    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has issued a final rule to update the maximum civil monetary penalties for violating laws and regulations under its authority. This adjustment is required by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act, which mandates annual updates to account for inflation. The rule comes into effect on January 14, 2025, and is being implemented without the usual notice and comment process due to legal requirements. The updated penalties apply to acts governed by the Federal Power Act, Natural Gas Policy Act, Natural Gas Act, and Interstate Commerce Act, among others.

    Simple Explanation

    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission updated the fine amounts for breaking energy rules to keep up with inflation, kind of like making sure old coins are still worth the same amount today. These new rules start on January 14, 2025, so everyone plays fair with the new money rules.

    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is inviting public comments on extending the information collection requirements for four types of applications and reports, without changes to current requirements. This includes FERC-519 for public utility mergers and acquisitions, FERC-520 for interlocking directorates, FERC-546 for gas pipeline rates, and FERC-580 for fuel and energy purchases. Comments are due by April 4, 2025, and can be submitted online or by mail. The Commission emphasizes the importance of these collections for fulfilling its regulatory duties under the Federal Power Act and Natural Gas Act.

    Simple Explanation

    The government agency that takes care of energy rules wants to keep using some forms that help them make sure everything is running smoothly, like when companies want to team up or check on their energy stuff. They're asking people to tell them what they think about using these forms, and they need to hear back by a certain date next year.
