NARUC and FERC (or actually the FPC at the time) were the same circa 1972
before the paperwork reduction act. I'm still not sure which came first, I
suspect it was the federal regulations and NARUC adopted them (as
guidelines not regulations) and encouraged states to adopt the same
requirements so there would be consistency in state and federal rules.
The original retentions were broad and intended to capture the whole range
of documentation that a utility might possess. Someone went to a great deal
of trouble searching the various federal agencies and consolidating the
findings in these documents. But the paperwork reduction act came into
being and FERC began removing items that were not in it's jurisdiction -
which wasn't to say those items no longer needed to be retained, just that
they were outside FERC's jurisdiction to require them - other agencies
(SEC, IRS, NRC) still had their own requirements to be met, they just had
to be codified elsewhere. Consequently many states continued to use the
"old" NARUC guidelines, or (such as my state, California) the 1972 version
of FERC for their own audit/retention requirements.
So NARUC alone is probably best considered an "industry practice." but
depending on differing state' s public utility commission, they may have
become adopted as regulations.
