In 1991 the appellate courts issued a number of significant decisions involving the federal regulation of the energy industries. This year's report focused on four areas: (1) The scope of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) jurisdiction over the interstate transmission of natural gas and the rates charged by 'natural gas companies' for that service; (2) The resolution of lingering wellhead ceiling price issues and the implementation of the Wellhead Decontrol Act of 1989; (3) Evolving issues of open access for qualifying facilites and end-users on electric rate facilities; and (4) Administrative law questions raised by the requirement that rules be effected only after notice and an opportunity to comment. This report is not a comprehensive review of ever energy decision issued in 1991, but focuses on several interesting questions that will have an impact on future regulatory cases. The discussion is divided into two parts: Natural Gas Jurisdiction Issues and Wellhead Sales Issues.
