Abstract
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is issuing a final rule revising the Commission's regulations to require interstate natural gas pipelines to follow standardized procedures for critical business practices--nominations; allocations, balancing, and measurement; invoicing; and capacity release--and standardized mechanisms for electronic communication between the pipelines and those with whom they do business. The regulations incorporate by reference the standards issued by the Gas Industry Standards Board (GISB).
