The President of the United States by Executive Order No. 6251, dated August 19, 1933, authorized and directed the Federal Power Commission to make "a survey of the water resources of the United States as they relate to the conservation, development, control, and utilization of water power; of the relation of water power to other industries and to interstate and foreign commerce; and of the transmission of electrical energy in the United States and its distribution to consumers;

Under this authority the work of the National Power Survey was continued during the fiscal year 1936 until March 20, 1936, at which time the staff was transferred to the regular roll of the Federal Power Commission to assist in the performance of the duties delegated to the Commission by the Federal Power Act. During the period from July 1, 1935, to March 20, 1936, the National Power Survey completed a report on the Principal Electric Utility Systems in the United States, since published by the Federal Power Commission as Power Series No. 2. Investigations and studies were continued during this period on related subjects, particularly the Cost of Distribution of Electricity, since published as Power Series No. 3; the Use of Electric Power in Transportation. since published as Power Series No. 4; Statistical Review of Power Plants and Generation of the Public Utility Industry; Statistics of Electric Generating Plants in the United States, since published as Power Series No. 6; Power Requirements of the Electrochemical, Electrometallurgical, and Allied Industries: the Uses and Requirements for Electric Energy in the Manufacturing Industries; and Production of Energy from Fuels and Water Power. Among the subjects investigated and studied in detail during this period were the Coordination of Power Resources and Requirements in the Southeastern States and Power from Major Federal Projects. Many other special studies, compilations, aud statistical reports were made. Two large wall maps in color were completed and published, namely, Service Areas of the Principal Electric Utility Systems in the United States and Principal Generating Plants and Electric Transmission Lines of the United States. A wall chart entitled "Corporate Relationship of the Principal Electric Utility Systems in the United States" was also completed and published.
