Tal circunstância desafia a análise não apenas da constitucionalidade da referida norma federal, mas também a definição da competência dos Tribunais de Contas da União ou dos Estados e Municípios para o controle externo, já que não há previsão normativa na Lei Federal nº 13.848/2019.

Abstract: The supervenience of the Federal Law n. 13.848, edited on the 29 th June, 2019, establishing rules about the admi- nistration, the organization, the process of the decision making and also about the social control of the Independent Regulatory Agencies in Brazil opens the opportunity to review the deba- tes about the boundaries of the accountability assumed by the Courts of Accounts in the subject, in order to strengthen the ba- ses of an institutional dialogue and the administrative justice. The matter assumes importance specially due to the clau- se in Article 14 of the above mentioned statute, which expressly admits that the Regulatory Agencies are subject to the control of the Courts of Accounts, stressing, therefore, the need for setting the limits and outlines by which that control is to be exercised. It is also important to highlight that the Federal Law n. 13.848/2019 has innovated when it stablishes, generically, in Ar- ticles 34 and 35, the “cooperative regulatory relation” between the federal independent agencies and those sub-nationals ones, comprehending the delegation of relevant assignments, inclu- ding the authority to impose sanctions. This circumstance chal- lenges not only the constitutionality of the clauses, but also the competence of the Courts of Accounts to the external control, gi- ven that there is no express normative mention to it in the Fede- ral Law n. 13.848/2019.
