Electric Transmission Incentives Policy Under Section 219 of the Federal Power Act
The Commission proposed in the proceeding to revise its existing regulations that implemented section 219 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) in light of the changes in transmission development and planning over the last few years. The supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking proposed to modify the incentive for transmitting and electric utilities that join Transmission Organizations in the March 20, 2020 notice of proposed rulemaking. In addition, pursuant to FPA section 206, the Commission proposed to require each utility that has received an incentive for joining and remaining in a transmission organization for three or more years to submit a compliance filing revising its tariff to remove the incentive from its transmission tariff. The Commission continues to consider the extent to which its regulations implementing section 219 of the FPA have anti-competitive effects and what changes to those regulations could alleviate such effects consistent with Executive Order 14267 (Docket No. RM20-10-000).
Agenda status: Next Action Undetermined (planned)
Five-Year Review of the Oil Pipeline Index
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) invites comments on its proposed index level used to determine annual changes to oil pipeline rate ceilings. The Commission proposes to use the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods (PPI-FG)−1.42% as the index level for the five-year period commencing July 1, 2026. The Commission invites interested persons to submit comments regarding this proposal and any alternative methodologies for calculating the index (Docket No. RM26-6-000).
Status: Final rule published in the Federal Register on April 28, 2026
Implementation of Dynamic Line Ratings
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking presenting potential reforms to implement dynamic line ratings and, thereby, improve the accuracy of transmission line ratings. These potential reforms would require transmission line ratings to reflect solar heating based on the sun's position and forecastable cloud cover and require transmission line ratings to reflect forecasts of wind conditions on certain transmission lines. The potential reforms would also ensure transparency in the development and implementation of dynamic line ratings and enhance data reporting practices related to congestion in non-regional transmission organization/independent system operator regions to identify candidate transmission lines for the requirement to reflect forecasts of wind conditions. The Commission invited all interested persons to submit comments on the potential reforms and in response to specific questions (Docket No. RM24-6-000).
Agenda status: Next Action Undetermined (planned)
Other actions in this stage
Early-stage actions: reviews and advance notices that come before a formal proposal.
Actions the agency reports as completed this cycle. The official agenda rule list files these separately from the active pipeline.
Building for the Future Through Electric Regional Transmission Planning and Cost Allocation
In this order, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission addresses arguments raised on rehearing, grants clarification, in part, and denies clarification, in part, of Order No. 1920-A, which addressed arguments raised on rehearing of, set aside, in part, and clarified Order No. 1920. Order No. 1920 required transmission providers, inter alia, to conduct Long-Term Regional Transmission Planning to ensure the identification, evaluation, and selection, as well as the allocation of the costs, of more efficient or cost-effective regional transmission solutions to address Long-Term Transmission Needs (Docket No. RM21-17-000). This rule was previously reported as 1902-AF87.
Agenda status: Order on Rehearing and Clarification (planned)
