AN ACT
To amend section 202 of the Federal Power Act, with respect to the jurisdiction of the Federal Power Commission over persons and facilities engaged in the transmission or sale of electric energy to foreign countries.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That section 202 of part II of the Federal Power Act is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following subsection:
“(f) The ownership or operation of facilities for the transmission or sale at wholesale of electric energy which is (a) generated within a State and transmitted from that State across an international boundary and not thereafter transmitted into any other State, or (b) generated in a foreign country and transmitted across an International boundary into a State and not thereafter transmitted into any other State, shall not make a person a public utility subject to regulation as such under other provisions of this part. The State within which any such facilities are located may regulate any such transaction insofar as such State regulation does not conflict with the exercise of the Commission’s powers under or relating to subsection 202 (e).”
