Title: Promotion of a More Efficient Capacity Release Market  
Abstract: The Commission issued an order addressing the requests for clarification and/or rehearing in Order No. 712. This order generally denies rehearing and clarifies Order No. 712. Order No. 712 revised Commission regulations governing interstate natural gas pipelines to reflect changes in the market for short-term transportation services on pipelines; improve the efficiency of the Commission's capacity release program; permit market-based pricing for short-term capacity releases; and facilitate asset management arrangements by relaxing the Commission's prohibition on tying and on its bidding requirements for certain capacity releases. The Commission further clarified in the order that its prohibition on tying does not apply to conditions associated with gas inventory held in storage for releases of firm storage capacity or capacity releases made as part of state-approved open access programs. (Docket No. RM08-1-002).
