View Rule

The Commission amended its regulations to provide explicit authority to interstate natural gas pipelines and public utilities that own, operate, or control facilities used for the transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce to share nonpublic, operational information with each other for the purpose of promoting reliable service or operational planning on either the public utility's or pipeline's system. The revised regulations will help maintain the reliability of pipeline and public utility transmission service by permitting transmission operators to share information with each other that they deem necessary to promote the reliability and integrity of their systems. The Final Rule adopted the regulations proposed in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking without modification. In the Order on Rehearing, the Commission denied requests to reconsider or clarify the Final Rule issued on November 15, 2013, in Order No. 787 (Docket Nos. RM13-17-000 and RM13-17-001).
