I am no longer in the energy or utilities business...; however, if this
is true, it is wonderful for utilities.  It takes the FERC 18 CFR
"regulatory" retention requirement out of the 5 retention policy
factors:
Operational
Fiscal
Regulatory
Legal
Historic

Utilities folks should rejoice at having less regulation.

The CSM answered my question...

"neither FERC nor states will be permitted to require certain records
to
be kept, as was the case under PUHCA"

http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0803/p08s02-comv.html



This statement is pretty amazing...and may be poorly written, but is
it
stating that the bill is actually prohibiting states and FERC from
mandating records retention?



Does this wipe out FERC (18 CFR 125) records retention requirements as
well?

Hi,



The press has stated that PUHCA is to be repealed with the signing of
the new energy bill.  As y'all may know PUCHA is one of the few laws
that actually contains a record schedule.

Does this mean the end of 17 CFR 257, 17 CFR 257.2 and RIN 3235-AI12
SEC
Final Rule?  Or did the record keeping requirements get absorbed into
the new energy bill?



Thanks,

Chuck
