How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• recognizing that with respect to “reservation to the States” of regulation over gas production rates, Congress cannot but have contemplated that state oversight would affect interstate commerce
• recognizing that with respect to \reservation to the States\ of regulation over gas production rates, Congress cannot but have contemplated that state oversight would affect interstate commerce
• holding that a regulation “governing] the timing of production of natural gas from” a certain field was not preempted because the NGA explicitly does not regulate “production and gathering” of gas
• explaining that field preemption exists when Congress legislates broadly enough “to occupy an entire field of regulation, leaving no room for the States to supplement federal law”
• observing that some burden on federal goals does not result in preemption
• “[R]egulating producers in such a way as to have some impact on the purchasing decisions and hence costs of interstate pipelines does not without more result in conflict pre‐emption.”
