Energy Regulators Abandon Requiring People Tell The Truth
Published Date: 11/25/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) decided to stop a proposed rule that would have required anyone talking to them to always tell the truth and not leave out important facts. This means no new rule is coming, and no one has to change how they share info with FERC right now. The proposal is officially withdrawn as of November 25, 2025, so no new costs or deadlines are involved.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has decided to stop changing the formula that sets yearly price limits for oil pipelines until June 30, 2026. This means oil pipeline companies won’t see any new rate ceiling changes based on the proposed updates, keeping things steady for now. The withdrawal takes effect immediately, so no new costs or rate changes will happen from this review.
