Kansas Corporation Commission

The Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) is a governmental regulatory body based in Kansas. Employing 117 people, the KCC generates an estimated $100 million in annual revenue. The organization has a rich history, dating back to 1883 when it was first established as the Railroad Commission. The KCC primarily focuses on regulating five key industries within the Kansas economy. These include natural gas, electricity, telephone, transportation, and oil and gas production. Their mandate is to ensure that these vendors provide safe, reliable services at reasonable rates while also safeguarding environmental resources and correlative rights for oil and gas producers. The KCC's regulatory scope encompasses public utilities, common carriers, motor carriers, and oil and gas producers in cases where competition is absent. It's important to note that the KCC does not regulate entities such as electric cooperatives, water cooperatives, municipalities, wireless telephones, long-distance phone services, cable companies, or internet providers.
