Sec.  1051.6  Documents not considered petitions.

    (a) A document filed with the Commission which addresses a topic or 
involves a product outside the jurisdiction of the Commission will not 
be considered to be a petition. After consultation with the Office of 
the General Counsel, the Office of the Secretary, if appropriate, will 
forward to the appropriate agency documents which address products or 
topics within the jurisdiction of other agencies. The Office of the 
Secretary shall notify the sender of the document that it has been 
forwarded to the appropriate agency.
    (b) Any other documents filed with the Office of the Secretary that 
are determined by the Office of the General Counsel not to be petitions 
shall be evaluated for possible staff action. The Office of the General 
Counsel shall notify the writer of the manner in which the Commission 
staff is treating the document. If the writer has indicated an intention 
to petition the Commission, the Office of the General Counsel shall 
inform the writer of the procedure to be followed for petitioning.
