The Federal Power Commission (FPC) was an independent commission of the United States government originally organized on June 23 1930 with five members nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. The FPC was originally created in 1920 by the Federal Water Power Act which provided for the licensing by the FPC of hydroelectric projects on the land or navigable water owned by the federal government.
