USSD News
Emails are being sent to you offering to sell you USSD attendee lists. THESE ARE SCAMS!!
USSD does not sell its attendee or membership lists. These emails are a problem for every organization and unfortunately there is no way to stop them. They typically show up when an organization has an upcoming conference or just had one. The attendee lists are fake and do not contain viable information. Please delete them.
A recent email was sent to USSD members requesting that you review and prepare comments on the FERC Notice of Inquiry for Financial Assurance Measures for Hydroelectric Projects (Docket No. RM21-9-000).
USSD RESPONSE DEADLINE: USSD requests your written input by Monday, March 15, 2021 in order to consolidate and provide a formal submittal prior to the close of the comment period. Send to: Sharon Powers at sharon@ussdams.org
Subject: FERC NOI
