The Shallow State: The Federal Communications Commission And The New Deal, Daniel R. Ernst
The Shallow State: The Federal Communications Commission And The New Deal, Daniel R. Ernst
University of Pennsylvania Journal of Law and Public Affairs
American lawyers and law professors commonly turn to the New Deal for insights into the law and politics of today’s administrative state. Usually, they have looked to agencies created in the 1930s that became the foundation of the postwar political order. Some have celebrated these agencies; others have deplored them as the core of an elitist, antidemocratic Deep State. This Article takes a different tack by studying the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and its predecessor the Federal Radio Commission (FRC), an agency created before the New Deal. For most of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first two presidential terms, the FCC languished …

Providing Optimal Value To Energy Consumers Through Microgrids, Gregory T. Bischoping
Providing Optimal Value To Energy Consumers Through Microgrids, Gregory T. Bischoping
University of Pennsylvania Journal of Law and Public Affairs
Microgrids are an increasingly popular means of making a smaller, smarter, cleaner, and more resilient energy grid. When Superstorm Sandy hit the northeast states, a few microgrids continued to provide their constituents with energy for weeks while the rest of the grid was down. Microgrids typically involve small-scale energy generation coupled with nearby storage and distribution, and are connected to, but capable of disconnecting from, the macrogrid during a power outage.
This Comment will analyze the economics of microgrids, focusing on the necessity of effective cost-benefit analyses. In order to allow for the development of microgrids, regulators should create appropriate …

Cra Resolutions Against Agency Guidance, Keith Bradley, Larisa Vaysman
Cra Resolutions Against Agency Guidance, Keith Bradley, Larisa Vaysman
University of Pennsylvania Journal of Law and Public Affairs
After years of dormancy, the Congressional Review Act (“CRA”) suddenly plays a prominent role in agency policymaking. Under the CRA, Congress has overturned multiple major regulations adopted by the Obama Administration, and the campaign continues. The next stage in this rollback appears to be a program of invalidating agency guidance documents, policy statements, and interpretations. That possibility has frightened many observers because it appears to expose an enormous additional amount of policymaking to CRA attack. We argue that, to the contrary, using the CRA in an attempt to overrule agency policy statements and interpretations will be fruitless, and the effort …
