SUMMARY:Energy Law Academy Course 101: FERC Regulation of Natural Gas
DESCRIPTION:The goal of Course 101 is to provide an overview of federal regulation of the natural gas industry by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Taught by industry practitioners and regulators from FERC\, the course begins with a brief overview of the natural gas industry\, including the production\, gathering\, transportation\, distribution\, and storage of natural gas. \n\n\n\nThe course describes key statutes governing and affecting the interstate transportation of natural gas and discusses key legal milestones. Instructors explain important regulatory concepts\, pipeline services\, and the scope and limits of FERC jurisdiction. \n\n\n\nThe course covers key sections of the Natural Gas Act (NGA)\, including imports and exports under Section 3\, construction and abandonment under section 7\, ratemaking under sections 4 and 5\, and enforcement issues. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now (Hybrid – In-Person or Virtual)\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, December 9\n\n\n\n12:30 PM – 12:40 PM Central Time: Welcome and Introduction\n\n\n\n12:40 PM – 1:20 PM Central Time: Historical Perspective and Natural Gas Industry Overview\n\n\n\n\nWhat is natural gas?\n\n\n\nWhere is it produced?\n\n\n\nHow is it used?\n\n\n\nWho’s who in the industry?\n\n\n\nWhat is FERC?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1:20 PM – 2:40 PM: Natural Gas Act Sections 4 & 5: Setting Rates and Terms and Conditions of Service\n\n\n\n\nSections 4 and 5\n\n\n\nFiled Rate and Mobile-Sierra Doctrines\n\n\n\nRate setting objectives\n\n\n\nCost-Based rates vs. Market-based rates\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichael GoldenbergSenior Attorney\, Office of the General CounselFederal Energy Regulatory Commission*Appearing Virtually \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2:40 PM – 3:40 PM: Key Regulatory Concepts\n\n\n\n\nA comparative perspective: Natural Gas Act\, Federal Power Act\, and Interstate Commerce Act\n\n\n\nFiled rate doctrine\n\n\n\nUndue preference or undue discrimination\n\n\n\nJust and reasonable\n\n\n\nIncremental vs. rolled-in rates\n\n\n\nPresent or future public convenience and necessity\n\n\n\nChevron deference to agency decisions\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid D’AlessandroPartnerStinson LLP \n\n\n\n\n\nM.
