Abstract
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is denying a request for rehearing of its 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. (61 FR 39053 (July 26, 1996)). The order reaffirms the Commission's determination to incorporate by reference into its regulations standards promulgated by the Gas Industry Standards Board.
