AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the authority delegated by the Commission's
regulations, 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 March 21, 2019 and establishes cost
limits applicable from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard W. Foley, Chief, Certificates
Branch 1, Division of Pipeline Certificates, (202) 502-8955.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 2019, as published in Table

latest annual determination of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
implicit price deflator, a mathematical updating required by the
