Published Date: 2/24/2026
Notice
Summary
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is canceling a plan to change how it reviews oil pipeline contracts when only the pipeline’s own affiliate signs up for service. This means no new rules will affect pipeline companies or their affiliates for now, and no extra costs or deadlines are coming. The withdrawal took effect on February 19, 2026, keeping things steady in the oil pipeline world.
