Laclede Gas Company and United Gas Pipe Line Co. v. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

THORNBERRY, Circuit Judge:

The question presented in this case is whether United Gas Pipe Line Company (“United”) may “roll-in” to all of its sales the cost of natural gas purchased under Sections 311(b) and 312 (“Sections 311 and 312”) of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (“NGPA”), 15 U.S.C. §§ 3371(b), 3372. Because we agree with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC” or “the Commission”) that rolled-in pricing of Sections 311 and 312 gas is not unduly discriminatory and does not violate established Commission precedent, we affirm FERC’s orders on the roll-in issue in this case. 1
