OKLAHOMA CITY - The Oklahoma Corporation Commission is closing its offices for a worker furlough day later this week.

The commission's offices will be closed statewide Friday with employees on unpaid furlough because of a budget shortfall.

Employees have already taken unpaid furlough days on Feb. 12 and March 19. The remaining furlough days are April 9, April 30, May 14, May 28, June 1 and June 25.

The estimated savings from the closures is $100,000 a day. The plan is subject to change depending on funding.

The commission has offices in Oklahoma City and Tulsa and oil and gas division offices in Bristow, Kingfisher, Duncan and Ada. The agency regulates oil and natural gas production as well as utilities and telecommunications.
