More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff. Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche.

    OKLAHOMA CORPORATION COMMISSION 308 Jim Thorpe Building 2101 NORTH LINCOLN Telephone: (405) 521-2267 OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA 73105 FAX: (405) 522-1623 News from Commissioner Dana Murphy For Further Information, Contact: Billie Rodely or Teryl Williams (405) 521- 2267 BUILDING A FUTURE Incoming Commission chair Dana Murphy makes economic development, regulatory and technological reforms top priorities (Oklahoma City) Citing proper funding, regulatory reform and economic development as among her top priorities, Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner Dana Murphy will begin serving as chair of the Commission effective January 3, 2011. She follows Commissioner Bob Anthony as chairman. “It makes no sense that the only agency charged with fostering the development and regulation of the Oklahoma petroleum industry, the industry which generates some of the most significant revenue for our state, fails to be provided with funding to hire a sufficient number of field inspectors and technical personnel to oversee regulation,” Murphy said. “At a time when it is critical to prevent state regulation of Oklahoma oil and gas development from being usurped by one size fits all federal regulation, we must not allow failure to properly fund our agency become a primary reason for agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) taking over regulation of the Oklahoma petroleum industry. “One of my top priorities will be to work with the legislature, the industry and my fellow Commissioners to create a plan to not only tackle the long term funding shortfall of our Commission oil and gas division, but also to bring our state regulatory scheme into the modern technology age with electronic filing of all applications and forms by entities regulated by the Commission.

    News from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission Matt Skinner, Public Information Phone: (405) 521-4180 [email protected] August 3, 2009 OPEN FOR BUSINESS Corporation Commissioners praise effort that results in canceling of furloughs (Oklahoma City) Thanks to efforts to allow the agency to broaden its use of existing revenue and internal cost cutting, plans to close all offices of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission one day a month and place employees on unpaid leave have been canceled. Commission Vice-Chairman Jeff Cloud called the cancellation “the result of extraordinary commitment and cooperation.” “Legislative and administration officials worked closely with us in our efforts to keep the doors open for business,” said Cloud. “We are grateful for the support shown by Governor Henry, Oklahoma Treasurer Scott Meacham, House Speaker Chris Benge, Senate President Pro-Tem Glenn Coffee, and House Appropriations and Budget Committee Chairman Ken Miller.” Commissioner Dana Murphy agreed. “We went to these officials and others to explain the seriousness of the situation and develop solutions,” Murphy said. “They responded, recognizing the concerns of those who do business in the state and know first-hand the negative impact closing the agency would have on business and the state’s economy.” Commission Chairman Bob Anthony said the agency can now move forward. “Given this agency’s many responsibilities, we always have a very full plate,” noted Anthony. “However, the current economic and energy challenges faced by the state make it more important than ever that the agency be able to devote its full attention to the issues and problems at hand.” Because of a funding shortfall, Commission Director of Administration Brooks Mitchell had scheduled the closure of the agency and the furlough of employees for one day a month from August through January, 2010.

  • Call Before You Dig 04/09/2020
    News from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission Todd Hiett Dana Murphy Bob Anthony Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner April 9, 2020 Contact: Matt Skinner Public Information 405-521-4180 [email protected] CALL BEFORE YOU DIG April is National Safe Digging Month, and with millions of Americans now at home because of COVID-19, work outdoor projects is expected to start earlier than ever this year. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission is reminding Oklahomans that any outdoor digging project this spring should start with a phone call. Commission Chairman Todd Hiett says dialing 8-1-1 can save you from a terrible accident. “There’s more than just earth beneath your feet,” Hiett said. “Oklahoma has thousands of miles of buried pipeline and utility cable. The only way to be sure you won’t hit those lines is to have them located and marked. All you have to do is dial 8-1-1 or 1 (800) 522-OKIE and the OKIE 811 service will take it from there. It doesn’t matter if you’re planning on digging one hole or one hundred, digging without first dialing 8-1-1 or 1-800-522-OKIE puts you and others at risk for serious injury and could result in major damage to critical pipelines and utility service.” Commission Vice Chairman Bob Anthony warns that even a shallow hole can be dangerous. “Many people wrongly think that they should only check with OKIE 811 if they are digging a deep hole,” Anthony said. “You can hit a line even if you’re digging relatively shallow holes, such as those for planting a small tree or a mailbox post.

    901 New York Avenue NW, Suite 510 Washington, DC 20001 p 202.293.0537 www.energystorage.org October 19, 2020 Chairman Todd Hiett Vice-Chairman Bob Anthony Commissioner Dana Murphy Oklahoma Corporation Commission P.O. Box 52000 Oklahoma City, OK 73152-2000 RE: NOTICE OF INQUIRY, CAUSE NO. PUD 202000083, REGARDING THE AREA OF ENERGY STORAGE Honorable Chairman Hiett and fellow Commissioners, The U.S. Energy Storage Association (“ESA”) thanks the Commission for its attention to energy storage as an area of inquiry regarding maximizing and developing resources in Oklahoma. ESA looks forward to supporting the Commission in its investigation of this important energy technology. ESA is the national trade association dedicated to energy storage, working toward a more resilient, efficient, sustainable and affordable electricity grid – as is uniquely enabled by energy storage. With more than 200 members, ESA represents a diverse group of companies, including independent power producers, electric utilities, energy service companies, financiers, insurers, law firms, installers, manufacturers, component suppliers, and integrators involved in deploying energy storage systems around the globe. Further, our members work with all types of energy storage technologies and chemistries, including lithium-ion, advanced lead-acid, flow batteries, zinc-air, compressed air, liquid air, and pumped hydro among others. Several ESA member companies do business in Oklahoma, with some making initial plans for energy storage installations in the state. In simplest terms, all energy storage technologies enable electricity to be used when it is most needed, regardless of when it was generated. Without that storage capacity, the electric grid must be overbuilt with significant spare capacity to manage supply and demand fluctuations, resulting in system inefficiencies, underutilization of assets, and avoidable costs to ratepayers, which detracts from economic productivity.
