## Abstract

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is amending its regulations adopted on an interim basis in Order No. 690, in order to make them clearer and to refocus the rules on the areas where there is the greatest potential for abuse. The Final Rule is designed to foster compliance, facilitate Commission enforcement, and conform the Standards of Conduct to the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit in National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation v. FERC, 468 F. 3d 831 (DC Cir. 2006). Specifically, the Final Rule eliminates the concept of energy affiliates and eliminates the corporate separation approach in favor of the employee functional approach used in Order Nos. 497 and 889.
