[Docket No. EF94-2091-000]

    Take notice that on March 30, 1994, the Bonneville Power 
Administration (Bonneville) tendered for filing a proposed rate (CO-94 
Capacity Ownership Rate) pursuant to section 7(a)(2) of the Pacific 
Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act, 16 U.S.C. 
839e(a)(2). Bonneville further states in its filing that in accordance 
with sections 7(a)(2) and 7(i)(6) of the Northwest Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 
839e(a)(2) and 839e(i)(6), and pursuant to 18 CFR 300.10(3)(ii), it 
requests interim approval of CO-94, to be effective no later than 60 
days from the date of its filing, March 30, 1994. Bonneville further 
states that it requests waiver of the requirements of 
Sec. 300.10(a)(3)(iii) pursuant to 18 CFR 300.13, and asks the 
Commission to grant final approval of CO-94 pursuant to 18 CFR 300.21 
as expeditiously as possible, but no later than 90 days from the date 
of its filing, March 30, 1994. Bonneville asserts that expeditious 
approval will permit Pacific Northwest scheduling utilities and joint 
agencies to use the rights provided by this transaction as soon as 
possible, and would enable Bonneville not only to collect the payments 
for the estimated Capacity Ownership price but to also use the receipts 
to return funds to the United States Treasury.
    Bonneville states that the rate for which it seeks confirmation and 
approval is a new rate to recover a share of the actual capital and 
related costs associated with (a) the sale of 725 MW of transmission 
capacity on the Pacific Northwest Alternating Current Intertie for the 
life of the facilities and (b) any upgrades to the Intertie that 
Capacity Owners elect to participate in. Bonneville further states that 
it requests approval of the CO-94 Capacity Ownership Rate for an 
indefinite period to correspond with the life-of-facilities capacity 
rights.
