FERC established the Task Force pursuant to Section 209(b) of the Federal Power Act, a rarely-invoked provision that authorizes FERC to confer with state commissions "regarding the relationship between rate structures, costs, accounts, charges, practices, classifications, and regulations of public utilities subject to the jurisdiction" of such state commissions and FERC. The June 17 order noted that transmission-related issues were ripe for federal-state coordination and cooperation given the respective authority of federal and state regulators and the resulting processes that transmission developers must successfully navigate.
The Task Force will be comprised of all five FERC commissioners as well as representatives from 10 state commissions, who will serve one-year terms, not to exceed three consecutively, in an advisory capacity.FERC请求NARUC向FERC提交10国委代表提名表(NERUC区域有2名代表)至7月17日收到NARUC提名后,FERC将发布后续命令,列出工作队成员及其作用,并确定第一次公开会议的时间和地点。
