DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. RM96-1-024]
Standards for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas
Pipelines; Notice Regarding Standard Numbers for Compliance With Order
No. 587-R
April 11, 2003.
In Order No. 587-R,\1\ the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) amended its regulations to adopt the most recent version,
Version 1.6, of the consensus standards promulgated by the North
American Energy Standards Board Wholesale Gas Quadrant (WGQ) and the
WGQ standards governing partial day recalls. In addition, the
Commission required pipelines to file tariff sheets to reflect the
changed standards by May 1, 2003, with an effective date of July 1,
2003. In response to several comments on the appropriate method for
referencing the standards, the Commission found that the pipelines
could incorporate these standards by reference by identifying the
number of the standard (using ``z'' as a placeholder such as 3.3.z2)
and identifying whether the standard was adopted in Recommendation
R02002 or R02002-2, as appropriate.

\1\ Standards for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas
Pipelines, Order No. 587-R, 102 FERC ] 61,273 (March 12, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsequent to the issuance of Order No. 587-R, the WGQ assigned
standard numbers to the partial day recall standards to replace the
temporary reference numbers for the standards using the ``z''
placeholders. The WGQ assigned standard numbers are listed in a posting
on the WGQ's Web site entitled ``Assignment of Standard Numbers for
Final Actions for R02002 and R02002-2, Ratified October 31, 2002'' at
http://www.naesb.org/Final.htm. Consequently, when incorporating
partial day recall standards by reference, pipelines should use the WGQ
assigned standard numbers as are listed in the Appendix to this Notice.
