participants consistently have voiced concerns to 

Argus that federal authorities including the 

Commission may pursue enforcement actions 

because of inadvertent errors in reporting 

transactions to price index developers despite the 

existence of the Safe Harbor Policy. Inadvertent 

errors could still lead to costly and disruptive 

enforcement investigations and audits. This is made 

even more risky for the data provider as there are 

not any ‘damage caps’ for investigative costs or 

potential liability.’’); Energy Intelligence, 

Comments, Docket No. PL20–3–000, at 2 (filed Mar. 

23, 2021) (‘‘Energy Intelligence views the 

Commission’s parallel proposal (in Docket No. 

RM20–7–000) to codify into its regulations the ‘Safe 

Harbor Policy for Data Providers’ . . . as an 

essential component of the effort to encourage more 

market participants to report their transactions to 

price index developers. On numerous occasions, 

potential data providers have expressed a 

reluctance to report transactions due to perceived 

risks associated with inadvertently reporting 

something in error.’’).

Actions Regarding the Commission’s Policy 

on Price Index Formation and 

Transparency, and Indices Referenced in 

Natural Gas and Electric Tariffs 

Docket No. PL20–3–000 

(Issued April 21, 2022) 

DANLY, Commissioner, concurring: 

1. I concur with today’s order 1 adopting 

the revisions that the Commission proposed 

in December 2020 to its Policy Statement on 

Natural Gas and Electric Price Indices.2 As 

part of its charge to ensure just and 

reasonable rates,3 the Commission should 

take actions that enhance the liquidity and 

transparency of the price indices that are 

used in jurisdictional tariffs. 

2. I write separately to suggest that the 

Commission might have acted otherwise on 

its parallel proposal to codify its Safe Harbor 

Policy for Data Providers to Price Index 

Developers in Docket No. RM20–7–000 

(Proposed Rule).4 Doubtless, there are good 

reasons for the Commission to decline to act 

at this time.5 However, the Commission 

offers none. 

3. Initially, the Commission had found that 

‘‘[b]ased on industry comments during and 

after the technical conference, we believe 

that incorporation of the Safe Harbor Policy 

into the Commission’s regulations will 

provide greater certainty to market 

participants and will lead to increased 

voluntary reporting to price index 

developers.’’ 6 All but one entity 7

commenting on the Proposed Rule agreed.8

Though entitled to decline to take action, it 

would have been preferable for the 

Commission to have cited specific evidence 

and to have explained why it is now deterred 

from acting within our jurisdiction on a 

proposal that it had initially believed would 

improve the indices. 

For these reasons, I respectfully concur. 

James P. Danly, 

Commissioner.

[Docket No. CP22–166–000] 

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, 

L.L.C.; Notice of Request Under 

Blanket Authorization and Establishing 

Intervention and Protest Deadline 

Take notice that on April 13, 2022, 

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, 

L.L.C. (Tennessee), 1001 Louisiana 

Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in 

the above referenced docket a prior 

notice pursuant to sections 157.205, 

157.208, and 157.210 of the 

Commission’s regulations under the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA) and its blanket 

certificate issued in Docket No. CP82– 

413–000 requesting authorization to 

install one new CAT 3616, gas driven, 

5,000 horsepower reciprocating 

compressor package and associated 

piping, valves, and ancillary equipment 

at its existing Compressor Station 409 

located in Hidalgo County, Texas 

(Compressor Station 409 Project). 

Tennessee states that the project will 

increase the north to south firm 

transportation capacity on Tennessee’s 

system in Zone 0 by 69,500 dekatherms 

per day (Dth/d). Tennessee states that 

the change in capacity will enable 

Tennessee to extend the existing 

primary firm transportation path of Mex 

Gas Supply, S.L., a non-affiliated 

Tennessee shipper, to the Agua Dulce, 

Texas area. Also, the project will enable 

Tennessee to offer an additional 7,500 

Dth/d of unsubscribed incremental firm 

capacity between the Agua Dulce, Texas 

area and the Mexico border. Tennessee 

estimates the cost of the Compressor 

Station 409 Project to be approximately 

$23.2 million, all as more fully set forth 

in the request which is on file with the 

Commission and open to public 

inspection.
