From the transcript
For the record and through the co-chairs, this is Claire Kniepzen-Ladas. Significant questions remain regarding how any Fairbanks Spur line might be regulated. Having reviewed filings in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, docket CP-17-178-000, it appears the application by the Alaska Gas Line Development Corporation, or AGDC, did not include the Fairbanks Spur, and thus, it is unlikely that FERC's May 2020 decision extends its jurisdiction over the spur. AS4205.711(s) AS4205.711(s) exempts AS4208 pipelines from regulation under AS4205. And AS4206.601 exempts the same pipelines from regulation under AS4206.
