This virtual program will feature two panels. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now!\n\n\n\n\n1:00 – 2:00 PM (ET): Environmental issues in approving new natural gas infrastructure.  \n\n\n\nThis session will cover ongoing developments in FERC’s analysis of need for\, and environmental issues surrounding\, new natural gas facilities. These include the tension between state and federal views on the need for new pipeline facilities\, and assessments of greenhouse gas emissions. \n\n\n\n\nSteve Hatridge\, Vice President & Assistant General Counsel\, The Williams Companies\, Inc. \n\n\n\nSam Backfield\, Legal Counsel – Commissioner Christie\, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission\n\n\n\nJustin Gundlach\, Senior Advisor for Policy Implementation\, New York State Department of Public Service\n\n\n\nElizabeth Blaug\, Fmr.

FERC’s 2015 Modernization Policy Statement permits pipelines to recover modernization costs through a surcharge mechanism. Consistent with the policy statement\, many pipelines have proposed cost trackers to allow them to recover environmental and safety-related costs on a yearly basis. In practice\, pipelines have had mixed results in obtaining rate settlements that include these cost tracking mechanisms\, creating the possibility of frequent rate case filings to address continually rising costs. The panel will discuss sources of these costs and how pipelines’ efforts to recover them.   \n\n\n\n\nSorana Linder\, Director\, Rates\, Tariffs\, and Modernization\, TC Energy\n\n\n\nJessica Rogers\, Senior Director\, Rates and Regulatory\, UGI Utilities\n\n\n\nConor Walsh\, Attorney Advisor\, Office of Chief Counsel\, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration\n\n\n\nKyle Danish\, Partner\, Van Ness Feldman LLP\n\n\n\nModerator: Michael Diamond\, Partner\, Van Ness Feldman LLP\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Types Member  Nonmember Registration$75$95Student RegistrationFree$20\n\n\n\nCLE:This program is eligible for 2 hours of CLE credit in 60-minute states and 2.4 hours of CLE credit in 50-minute states.

This program is co-sponsored by the ACC Energy Network and the Energy Bar Association. \n\n\n\nEnvironmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) policies have attracted a groundswell of critics within private and public companies and federal and state governments. The interplay of this Anti-ESG movement and the energy transition has come to light with a growing number of Anti-ESG bills\, shareholder proposals\, and climate change litigation. During this webinar\, our speakers will provide a high-level overview of developments within the Anti-ESG movement\, discuss the relatively broad support for ESG\, and share helpful tips about how to navigate the legal risks present when ESG and Anti-ESG converge. \n\n\n\nIf you are a corporate counsel and would like to register for this Legal Update webinar\, please click here. If you are not an ACC member\, please email events@bdlaw.com for more information. \n\n\n\nBeveridge & Diamond is proud to sponsor the ACC Environmental and Sustainability Network\, a group that enhances the ability of ACC members to practice environmental law. The Network provides resources\, peer connections\, and other support for member companies on environmental and sustainability issues for facilities and products\, including project development and worker health and safety issues. \n\n\n\nEBA Members can create a free account to register for the program: Create Account URL:https://www.eba-net.org/event/co-sponsored-event-esg-and-anti-esg-for-the-association-of-corporate-counsel/ CATEGORIES:In-House Counsel Coalition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.eba-net.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/EBA-Upcoming-Event3.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230228T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230228T190000 DTSTAMP:20260418T104534 CREATED:20230206T160822Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230207T150704Z UID:10000015-1677603600-1677610800@www.eba-net.org SUMMARY:Young Lawyers Council Co-Sponsored Happy Hour DESCRIPTION:Please join EBA’s Young Lawyer Council\, FERC’s Women Empowering Women\, and Asian Pacific Americans of FERC for an informal happy hour!
