United States DC Circuit
ASSOC. OF OIL PIPE LINES v. FED. ENERGY REGULATORY COMM'N, 01-1066
Where the FERC's formula for changes in the ensuing years' price caps for interstate oil pipelines deviated from its previous methodology, without any explanation responsive to petitioner's objections, and did not articulate reasons for changing its averaging methodology, FERC's inadequate explanations require remand to address petitioner's objections.
