Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

Has Expedited Case Processing;

Additional Improvements Needed


The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
has implemented most of the recommenda-
tions made in GAO's July 15, 1980, report
on the need for the Commission to expedite
its processing of various types of applica-
tions (such as rate increase and licensing
requests) from the electric power, natural
gas, and oil pipeline industries. T he result is
that the number of cases backlogged be-
yond what the Commission considers a
reasonable processing time has decreased
from about 3,600 cases in fiscal year 1978
to about 2,000 cases in fiscal year 1982.
The Commission, however, could further
reduce the number of backlog cases by act-
ing on the remaining recommendations
cited in the report.
