Movement for repeal of the Public Utility Holding Company Act

Journal Article · · Public Util. Fortn.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5457480

A regulatory pyramid that may have replaced the financial pyramids which the Public Utility Holding Company Act (PUHCA) of 1935 sought to tear down is a burden the Reagan administration feels is easily removed. Reagan's federalism policy, however, will place even more control in the hands of the state-level regulators who are causing most of the problems for utilities. DOE and the Securities and Exchange Commission favor repeal of PUHCA, while the Justice Department and the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners are opposed. Congressional hearings are now taking testimony on the pros and cons of repeal. (DCK)
