In the Commission's April 16, 2015, Order in this proceeding, the Commission announced it was beginning a process to develop a revised method for natural gas pipelines, public utilities, and oil pipelines to file forms, and asked NAESB and the electric, natural gas, and oil industries to establish a collaborative process with Commission staff to develop standards for filing forms. 1 On June 10, 2015, Commission staff held a technical conference to explore a transition to XML format, as well as NAESB's assistance in that transition process. 1 *Electronic Filing Protocols for Commission Forms,* 151 FERC ¶ 61,025 (2015).
