be used only in response to query (RTQ). We also are discussing whether to post the Q&A on the web site hyperlinked from the blog to provide the necessary resources for reporters to write with accuracy. We, supported by the Chairman's office, agreed that if we felt the need for a more in-depth discussion w ith media, you would be the ideal choice , naturally, staffed by OPA and whomever in your shop you feel comfortable to provide the necessary support.

With your help, we did our absolute best to prepare these documents in p lain language, conscious of the importance of not ignoring important facts or distorting context, yet eliminating any ambiguity associated with NRG-centric terminology.

Once you and your team have reviewed, the blog and the Q&A will be shared with the Chairman for his review and comment.

Thanks sir, for understanding our position on this matter. We opted to err on the side of caution in the preparation and distribution of messaging. We will await confirmation of the decision and the timing of the post.

Note: These documents were prepared by OPA's Scott Burnell and reviewed by both Holly Harrington and me.

Holly and I discussed this strategy at length and feel comfortable that this is the correct strategy. I have copied Messrs. Dacus and Calgary for awareness.

Subject:

OEDO-16-00S47 9-14-16 Exelon drop-in.docx publicly available in ADAMS as Attachments:

ML16244A234.

Ed, As I mentioned to you earlier today, I reviewed the briefing package. The content was quite good- thanks. I made some formatting changes and rearranged/shortened some of the information, especially where I know people just received additional background via hearing 1-pagers and such. I accepted the formatting changes in the attached but tracked the others. Can you please check them over for me quickly? I need to get the package to the Commission offices today if possible.

Once it is good with you, please updat e in ADAMS (or loop back with me if any major issues}. Typica lly the office also makes copies (8 double-sided and 2 single-sided would be good} of just the package part, not the memo on top.

Ron- here's the draft we discussed over the phone. It's almost done, and t he DIRS pieces look good t o me (not sure if DORL worked with Jo or not}.

Thanks again for the great w ork on this.

RE: FYI FW: Current blog draft and Q&A Importance: High Gary; Just double-checking - are you signing off for the EDO's office as a whole?

Also, we've realized there should be another Q&A about how much the original backfit analysis and both appeals cost in billable staff hours and who it was billed to -- what's the best way to figure that out? Thanks.
