Oil Pipeline Capacity Allocation Issues 

and Anomalous Conditions 

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

February 17, 2022, the Commission 

issued a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) in the 

captioned proceeding to explore oil 

pipeline capacity allocation issues that 

arise when anomalous conditions affect 

the demand for oil pipeline capacity 

and, in particular, the availability of 

pipeline capacity for transporting jet 

fuel to supply airports following the 

onset of the COVID–19 pandemic. The 

Commission sought comment on what 

actions, if any, the Commission should 

consider to address those allocation 

issues.1 Specifically, the Commission 

requested comment on: (a) historical 

examples of anomalous conditions; (b) 

whether current prorationing policies 

sufficiently address anomalous 

conditions; (c) whether the Commission 

should take actions to mitigate the 

effects of anomalous conditions; and (d) 

whether secondary market transactions 

could improve access to pipeline 

capacity during anomalous conditions.2

For the reasons set forth below, we 

exercise our discretion to terminate the 

proceeding in Docket No. AD22–7–000. 

I. Background 

As detailed in the NOI,3 interstate oil 

pipelines are regulated as common 

carriers under the Interstate Commerce 

Act (ICA).4 Oil pipelines use 

prorationing to allocate capacity among 

shippers when their total nominations 

exceed the pipeline’s capacity. The 

Commission does not prescribe a 

particular prorationing methodology but 

requires any such methodology to be 

consistent with the ICA. As relevant to 

this proceeding, a history-based 

methodology gives preference to 

shippers with a history of shipping on 

the pipeline.5

The COVID–19 pandemic 

significantly impacted the demand for 

oil pipeline capacity. In particular, some 

industry participants raised concerns 

that the demand for jet fuel 

disproportionately decreased as 

compared with other oil products such 

as road fuels, which could have reduced 

allocations of capacity to jet fuel 

transportation on pipelines that used a 

history-based prorationing 

methodology.6 The issue was raised 

formally in two Commission 

proceedings. First, in May 2021, SFPP, 

L.P. (SFPP) filed a tariff revision 

proposing a temporary change to its 

prorationing policy that would allow jet 

fuel shippers to obtain access to 

additional capacity that its tariff 

reserves for new shippers.7 Other SFPP 

shippers protested the proposal, and 

SFPP subsequently withdrew the filing. 

Second, in August 2021, Airlines 8 filed 

a request for emergency relief, asking 

the Commission to direct SFPP to 

prioritize jet fuel shipments on its North 

Line to the Reno terminal serving RenoTahoe International Airport to prevent 

jet fuel shortages. The filing was 

protested, and the Commission denied 

the request for emergency relief because 

Airlines did not establish that the 

circumstances constituted a public 

health emergency warranting 

extraordinary relief under section 1(15) 

of the ICA.9

II. NOI and Comments 

On February 17, 2022, the 

Commission issued the NOI seeking 

comments on oil pipeline capacity 

allocation issues that arise under 

anomalous conditions, and in 

particular, the availability of pipeline 

capacity for transporting jet fuel to 

supply airports following the onset of 

the COVID–19 pandemic.10 Fifteen 

commenters—including pipelines, 

Airlines, and non-jet fuel shippers— 

filed comments in response to the 

NOI.11
