GAO also concluded that FERC faced significant human capital challenges to transform its workforce to meet such changes. In responding to the report, FERC said that the new Office of Market Oversight and Investigations (OMOI) it was creating and human capital improvements under way would address these concerns. GAO was asked to report on FERC's progress in (1) establishing an oversight and enforcement capability for competitive energy markets and (2) improving agency-wide human capital management. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-845/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-845.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-845/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-845.pdf GAO-03-845 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-845 Other Written Product GAO-03-845; Energy Markets: additional Actions Would Help Ensure That FERC's Oversight and Enforcement Capability Is Comprehensive and Systematic; Competition Electric energy Electric utilities Natural gas Prices and pricing Regulatory agencies Utility rates Human resources utilization Federal agency reorganization Agency missions Performance measures
