Sec. 102-82.20  What are Executive agencies' rate intervention 
responsibilities?

    Where the consumer interests of the Federal Government will be 
significantly affected and upon receiving a delegation of authority from 
GSA, Executive agencies must provide representation in proceedings 
involving utility services before Federal and State regulatory bodies. 
Specifically, these responsibilities include instituting formal or 
informal action before Federal and State regulatory bodies to contest 
the level, structure, or applicability of rates or service terms of 
utility suppliers. The Secretary of Defense

is independently authorized to take such actions without a delegation 
from GSA when the Secretary determines such actions to be in the best 
interests of national security.
