GRID Act
HR 6185, the GRID Act, requires federal agencies to submit proposed rules, regulations, or other actions that could harm North America's electric grid reliability to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for review. Federal agencies (like cabinet departments) must provide these proposals to FERC before finalizing them, allowing FERC to comment on potential grid impacts. The agency must then respond in writing to FERC's comments before moving forward, with all comments and responses made publicly available. This process directly affects federal agencies proposing actions that could impact grid reliability, creating a mandatory review step to safeguard the bulk-power system.
