Description
Argued September 16, 1999 Petition for Review of Orders of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge Rogers. Southern California Edison Company (""Edison"") appeals two orders of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (""FERC"") interpreting the ""small power production facility"" provision of § 3(17) of the Federal Power Act to permit such a facility to use fossil fuels to supplement alternative fuels in a manner not expressly authorized under the statute.1 Edison contends that § 3(17)(A) & (B), on which FERC relied, is unambiguous, and consequently the two orders cannot stand. FERC, in response, contends that § 3(17)(B) is ambiguous and that the court must defer to FERC's reasonable interpretation of the statute inasmuch as it fosters the congressional purpose of encouraging the development of power production from alternative fuel sources by addressing circumstances that Congress could not have foreseen.
