Termination of the Common Support Agreement

Gao ID: RCED-83-28 November 10, 1982

GAO reviewed the efforts of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to terminate the Common Support Agreement between FERC and the Department of Energy (DOE). This termination would transfer from DOE to FERC the responsibility for performing certain administrative functions in support of FERC.

GAO found that estimates of the resources needed to perform the support functions, which were made by FERC, were not based on a complete evaluation. GAO also found that FERC is not yet prepared for an orderly, economical transfer of the administrative support functions from DOE.
