IMPLICATIONS OF OPEN ACCESS FOR NATURAL GAS MARKETS

In October 1985, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued a new rule that was intended to create a new natural gas marketplace based on open-access nondiscriminatory natural gas transportation. However, that rule, Order 436, failed to resolve all the issues adequately. Because of these unresolved issues, change has been troublesome and the transition to open-access transportation has not been completed. Described in this paper are the changes that have taken place, the key issues that remain unresolved, and the important new issues emerging as Order 436 is implemented.
