The FERC Review Process and The Importance of Safe Pipeline and LNG Terminal Operation NASFM Annual Meeting- July 8, 2005 Office of Energy Projects Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

FERC 2 Who is FERC? Independent Regulatory Commission Five members –Appointed by the President –Confirmed by the Senate

FERC 3 Natural gas – a critical source of energy and raw material Vital to the US Economy ¼ of U.S. energy requirements environmental fuel of Choice and regulation provides about 19% of electric generation residential customers --60 million in 2001 U.S. industries- over 40% of all primary energy Industrial consumption, up by almost 48% from 1986 to Increase continues….. Production U.S. lower-48 and non-Arctic Canada flat to declining, LNG and Arctic gas will become the major supply source, providing 20-25% of U.S. demand by And lastly……..

FERC 4 Over 90 percent of the 185 GW of new electric generation since June 2001 is natural gas Source: Derived from Platts POWERmap

FERC 5 Safety?– How Important? Essential Prevention is Possible Compliance –Design Standards & Review –No Dig Rules –Testing and Repair Rules Inspection
