18 CFR Part 154

[Docket No. RM01-5-000]


Electronic Tariff Filings

AGENCY:  Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, DOE.

ACTION:  Correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY:  This document contains corrections to the final regulations 
that became effective November 3, 2008 (with implementation of the 
requirements beginning April 1, 2010), as published in the subsequent 
editions of the Code of Federal Regulations, including the 2015 
edition.

DATES:  Effective date: August 3, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Wartchow, Office of the 
General Counsel, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 
NE., Washington, DC 20426, Telephone: 202-502-6000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission amended 18 CFR 154.112(a), 
addressing the filing of ``special rate schedules,'' reflecting special 
operating arrangements previously certificated pursuant to part 157 of 
the Commission's regulations (such as for the exchange of natural 
gas).\1\

    \1\ Electronic Tariff Filings, Order No. 714, FERC Stats. & 
Regs. ] 31,276, 73 FR 57515 (2008) (Order No. 714).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As published in the 2015 edition of the Code of Federal 
Regulations, the final regulations (effective November 3, 2008) 
contained an error. Order No. 714 revised the fourth, fifth and sixth 
sentences to reflect new filing requirements. However, the published 
version of 18 CFR 154.112(a) incorrectly retained language from the 
earlier version that should have been superseded. The Commission did 
not intend to retain the superseded sentences. This correcting 
amendment removes the incorrectly-retained language. This correction 
does not affect 18 CFR 154.112(b) which remains unchanged.

List of Subjects in 18 CFR Part 154

    Natural gas, Pipelines, Reporting and record-keeping requirements, 
Natural gas companies, Rate schedules and tariffs.

    Accordingly, 18 CFR part 154 is corrected by making the following 
correcting amendments:

1. The authority citation for part 154 continues to read as follows:

7352.

2. Section 154.112 is corrected by revising paragraph (a) to read as 
follows:


Sec.  154.112  Exception to form and composition of tariff.

    (a) The Commission may permit a special rate schedule to be filed 
in the form of an agreement in the case of a special operating 
arrangement, previously certificated pursuant to part 157 of this 
chapter, such as for the exchange of natural gas. The special rate 
schedule must contain a title page showing the parties to the 
agreement, the date of the agreement, a brief description of services 
to be rendered, and the designation: ``Rate Schedule X-[number].'' 
Special rate schedules may not contain any supplements. Modifications 
must be made by inserting revised sheets, sections or the entire 
document as appropriate. Special rate schedules must be included in a 
separate volume of the tariff. Each such separate volume must contain a 
table of contents which is incorporated as a sheet or section in the 
open access transmission tariff.
