Federal Power Act Section 203 Blanket Authorizations for Investment Companies

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) seeks comment on whether, and if so, how, the Commission should revise its policy on providing blanket authorizations for investment companies under the Federal Power Act. The Commission also seeks comment on what constitutes control of a public utility in evaluating holding companies', including investment companies', requests for blanket authorization and what factors it should consider when evaluating control over public utilities as part of a request for blanket authorization.
