United States Fifth Circuit
Jupiter Energy Corp. v. Fed. Energy Regulatory Comm'n, 05-61173
Denial of an application to the FERC for a determination that petitioner's two natural gas pipelines gather, as opposed to transport, natural gas is vacated and remanded where the Commission's order lacked a reasoned explanation to support its disregard of the length, diameter, operating pressure, and non-physical factors of petitioner's system, which all weighed in favor of a gathering function.
