Georgia Public Service Commission Regulation on Distribution Public Awareness Programs

The Georgia Public Service Commission developed a new regulation to address the roles and responsibilities for pipeline public awareness program implementation in cases where the billing to the Retail Customers of the Electing Distribution Company is provided, in whole or in part, by Marketers or Poolers providing commodity sales service or distribution services on the Electing Distribution Company’s system.

The new rule establishes minimum requirements for natural gas pipeline safety and public awareness programs, requires marketer and pooler participation, establishes an annual schedule of billing inserts, and identifies the costs to be borne by the electing distribution company and the marketers and poolers. This new rule is effective March 18, 2008.
