View Rule

On rehearing, the Commission reaffirmed its basic determinations in Order No. 790 and modified and clarified certain aspects of the Final Rule. Order No. 790 amended the Commission’s regulations to clarify that auxiliary installations added to existing or proposed interstate transmission facilities under the Commission’s regulations must be located within the authorized right-of-way or site for existing facilities or the right-of-way or site to be used for facilities proposed in a pending application for case-specific certificate authority or in a prior notice filing under the Commission’s blanket certificate regulations and use only the same temporary work space that was or will be used to construct the existing or proposed facilities. Order No. 790 also codified the common industry practice of notifying landowners prior to coming onto their property to undertake projects, or certain replacements, or certain maintenance activities (Docket No. RM12-11-002).
