Jupiter Energy Corporation petitions this Court for review of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's determination that Jupiter's two pipelines perform a "transportation" function rather than a "gathering" function, thereby subjecting them to the Commission's jurisdiction under Section 1(b) of the Natural Gas Act.1 We grant the petition, vacate the Commission's decision, and remand.
