FERC Issues Best Practices for Natural Gas Industry

July 2015

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Office of Energy Projects published its “Suggested Best Practices for Industry Outreach Programs to Stakeholders.” The document highlights public outreach tools to effectively engage stakeholders during the process of siting, constructing, and operating interstate natural gas and LNG facilities. Topics discussed in the Best Practices include:

  • Development of a stakeholder outreach program
  • Initial outreach efforts
  • Pre-filing process
  • Updates after the application is filed
  • Continued outreach following receipt of the certificate
  • Ongoing public engagement

You can download a copy of the stakeholder brochure, “Suggested Best Practices for Industry Outreach Programs to Stakeholders” from the FERC website.
