Public Information

The Public Information Office manages public information pertaining to the Commission and its proceedings through news releases, media relations, social media (Twitter, Facebook) and community presentations.

Information for the Media             

Members of the media should contact the Media & Communications Manager with questions or to obtain information pertaining to the Commission's regulatory process, background, and clarifying information related to Orders as well as all other general information.

If you contact another PSC Department, you may be referred back to the Public Information Office.

The quasi-judicial nature of the Commission precludes comments on matters currently before the body; however, questions pertaining to statutory deadlines for docket decisions, procedures, and background can be satisfied.

All media inquiries should be directed to:

Hearing Room Proceedings

Commission cases are heard in the PSC Hearing Room (unless directed otherwise) located in the PSC Office. These proceedings are open to the public; however, only parties involved in the cases are allowed to participate. Members of  the media may attend and video/photography is permitted, with certain restrictions pertaining to the areas of the room that can be accessed without interrupting the proceedings. It is advised that members of the media arrive at least 15 minutes before scheduled proceedings (unless otherwise directed) to set up equipment unobtrusively.

         

Proceedings may also be live-streamed from the hearing room, and the public is invited to watch online. If a proceeding is to be live-streamed, it will be notated on the Commission Calendar.

The Nebraska Public Service Commission is subject to the Nebraska Open Meetings Act.
