Enbridge Inc. has submitted a petition to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to reopen and cancel an order from March 22, 2017, which dealt with Enbridge's involvement in competing natural gas pipelines. The petition argues that the order is no longer necessary because Enbridge no longer has an indirect ownership in the Discovery Pipeline following its sale to Williams Companies, Inc. Enbridge believes that these changed conditions eliminate the concerns that led to the original order and requests that it be set aside to avoid unnecessary costs and burdens. Public comments on this petition are being accepted until March 3, 2025.
Simple Explanation
Enbridge, a company, asked a government group to change a rule from 2017 about some pipes they used to own, because they don't own them anymore. They hope this change will stop them from spending extra time and money, and people can share their thoughts on this idea until March 3, 2025.
