APGA Supports FERC’s Safe Harbor NOPR for Pricing Indices

On June 1, APGA submitted comments in response to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) regarding its safe harbor policy for natural gas pricing indices. Given the fact that APGA members across the country purchase nearly all of their gas under an index and often rely on what are illiquid price points, APGA has been focused and concerned about the accuracy of price indices for almost three decades.

Through its comments, APGA indicates its appreciation and support for FERC codifying its safe harbor policy. APGA requested as much via comments in a related docket in 2017, and the NOPR does just that. APGA hopes that FERC continues its vigilance regarding the price index issue and promptly promulgates a final rule.

A copy of the comments is available online here.
