S. 2770 would amend the Department of Energy Organization Act by adding four new sections: Regulation of pipelines; Common carrier status continued and contracts; Commission rate regulation; and Report to Congress. The text of each new section is presented. The purpose of the bill is to remove the burden of economic regulation from those oil pipeline markets that operate under competitive circumstances or for which such regulation would not be an effective remedy to constrain the exercise of market power; and to provide for continued economic regulation of only those oil pipeline markets for which such regulation will increase economic efficiency and for which the benefits of such regulation outweigh its costs.
