The Office of Enforcement has also preliminarily determined that Coaltrain violated 18 CFR 35.41(b) (2015) by making false statements and omitting material information during the investigation. During the period of interest, Peter Jones and Shawn Sheehan were the principal owners of Coaltrain, and they along with Jeff Miller, Robert Jones, Jack Wells, and Adam Hughes devised and implemented the relevant trades in PJM. Staff alleges that the individuals (on behalf of Coaltrain) planned and executed Up-To Congestion transactions in PJM that were designed to falsely appear to be spread trades but that were in fact a vehicle to collect certain payments (called ‘‘Marginal Loss Surplus Allocation,’’ or MLSA) from PJM. Staff alleges that through these trades, Coaltrain sought not to profit from changes in price spreads but rather to profit by clearing large volumes of Up-To Congestion transactions with the goal of collecting MLSA. Staff further alleges that during the investigation, Peter Jones, Shawn Sheehan, and their agents (on behalf of Coaltrain) made false statements and omitted material information in 1 Enforcement of Statutes, Regulations, and Orders, 129 FERC ¶ 61,247 (2009), order on reh’g, 134 FERC ¶ 61,054 (2011).

Texas Gas requests authorization to deliver approximately 53.5 million standard cubic feet per day of natural gas from its existing Robards Junction facilities in Henderson County, Kentucky to one of Texas Gas’ customers in Posey County, Indiana. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the Southern Indiana Market Lateral Project in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers— Louisville District participated as a cooperating agency in the preparation of the EA. Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to resources potentially affected by a proposal and participate in the NEPA analysis.
