A description of the questions presented by the case has been prepared:

1. Whether the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has jurisdiction under the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 792 et seq., to regulate all transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce, including interstate transmission of electric energy that is sold to retail customers at a bundled price. Whether FERC had jurisdiction and the obligation under the EPA to eliminate pervasive undue discrimination in the provision of interstate electric energy transmission services by requiring transmission-owning utilities to provide interstate transmission services on the same terms to all users, for all interstate transmissions, including transmissions dundled with retail sales. Whether the court of appeals erred in ruling that FERC had discretion to interpret the FPA as denying FERC the necessary jurisdiction to remedy the undue discrimination it had found in the provision of interstate transmission.
