Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
Federal agency responsible for regulations under Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
31 regulationsImplementation of the Executive Order Entitled “Zero-Based Regulatory Budgeting to Unleash American Energy”; Correction
This regulation implements an executive order requiring the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to use 'zero-based budgeting' for new energy regulations, meaning agencies must justify every rule from scratch rather than building on existing ones. The goal is to reduce regulatory requirements in the energy sector to increase energy production and lower costs for consumers.
Transfer of Delegation of Authority: Office of Energy Policy and Innovation to the Office of Technical Reporting and Economics and the Office of the General Counsel
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is reorganizing its internal structure by moving responsibilities for energy policy and innovation work from one office to two other offices: the Office of Technical Reporting and Economics and the Office of the General Counsel. This change is an internal management decision that affects how FERC operates but shouldn't directly impact energy consumers or businesses.
Annual Update of Filing Fees
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is adjusting the fees that companies must pay when they file applications and documents with the agency. These annual fee updates help FERC cover the costs of reviewing energy projects like power plants and pipelines, and the changes may affect how much energy companies spend on regulatory compliance.
Five-Year Review of the Oil Pipeline Index; Correction
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is reviewing and correcting its Oil Pipeline Index, which tracks information about oil pipelines operating across the United States. This update helps ensure the index accurately reflects current pipeline operations and helps the government and public understand the nation's oil transportation system.
Implementation of the Executive Order Entitled Zero-Based Regulatory Budgeting to Unleash American Energy; Partial Recission
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is partially reversing a Trump administration order that aimed to reduce energy regulations by requiring agencies to eliminate old rules whenever they create new ones. This change allows FERC to maintain more flexibility in how it manages energy infrastructure and environmental protections.
Safe Harbor Policy for Data Providers to Price Index Developers
This FERC regulation creates legal protections for companies that provide data to organizations developing energy price indexes, encouraging them to share information without fear of lawsuits. The rule aims to improve price transparency in energy markets while protecting data providers from liability.
Authorizations for Certain Activities at Liquefied Natural Gas Plants
This is a proposed rule from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that would establish new permissions and guidelines for certain operations at liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants, which convert natural gas into liquid form for storage and transportation. The rule matters because LNG facilities are important energy infrastructure that affects energy prices, jobs, and environmental conditions in communities where these plants operate.
Supplemental Review of the Oil Pipeline Index Level; Withdrawal
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is withdrawing a previous proposal to review how it measures oil pipeline costs and rates. This decision affects how much companies can charge to transport oil through pipelines and ultimately impacts gas prices and shipping costs for consumers.
Duty of Candor; Withdrawal
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is proposing a rule that requires companies involved in energy projects to be honest and straightforward when dealing with the agency, and establishes a process for these companies to withdraw from projects if needed. This rule aims to ensure the energy sector operates transparently and allows for fair project exits when circumstances change.
Five-Year Review of the Oil Pipeline Index
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is reviewing how it tracks and measures oil pipeline performance every five years to ensure the index remains accurate and useful. This review helps the government monitor whether oil pipelines are operating safely and efficiently, which can affect energy prices and supply reliability for American consumers.
Standards for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines
This proposed rule sets new standards for how natural gas pipeline companies operating across state lines must conduct business, including how they treat customers and handle disputes. The changes aim to make the pipeline industry more transparent and fair in their dealings with energy suppliers and consumers who depend on natural gas.
Implementation of the Executive Order Entitled "Zero-Based Regulatory Budgeting to Unleash American Energy"
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is proposing new rules to reduce the number and cost of regulations related to energy production and infrastructure. The goal is to streamline the approval process for energy projects, which the administration believes will help increase American energy production and lower energy costs.
