The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 18 CFR 380after this date.
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
Comments are due March 5, 2013.
18 CFR Parts 2 and 380
The Natural Gas Act (NGA) requires that prior to the construction or extension of any natural gas facilities, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) must issue a certificate that authorizes a natural gas company to undertake the proposed activity. However, under the Commission's regulations, the construction of auxiliary installations or replacement facilities, while subject to the Commission's NGA jurisdiction, are not treated as the construction or extension of facilities, and thus do not require certificate authorization. The Commission proposes to revise its regulations to clarify that all activities related to the construction of auxiliary installations and replacement facilities must take place within a company's certificated right-of-way using previously approved work spaces. In addition, the Commission proposes to add landowner notification requirements for auxiliary installations, replacement facilities, and other jurisdictional activities performed within the right-of-way.
