IN RM01-10-000, the Commission is
amending and consolidation its regulations governing standards of
conduct for natural gas pipelines 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 regulat- ed transmission proviers 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 proposed changes in FERC's regulations are in
response to the changing structure of the energy industry.
