Subsection (a) authorizes the reference of any matter arising in the administration of Part II of the Act to a board to be composed of a member or members from the State or States affected or to be affected by particular matters pending before the Federal Power Commission. Subsection (b) authorizes conferences with State commissions regarding the relationship between rate structures, costs, accounts, charges, practices, classifications, and regulations of public utilities subject to the jurisdiction of such State commissions and of the Federal Power Commission, and joint hearings with State commissions in connection with any matter with respect to which the Federal Power Commission is authorized to act.
