Sec. 4.120  Contracts for public utility services.

    The Act, in paragraph (5) of section 7, exempts from its provisions 
``any contract for public utility services, including electric light and 
power, water, steam, and gas.'' This exemption is applicable to 
contracts for such services with companies whose rates therefor are 
regulated under State, local, or Federal law governing operations of 
public utility enterprises. Contracts entered into with public utility 
companies to furnish services through the use of service employees, 
other than those subject to such rate regulation, are not exempt from 
the Act. Among the contracts included in the exemption would be those 
between Federal electric power marketing agencies and investor-owned 
electric utilities, Rural Electrification Administration cooperatives, 
municipalities and State agencies engaged in the transmission and sale 
of electric power and energy.
