Hydroelectric Regulatory Studies.
This series of reports and report summaries describes and analyzes the hydroelectric regulatory process of various states. They include a discussion of state water law, environmental regulation, hydroelectric construction regulation, state tax, and finance issues. An introductory section explains the relationship of state and Federal hydroelectric regulation. The Federal report provides similar analysis of the role of the Federal Government in the regulation and development of hydroelectric projects. These reports were presented at regional conferences. The conference reports contain the proceedings of the conference.

Case Study Reports
These case study reports examine the process of development at a particular hydropower site from a regulatory, economic, tax, and finance perspective. The studies examine development by various entities, including private development, municipal development, development at an Army Corps dam, and utility development. A summary report of all five case studies highlights the findings of each report.

Reports on Avoided Cost Ratemaking
This series of reports examines the initial implementation of Section 210 of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) by various state public utility commissions. The reports highlight the various legal, policy, and economic issues addressed by the particular regulatory commission. The reports also examine any state laws modeled after PURPA and their relationship to the Federal law. Each report contains annotations of the PURPA rulemaking, which highlight the various interpretations of the rule by state commissions. Developer handbooks contain this information as well as information on the various electric utilities within the state.
