ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to delegated authority, the Director of the Office of 
Energy Projects (OEP) computes and publishes the project cost and 
annual limits for natural gas pipelines blanket construction 
certificates for each calendar year.

DATES: This final rule is effective February 5, 2014 and establishes

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Foley, Chief, Certificates

Order of the Director, OEP
January 31, 2014.
    Section 157.208(d) of the Commission's Regulations provides for 
project cost limits applicable to construction, acquisition, operation 
and miscellaneous rearrangement of facilities (Table I) authorized 
under the blanket certificate procedure (Order No. 234, 19 FERC ] 
61,216). Section 157.215(a) specifies the calendar year dollar limit 
which may be expended on underground storage testing and development 
(Table II) authorized under the blanket certificate. Section 157.208(d) 
requires that the ``limits specified in Tables I and II shall be 
adjusted each calendar year to reflect the `GDP implicit price 
deflator' published by the Department of Commerce for the previous 
calendar year.''
    Pursuant to Sec.  375.308(x)(1) of the Commission's Regulations, 
the authority for the publication of such cost limits, as adjusted for 
inflation, is delegated to the Director of the Office of Energy 
Projects. The cost limits for calendar year 2014, as published in Table 
I of Sec.  157.208(d) and Table II of Sec.  157.215(a), are hereby 
issued.

Effective Date

latest annual determination of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) 
implicit price deflator, a mathematical updating required by the 
Commission's existing regulations.
