2014-07-29; vol. 79 # 145 - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 79 FR 43994 - Natural Gas Act Pipeline Maps
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Notice of proposed rulemaking. Comments are due September 29, 2014. 18 CFR Part 154 Summary The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) is proposing to amend the filing requirements for natural gas pipeline system maps. Under current regulations, natural gas pipelines must include a system map as part of their tariff on file with the Commission, and file an updated map by the following April for any year that there is a major change in the pipeline's system. Additionally, this map must be posted on the pipeline's own Web site. In order to reduce regulatory burden on these pipelines, the Commission proposes to eliminate the requirement to file a map as part of the tariff, leaving only the requirement to maintain a map on the pipeline's own Web site. Furthermore, in order to promote transparency, the Commission proposes to change the deadline for updating system maps. Currently, if a pipeline experiences a major change that renders its existing map obsolete, it must make a tariff filing no later than April 30 of the subsequent calendar year. The Commission proposes a quarterly deadline for updating pipeline maps.
