Overview

• FERC issued a direct final rule inserting one‑year sunset provisions into 53 regulations the agency labeled outdated, duplicative, or seldom used.
• Each targeted regulation will lapse 365 days after the rule’s effective date unless FERC extends it for up to five years following a public cost‑benefit comment process.
• The amendments take effect 45 days after Federal Register publication, and FERC opened a parallel Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to consider any significant adverse comments.
• If significant adverse comments are filed, the Commission can withdraw the direct rule and proceed under the NOPR for further consideration.
• Coverage notes a discrepancy in the order number, with reports referring to the action as either Order No. 913 or Order No. 914.
