In a nutshell, the rules add new reporting requirements for offshore pipes in order to level the playing field with offshore pipelines that are regulated under the Natural Gas Act. In an important change from the NOPR, the rule exempts from these new requirements offshore pipelines that are already regulated under NGA (i.e. there will not be dual reporting requirements). Commissioner Breathitt explained that while this is a modest step and doesn't address all OCS issues, she feels like this provides a light-handed regulatory alternative for regulating offshore pipes.
