Red Flag Rule ......

Red Flag Rule Postponed Until May 1, 2009

In order to comply with Federal Trade Commission Rule 16 CFR Part 681.2, known as the Red Flag Rule, all utilities now require that consumers create a password or provide the proper identification to gain access to their account information. Deadline has been extended to May 1, 2009, and due to the number of members that OCEC has, we are requesting that you complete the information needed and return it to the Cooperative either in the envelope with your bill or at any OCEC office.

After May 1, 2009, access to account information without proper identification or password will be denied.
