The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the agency that administers the Federal Power Act of 1935 (FPA), instituted a proceeding to decide two questions equally fundamental to the electric utility world fifty-seven years after Congress passed the law--what agreements fall within FERC's rate jurisdiction and what [open quotes]classifications, practices, and regulations[close quotes] must be filed The first part of this article is an introduction to the FPA and the FERC's administration of the FPA. The second part of this article surveys the FERC's exploration of the meaning of section 205 and offers the author's view of a particular framework within which to determine the FERC's rate jurisdiction in particular cases. This article also covers [open quotes]classifications, practices, and regulations[close quotes] that affect or relate to rates, since they are included in the FPA's filing requirements.
