1Opinion of the Court

STEPHEN H. ANDERSON, Circuit Judge.

In this case, we must decide whether an order of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“Commission”) directing Northwest Pipeline Corporation (“Northwest”) to refund to certain of its customers amounts by which they were overcharged violated the proscription against retroactive ratemaking. We hold that it did not. Accordingly, exercising jurisdiction pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 717r(b), we affirm the Commission’s order directing Northwest to refund overcharges to the affected customers.
