DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission


Notice of Expanded Use of the Docket Prefix ``IS'' for Oil 
Pipeline Filings and Availability of Information

February 25, 1998.
    Take notice that on March 1, 1998, the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission will cease using the oil pipeline docket prefix ``OT'' and 
instead will use an ``IS'' docket prefix.
    The Commission receives tariff filings and related materials from 
jurisdictional oil pipeline companies pursuant to the requirements of 
18 CFR Parts 340, 341, 342, 343, 344, 346, and 348. Filings previously 
given an ``OT'' docket prefix will now be assigned an ``IS'' prefix. 
The ``IS'' docket prefix has been used for oil pipeline filings which 
were likely to require formal action. Now this prefix will also be 
assigned to and designate the more routine, non-controversial, oil 
pipeline filings. Future use of the ``OT'' docket prefix will terminate 
upon institution of this policy.
    The format of the ``IS'' docket prefix will remain unchanged. The 
``IS'' prefix will be followed by the last two digits of the fiscal 
year in which the filing is received at the Commission, and a number 
assigned in numerical sequence beginning with ``1'' at the start of 
each fiscal year.
    Also, as part of the Commission's continuing effort to provide 
easier access to its information, future oil pipeline filings will be 
available through the Commission's Records and Information Management 
System.
    This notice is issued for the information and aid of jurisdictional 
companies, the public and practitioners before the Commission as an 
explanation of the docketing prefix used by the Commission.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
