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.
