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. Interested parties who want to intervene or protest must submit their filings by January 10, 2025. FERC promotes electronic submissions but allows paper submissions under specific guidelines.
Simple Explanation
DCP Operating Company wants to buy some pipelines in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, and they are asking a government group called FERC to say these pipelines are for "gathering" gas, so FERC won't control them. People have until January 10, 2025, to say if they agree or disagree with DCP's idea.
