Abstract: . . .  Section 1253 of the Energy Policy Act also amends PURPA by terminating the mandatory purchase and sale obligations in certain circumstances. The Commission proposed a January 19, 2006, rule on this section of EPAct (Docket No. RM06-10). Today’s final rule, Revised Regulations Governing Small Power Production and Cogeneration Facilities, takes effect 30 days after the rule’s publication in the Federal Register (www.gpoaccess.gov). R-06-10 (30)  . . .

Existing operating and efficiency standards for new oil and gas cogeneration facilities will be retained, the Commission said, while new efficiency standards for new coal-burning facilities will not be imposed . . .
