Heading: Federal Circuit Jurisdiction

Text: 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a) provides that “[t]he United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit shall have exclusive jurisdiction . . . (11) of an appeal under section 211 of the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970; (12) of an appeal under section 5 of the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973.” Among the relevant provisions of the ESA and the EPAA were the crude oil price controls, which formed the basis for the controversy resolved by the FSA. The Federal Circuit succeeded to this jurisdiction upon abolition of the Temporary Emergency Court of Appeals (“TECA”) in 1993. See Pub. L. 102-572 § 102(d), (e) (1992). Thus, this court cannot exercise jurisdiction over appeals “under” these statutes.
