Petition for Rulemaking To Update Commission Regulations Regarding Allocation of Interstate Pipeline Capacity

In this Petition for rulemaking, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) seeks additional information concerning the practices of interstate natural gas pipelines related to the packaging of non-contiguous and/or operationally unrelated segments of capacity in a single auction or open season and the aggregation of bids across those segments to determine the highest value bid for the purpose of allocating capacity, as well as comment on whether the Commission should continue to allow such practices.
