Mainline pipelines are often interstate pipelines, which are Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (``FERC'') regulated, and the publicly available tariff for a pipeline specifies the gas quality requirements for that pipeline. The tariff may not define the minimum pressure. The minimum pressure requirement is the pressure which the mainline pipeline accepts delivery of residue gas or gas plant products.
