Summary and Statement of the 

Chairman 

Appendix 1—Commission Voting 

Summary 

On this matter, Chairman Gensler and 

Commissioners Sommers, Chilton, O’Malia 

and Wetjen voted in the affirmative. No 

Commissioner voted in the negative. 

Appendix 2—Statement of Chairman 

Gary Gensler 

I support the final order regarding certain 

electricity and electricity-related energy 

transactions between rural electric 

cooperatives and/or federal, state, municipal, 

and tribal power authorities (as defined in 

section 201F of the Federal Power Act). 

Congress authorized that these transactions 

be exempt from certain provisions of the 

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 

Consumer Protection Act, which is consistent 

with previous exemptions Congress has 

granted from the Federal Power Act. For 

decades, these entities have been generally 

recognized as performing a public service 

mission to provide their customers or 

cooperative members with reliable, 

affordable electric energy service. They have 

been largely exempt from regulation by the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

because of their government entity status or 

their not-for-profit cooperative status. 

This final order responds to a petition filed 

by a group of these cooperatives and 

authorities and has benefitted from public 

input. 

The scope of the final order is carefully 

tailored to physically backed electricity and 

electricity-related energy transactions that are 

necessary for the generation, transmission 

and delivery of electric energy services to 

customers.
