Volume III Staff Oil Pipeline Handbook

Volume III picks up where Volumes One and Two left off. Although there have been many Commission oil pipeline related orders and Court decisions issued since January 1992, this volume attempts to include only the most significant materials. They are roughly arranged in chronological order, although where a series of orders is involved they have been kept together for the sake of simplicity.regulation at the Commission. The decisions address a range of issues including but not limited to index-based rate increases, the contours of FERC's oil pipeline jurisdiction under the Interstate Commerce Act, composition of proxy groups to determine return on equity, and prorationing rate structures. The Office of Administrative Litigation has prepared brief summaries of decisions and those summaries do not reflect the views of the Commission, or any individual Commissioner.
