SUMMARY: BPA has decided to provide certain of its Federal and public 
agency customers with an opportunity to amend their 1981 Power Sales 
Contracts. The Amendatory Agreement addresses changes in the electric 
power marketplace and the changing needs of BPA's customers. In 
offering the Amendatory Agreement, BPA will facilitate business 
relationships with its customers, improve the long-term attractiveness 
of BPA as a power supplier, enhance BPA's competitiveness, and provide 
public benefits. This decision is a direct application of BPA's earlier 
decision to use a market-driven approach for participation in the 
increasingly competitive electric power market.
    This notice announces the availability of the ROD to offer the 
Amendatory Agreement to the 1981 Power Sales Contracts. This decision 
is consistent with BPA's Business Plan, the Business Plan Final 
Environmental Impact Statement (BP EIS) (DOE/EIS-0183, June 1995), and 
the Business Plan ROD (August 15, 1995).

ADDRESSES: Copies of this ROD, the BP EIS, and the Business Plan ROD
