Commission 

[Docket No. PL20–3–000] 

Actions Regarding the Commission’s 

Policy on Price Index Formation and 

Transparency, and Indices Referenced 

in Natural Gas and Electric Tariffs 

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of policy statement. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission) is 

revising its price index policy set forth 

in its Policy Statement on Natural Gas 

and Electric Price Indices (Initial Policy 

Statement) to encourage more market 

participants to report their transactions 

to price index developers, to provide 

greater transparency into the natural gas 

price formation process, and to increase 

confidence in the accuracy and 

reliability of wholesale natural gas 

prices. First, the Commission is revising 

the price index policy to allow market 

participants that report transaction data 

to price index developers (data 

providers) to report either their nonindex based next-day transactions, their 

non-index based next-month 

transactions, or both, to price index 

developers. In addition, the Commission 

is revising the price index policy to 

encourage data providers to report 

transactions to as many Commissionapproved price index developers as 

possible, and to allow data providers to 

self-audit on a biennial basis. The 

Commission is also modifying its 

standards to state that price index 

developers should indicate whether a 

published index price is calculated 

using market information other than the 

trades at the index’s specified location, 

or a market assessment, in their 

published price indices and data 

distributions. Moreover, the 

Commission is modifying its standards 

so that each approved price index 

developer should seek re-approval from 

the Commission every seven years to 

demonstrate that it fully or substantially 

meets the standards set forth in the 

Initial Policy Statement. Beginning six 

months after the effective date of this 

Revised Policy Statement, interstate 

natural gas pipelines and public utilities 

proposing to use price indices in 

jurisdictional tariffs will no longer be 

entitled to the rebuttable presumption 

that a price index developer’s price 

indices produce just and reasonable 

rates unless the price index developer 

has obtained approval or re-approval 

from the Commission within the last 

seven years. Finally, the Commission is 

modifying the review period for 

assessing the liquidity of natural gas 

price indices submitted for reference in 

Commission-jurisdictional tariffs to 180 

continuous days out of the most recent 

365 days. This will help to ensure that 

price indices referenced in Commissionjurisdictional tariffs are sufficiently 

liquid. 

DATES: This Policy Statement becomes 

applicable on December 31, 2022.
