Rate change filings with Feb 1, 2025 date
Several natural gas pipeline companies filed rate-related requests that list an effective date of February 1, 2025 (for example, Colt Pipelines, Equitrans L.P., and negotiated-rate filings like RP25-540 and RP25-552). These are formal filings to FERC that could change pipeline rate terms starting on 2025-02-01.
NAESB 4.0 / Order 587-AA compliance effective Aug 1
Many pipeline companies submitted compliance filings to implement NAESB Version 4.0 and Order No. 587-AA with an effective date of August 1, 2025. These filings (multiple dockets listed) are formal compliance updates that pipeline operators say will be effective on 2025-08-01.
Public comment, protest, and intervention deadlines
People may intervene, protest, or comment on these FERC dockets by the listed deadlines: many filings list comment dates at 5:00 p.m. ET on February 18, 2025 or February 24, 2025, and one protest deadline is 5:00 p.m. ET April 4, 2025. The notice states intervention is necessary to become a party and that the Commission's Office of Public Participation can help landowners, local communities, Tribal members, and others file comments or interventions (contact information provided).
