CNG Holding 1 LLC; Notice of Petition for Declaratory Order, 10358-10359 [2022-03910]

Download as PDF 10358 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 37 / Thursday, February 24, 2022 / Notices Commission. I do not believe that to be the case here. 3. Today’s NOI characterizes the problem as whether oil pipeline allocation methodologies sufficiently address anomalous conditions and identifies only one instance where this problem has occurred: ‘‘effects of the COVID–19 pandemic on demand for pipeline capacity to airport destinations.’’ 1 The NOI does not show airlines as having raised concerns since July 2021 when certain airlines filed a request for emergency relief.2 Airlines are not shy before the Commission. If there were still a problem, we would have heard from them.3 4. Second, while I again acknowledge that we had a particular problem with supplies of jet fuel in 2021, as a general matter, I am wary of any action wherein the Commission singles out a particular shipper category as the basis for exploring changes to its policies and tariffs.4 This is especially true when, as here, we have not even made the most preliminary of showings that this shipper category is not similarly situated with other shippers, nor have we identified some other legitimate factor that justifies disparate treatment.5 As commenters in response to the July 2021 request for relief stated: ‘‘All industries and shipper classes faced unprecedented demand destruction during the COVID–19 pandemic. All shippers faced challenges and choices to manage the downturn and prepare for the upcoming period when demand will return.’’ 6 5. Third, I am not confident that carriers will willingly provide the information the Commission requests on destinations, nominations, and capacity awarded.7 Section 15(13) of the Interstate Commerce Act prohibits common carriers from disclosing: any information concerning the nature, kind, quantity, destination, or consignee, or routing of any property tendered or delivered to such common carrier for interstate transportation, which information may be used to the detriment or prejudice of such shipper or consignee, or which may improperly disclose his business transactions to a competitor . . . .8 6. While I acknowledge the Commission attempts to strategically deploy the word ‘‘aggregate,’’ I do not think that this maneuver is sufficient. Oil pipelines that deliver to airport destinations in many cases only have a few shippers, meaning that, even if data is ‘‘aggregated,’’ it is not difficult to discern individual shipper data. And even so, I could imagine some shippers arguing that the information, aggregated or not, might be used to their detriment or prejudice. For these reasons, I respectfully concur. James P. Danly, Commissioner.

Going forward, based on a general assessment of the matters at issue, the attendees and other concerned entities would be well advised to continue discussions, in their regular course of business.
