Withdrawal of Oil Pipeline Affiliate Service Policy Statement
FERC eLibrary: Policy Statements - ChangeBridge
Summary
FERC issued a notice withdrawing its proposed policy statement on oil pipeline affiliate committed service under Docket PL23-1. The withdrawal, published February 24, 2026 (91 FR 8856) and citing FERC No. 194FERC61,120, effectively abandons the pending regulatory framework that would have governed affiliate transactions in the oil pipeline sector.
What changed
FERC formally withdrew its proposed policy statement regarding oil pipeline affiliate committed service that had been under consideration in Docket PL23-1. The proposed policy would have established standards for how interstate oil pipelines handle service transactions with their affiliates, potentially affecting how pipeline companies structure and disclose affiliate relationships.
Pipeline operators and energy companies are not required to take any compliance action as a result of this withdrawal. The proposed policy will not take effect, and existing regulatory frameworks governing oil pipeline affiliate transactions remain unchanged. Companies that had submitted comments on the original proposal can discontinue any internal compliance planning related to the withdrawn policy.
