## Abstract

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is granting clarification of Order No. 587-L (65 FR 41873), which established November 1, 2000, as the date by which pipelines are required to comply with the regulation requiring them to permit shippers to offset imbalances on different contracts held by the shipper and to trade imbalances. (18 CFR 284.12(c)(2)(ii)). The order clarifies that pipelines on which shippers do not incur imbalances and are not subject to imbalance penalties need not implement imbalance trading on their systems.
