	FERC: About FERC
		The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulates and oversees energy industries in the economic, environmental, and safety interests of the American public.
		The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, is an independent agency that regulates the interstate transmission of natural gas, oil, and electricity.
		Top Priorities are the most important issues pending at the Commission, among the thousands of filings made and orders issued each year.

	Bluestone Energy Design, Inc. v. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 74 F.3d 1288 (1996)
		The Commission explains that, although subparts C and D allow for exemptions from the EAP and IC report requirements, the granting of such exemptions is within the discretion of the Commission.
		Because the Commission's enforcement of safety requirements for hydroelectric projects depends upon submission of data by operators, the Commission's interpretations of subparts C and D are reasonable.
		Because the Commission has broad discretion to apportion its enforcement resources as it wishes, there is no guarantee that the amount of staff time and resources devoted to a case will correspond to the nature or seriousness of a violation or to the violator's efforts to comply.

		Distributed energy can also lead to reduced environmental emissions through the use of new generation technologies and renewable energy sources, although it is also possible to have increased pollution in the case of small-scale diesel generators.
		Further, several state commissions are permitting distribution utilities to charge distributed energy operators exit fees for reducing or eliminating their use of the distribution grid to recover “stranded costs”, thus further adversely affecting the economics of distributed energy.
		FERC’s interconnection initiative is a good start at the federal level to create coordination among the states, but many other barriers remain in other federal agencies and in other dimensions at the state level.

	Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
		Following enactment of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, FERC is proposing new rules for the electric industry as part of the law's implementation requirements. EEI assesses the implications of FERC policies and submits comments on behalf of its members.
		View an EEI-prepared timeline that identifies milestone activities required of FERC by the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
		In addition to EPAct implementation issues, FERC is engaged in a number of other regulatory issues of importance to the electric utility industry. EEI's Energy Delivery Group is uniquely situated to provide authoritative analysis on developments at FERC, as well as the evolving transmission business:

	FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION (FERC) Priorities
		While much of the Commission's regulatory activity continues to be done in case-specific adjudications, the Commission has increasingly employed informal rulemaking as a critical process tool in pursuing these strategic goals and carrying out its statutory responsibilities.
		After the Commission issues the final rule, which is expected by the end of 1999, it proposes to initiate a collaborative process to facilitate RTO formation that will involve jurisdictional and nonjurisdictional utilities, state officials and other affected interest groups through regional workshops across the country.
		This pre-filing collaborative process is comparable to the process the Commission successfully adopted two years ago with respect to applications for hydroelectric licenses, amendments and exemptions and, like those regulations, is optional and is designed to be adaptable to the facts and circumstances of the particular case.

		On December 18, 1996, FERC issued a policy statement establishing factors that will be relied on to determine whether a merger is in the best interest of the public.
		In presenting its policy, the Commission stated that it recognized that the electric utility industry is in the midst of enormous technological, regulatory, and economic change.
		The question FERC has to answer is whether the market concentration that will result from the merger will increase the barriers to the competition that is intended to result from subsequent industry deregulation.

	EPA: Federal Register: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the California State Lands Commission and BLM Reference ...
		The staffs of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) and the California State Lands Commission (CSLC) have prepared a draft environmental impact statement/report (EIS/EIR) to address natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Kern River Gas Transmission Company (KRGT).
		Its purpose is to inform the public and the permitting agencies about the potential adverse and beneficial environmental impacts of the proposed project and its alternatives, and recommend mitigation measures that would reduce any significant adverse impacts to the maximum extent possible and, where feasible, to a less than significant level.
		The FERC and the CSLC staffs conclude that approval of the proposed project, with appropriate mitigation measures as recommended, would have limited adverse environmental impact.

	Year 2000 Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Testimony
		However, FERC acknowledges the importance of the Year 2000 problem and recognizes that its involvement in solutions may be necessary.
		Because the energy sector is critical to the operations of all other sectors of the economy, I believe that it is essential for the federal government, along with industry, to promote awareness of this problem through cooperation and communication.
		The meeting participants were asked to join the oil and gas sector of the Energy Working Group in developing a focused, coordinated effort between the federal agencies and industry associations that would prevent redundant efforts and ensure that all companies in the oil and gas sectors are reached.

		Among the changes are a clarification that FERC will balance an applicant’s entire package of requested incentives and a requirement that an applicant “must show a close link between incentives requested and the risks and challenges” of the transmission project, Chairman Joseph Kelliher said.
		The Federal Power Act establishes a single standard for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s adjudication of contract challenges: “whether the challenged contract is ‘just and reasonable,’” a federal appeals court ruled Dec. 19.
		FERC erred in applying the Mobile-Sierra doctrine in orders rejecting complaints by Snohomish County, Wash., Public Utility District and others contesting contracts signed during the California energy crisis, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held in two related orders.

	The Left Coaster: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Protects Bush on California Energy Fiasco
		Those of us out in California who are convinced that Bush-connected energy companies were substantially responsible for the destruction of California budget surpluses by their manipulation of a flawed state deregulatory system should be watching the actions of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission closely right now.
		Because FERC’s ongoing investigation of the matter has found far more limited manipulation than the state believes occurred, and FERC is now settling cases against these same manipulators for pennies on the dollar of what the State feels they were gouged.
		FERC, after demanding in June that energy suppliers provide it proof that they didn’t engage in manipulation, now is settling out complaints against those same companies for pennies on the dollar, and agreeing to language in the settlements that state FERC’s earlier conclusions were baseless and unfounded.

	The Role Of The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Associated With The Restructuring Of Energy Industries
		This diverse and growing energy portfolio will serve North Dakota's needs for a long time into the future, while allowing our excess energy to be exported and help serve other parts of the country.
		North Dakota is also one of the lowest cost energy producing states in the nation - utilizing coal, natural gas and hydro - a fact we are proud of.
		The federal government, both the Congress and the executive branch, must move expeditiously to change the laws and promulgate the rules necessary to move our energy and electric industries forward.
