§2634 — Title 16 Conservation | U.S. Code

Summary

State utility cases about electric companies that began before November 9, 1978 will count as following the federal rules in subchapters I and II and this subchapter if they mostly match those rules. If a state or nonregulated electric utility case started before November 9, 1978 but was not finished by that date, the parts of the case that happen after that date must follow the federal rules as much as possible, unless section 2631(c) says otherwise. For certain listed standards in section 2621(d), the November 9, 1978 date is replaced by later dates: for paragraphs (11)–(15) use August 8, 2005; for paragraphs (20) and (21) use November 15, 2021.
