CHANTILLY, VA — The Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association (SMACNA) has expressed its support for an amendment introduced by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) to transfer authority over anticompetitive utility practices to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
In a letter to the U.S. Senate, SMACNA applauded Sen. Wyden for “demonstrating leadership in attempting to preserve competition for important energy services and to shield ratepayers form the costs and risks of improper financial transactions and conduct between affiliates.”
