In RM01-10-000, the Commission is
amending and consolidation its regulations governing standards of
conduct for natural gas pipe- lines and transmitting public
utilities (jointly to be called transmission providers). FERC is
proposing to adopt one set of standards of conduct to govern the
relationships between regula- ted transmission providers and all
their energy affiliates. The new standards will encompass an
expansion of the current defini- tion of affiliates as contained in
FERC's regulations. The pro- posed changes in FERC's regulations
are in response to the chang- ing structure of the energy
industry.
