Subject: FERC Sets Implementation Date for GISB Version 1.4 Standards


Yesterday, FERC issued Order No. 587-M which incorporates the most recent
version of the GISB standards, Version 1.4 and directs the pipelines to
implement the standards by May, 1, 2001. Version 1.4 include the
standards for implementing Internet web sites (which pipelines were already
required to implement on June 1, 2000); critical notices, and multi-tier
allocations. Pipelines are required to make filings to incorporate these
standards into their tariffs not less than 30 days prior to May 1, 2001.

Order 587-M also discusses the fact that GISB was unable to adopt consensus
standards for cross-contract ranking. Pipelines were willing to move to a
process of confirming on an entity to entity basis, but the LDCs and
producers also wanted to require pipelines to provide detailed confirmation
data to working interest owners and downstream parties.
The Commission determined that it did not have sufficient information to rule
on this issue. Accordingly, the Commission directed staff to convene a
technical conference to discuss cross-contract ranking.
