## Abstract

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is amending Sec. 284.10 of its regulations governing standards for conducting business practices and electronic communication with interstate natural gas pipelines. The Commission is incorporating by reference, in Sec. 284.10(b), the most recent version (Version 1.2) of standards promulgated by the Gas Industry Standards Board (GISB). The Commission also is adopting, in new Sec. 284.10(c), regulations, not developed by GISB, governing intra-day nominations, operational balancing agreements (OBAs), netting and trading of imbalances, standardization of communications over the public Internet, and notices of operational flow orders. These business practices and communication standards supplement standards adopted by the Commission in Order Nos. 587, 587-B, and 587-C. 61 FR 39053 (Jul. 26, 1996) 62 FR 5521 (Feb. 6, 1997), 62 FR 10684 (Mar. 10, 1997).
