Recommendation to the Minister of Energy on minor amendments to the Gas (Downstream Reconciliation) Rules 2008

Under section 43O of the Gas Act 1992 Gas Industry Co must, no later than 10 working days after making a recommendation to the Minister of Energy on gas governance arrangements, publicise that recommendation.

On 31 July 2009, Gas Industry Co made a recommendation to the Minister of Energy for a number of amendments to the Gas (Downstream Reconciliation) Rules 2008 (“the Rules”). Gas Industry Co considers that the recommendation satisfies the requirements of section 43N(3), in that the effect of the recommendation is only minor and will not adversely affect the interests of any person in a substantial way. Therefore no assessment under section 43N(1) has been made in respect of the recommendation.
