§ 101-33.202 - Proceedings before regulatory bodies.

Pursuant to the provisions of section 201(a)(4) of the Property Act, executive agencies shall refer to GSA for consideration, all complaints and petitions involving public utility rates or services proposed to be brought before Federal and State regulatory bodies. Executive agencies seeking intervention authority shall submit their requests to GSA in writing. GSA will determine whether it will handle the proceedings, in cooperation with other interested agencies, or delegate the handling of the proceeding to the referring agencies, depending on which course of action is deemed to be in the best interest of the Government. Agencies delegated intervention authority shall be responsible for representing the interests of all Federal executive agencies in the utility's service jurisdiction, and shall give a diligent effort to identify those interests. To the extent that there is a divergence of interest between the agency receiving the delegation and other agencies served by the utility, the delegated agency shall promptly notify GSA of the situation. After completion of a case, the delegated agency shall provide a report that describes the results of the intervention effort; the report will include a copy of the Public Utility Commission's decision, a summary of the rates requested and approved by the Commission, an estimate of the impact on Federal executive agencies, and a discussion of the central issues of the case. The final report shall be provided to GSA within 90 days of the issuance of the Commission's decision.
