Plain-English summary
Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission should: (1) more rigorously review requested pipeline rate hikes and contracts to insure that natural gas price increases are just and reasonable; (2) review the regulations implementing the Purchased Gas Adjustment provision of the Natural Gas Policy Act, so as to insure that price increases more closely reflect market conditions; and (3) report to Congress on the steps it has taken to eliminate market distortions caused by the enforcement of take-or-pay contracts in the natural gas industry.
