DCP Operating Company, LP has filed a petition for a declaratory order with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). They are requesting that FERC find that certain pipeline facilities they are acquiring in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas will perform a gathering function and not be subject to FERC's jurisdiction under the Natural Gas Act.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) updated Order No. 871 to prevent the start of construction on certain natural gas projects while requests for rehearing are under review.

FERC is allowing time for additional arguments to be submitted by interested parties and has outlined questions for further consideration on this matter, reflecting ongoing concerns about project commencement and the use of eminent domain during pending rehearings. Commission Danly disagreed with the delay and believes that addressing rehearing arguments should be the Commission's priority.
