FERC-549E, Price Index Data Providers and Developers

The Commission set forth standards for price index developers to demonstrate that their internal processes were sufficient to qualify as a Commission-approved price index developer and, thus, have their price indices referenced in Commission-jurisdictional tariffs. Price index developers seeking approval voluntarily provided written statements to the Commission to explain how they met these standards. The Commission used the information collected from these price index developers to determine whether the Commission would approve the use of their indices in Commission-jurisdictional tariffs. After the Initial Policy Statement was issued thirteen price index developers sought approval. Beginning six months after the effective date of this revision, interstate natural gas pipelines and public utilities proposing to use price indices in jurisdictional tariffs will no longer be entitled to the rebuttable presumption that a price index developer’s price indices produce just and reasonable rates unless the price index developer has obtained approval or re-approval from the Commission within the last seven years.
