Congressional Affairs facilitates the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's relationship with Congress to address issues within FERC's jurisdiction, such as the regulation of the interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas, and oil, proposals to build liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals and interstate natural gas pipelines, as well as licensing hydropower projects. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 gave FERC additional responsibilities as outlined in FERC's top priorities and updated Strategic Plan web pages.
Congressional Affairs also works closely with members of Congress and staff to provide Congressional Testimony, to give technical assistance when requested, to answer inquiries and to offer briefings on Commission actions.
