FERC to Repeal 53 Regulations in Push for Energy System Strength

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has announced plans to repeal 53 regulations. The move, described as a 'common-sense commitment' by FERC Chair David Rosner, aims to align regulations with statutory mandates and strengthen the nation's energy system. The changes will come into effect 45 days from today after publication in the Federal Register, unless significant adverse comments are received.

The 53 regulations set to be repealed will sunset one year after the new order is finalized, unless the commission votes to extend them. This review and update process is part of FERC's ongoing effort to streamline regulations and ensure they remain relevant and effective. While there's no specific record of President Donald Trump ordering agencies to repeal energy production regulations within a one to five-year period in April, his administration did make significant changes to energy policies during his term.

FERC's new order, set to become effective 45 days from today after publication, marks a significant step in the commission's commitment to a fast and fair regulatory process. The repeal of these 53 regulations, subject to potential extension, signals a shift in energy policy that aims to strengthen the nation's energy system and align with statutory mandates.
