## Abstract

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is issuing an order addressing the requests for rehearing of Order No. 637 [65 FR 10156, Feb. 25, 2000]. Order No. 637 revised Commission regulations to enhance the competitiveness and efficiency of the interstate pipeline grid. The order revised Commission pricing policies by waiving price ceilings for short-term released capacity for a two year period and, permitting pipelines to file for peak/off-peak and term differentiated rate structures. It also effected changes in regulations relating to scheduling procedures, capacity segmentation, pipeline imbalance processes and penalties, pipeline reporting requirements, and the right of first refusal. The rehearing order largely denies rehearing on these issues, but grants rehearing, in part, to make clarifying adjustments to the regulations regarding penalties, reporting requirements, and the right of first refusal.
