McKenzie Electric Cooperative, Inc. v. Basin Electric Power Cooperative On June 22, 2026, McKenzie Electric Cooperative, Inc. (McKenzie) filed a request for rehearing of FERC's May 2026 order denying McKenzie's complaint. The underlying complaint alleged that Basin Electric Power Cooperative (Basin) pursued a nominal Rural Utilities Service (RUS) loan to avoid FERC jurisdiction. McKenzie argues that rehearing is warranted because FERC failed to provide "any reasoned analysis" of whether Basin's purposeful evasion of federal jurisdiction was compatible with the public interest, as required by FPA section 204. Two intervenors—Sierra Club and Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. —also filed requests for rehearing. They make similar claims about the May 2026 order. Agenda item E-1 may be an order on the rehearing requests. |

Revisions to Oil Pipeline Regulations Pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of 1992 On December 22, 2025, Kinder Morgan, Inc. (KMI) requested limited clarification or, in the alternative, rehearing of the Commission’s November 20, 2025, order (the Remedies Order) granting remedial relief to certain liquids pipelines for a period ranging from March 2022 into September 2024 (the Locked-In Period) in order to place those pipelines in the position they would have been in absence of the issuance of a now-vacated earlier order. KMI’s filing noted that KMI fully supports the remedial relief granted in the Remedies Order, but it sought clarification that the Commission did not intend to limit the circumstances under which remedial relief is available to pipelines to just those instances where pipelines were charging the maximum rates permitted under the now-vacated earlier order. In the alternative, KMI sought rehearing of the Remedies Order to the extent it prohibits pipelines that charged rates below certain Maximum Rehearing Index Rates but that were still impacted by the now-vacated earlier order from obtaining the same remedial relief as that afforded to pipelines that charged the Maximum Rehearing Index Rates during the Locked-In Period. On the same day, Energy Transfer LP (Energy Transfer) requested clarification of the Remedies Order that the recouped assessments for “amounts that would have been chargeable” during the Locked-In Period include interest on the calculated amounts. Agenda Item E-11 may be a further order on RMI’s and Energy Transfer’s requests for rehearing and clarification. |

Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC Driftwood Pipeline LLC On June 1, 2026, Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC (Louisiana LNG) submitted an application for limited amendment to authorization granted under Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act and request for expedited action. The authorization was granted in 2019 to Louisiana LNG’s predecessor, Driftwood LNG LLC (Driftwood), in Docket No. CP17-117-000. The requested amendment would incorporate an interconnect and receipt meter station (the KMLP Interconnect) that would interconnect the Louisiana LNG facility with the Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline LLC (KMLP) interstate natural gas pipeline system, allowing Louisiana LNG to serve as a significant source of natural gas supply for the Project quicker than is available from other supply sources. Simultaneously, Driftwood Pipeline LLC requested to vacate this same facility from its facilities authorized under Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (Docket No. CP17-118-000). On June 30, 2026, the Commission issued an Environmental Assessment Report for Louisiana LNG and Driftwood’s application. Agenda item C-4 may be an order on this application. |
