BUCKLEY, Circuit Judge:

In 1992, Congress amended the Public Utility Holding Company Act to encourage competition in the market for electric power. The Securities & Exchange Commission promulgated regulations implementing the amendments. The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners now petitions for review, challenging the regulations on the ground that they are inconsistent with the amendments. We deny the petition.
