The development of the main gas transportation infrastructure and a socially and economically justified increase in the gas infrastructure expansion level in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation including creation of the conditions for preferential supply of gas to land plots used for housing construction are referred to strategic gas industry development tasks. The gas infrastructure expansion level and its growth pace are currently low in a number of regions of the Russian Federation. The citizens view this situation as social injustice, especially when main export gas pipelines are located in close proximity. Solution of strategic tasks related to the gas infrastructure expansion requires an improvement of the legal regulation of social relations arising at the gas infrastructure expansion, and that is impossible without legal research. The author brings forward proposals for the development of the legal regulation in the gas infrastructure expansion including provisions on the single operator of gas supply and gas infrastructure expansion programs
