Abstract:
FERC-592 requirements apply to Transmission Providers who are defined as any interstate natural gas pipeline that transports gas for others, subject to the Natural Gas Act (i.e., pursuant to subpart A of Part 157 or subparts B or G of Part 284). See 18 C.F.R. ยงยง358.3(a)(1) and (2). Excluded are natural gas storage providers authorized to charge market-based rates that are not interconnected with the jurisdictional facilities of any affiliated interstate natural gas pipeline, have no exclusive franchise area, no captive ratepayers or no market power. FERC issued the Standards of Conduct to prevent Transmission Providers from discriminating against non-affiliated shippers or from granting undue preferences to their marketing and energy affiliates. FERC revised its reporting requirements to monitor for undue discrimination. The information is also used by FERC, market participants and state commissions to monitor discrimination by pipeline companies favoring their marketing affiliates and as the basis of filing of a complaint.
