Amendatory Agreement to the 1981 Power Sales Contracts

AGENCY: Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), Department of Energy 
(DOE).

ACTION: Notice of availability of supplemental Record of Decision 
(ROD).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On February 16, 1996, I signed a Record of Decision addressing 
my decision to provide certain of BPA's Federal and public agency 
metered requirements purchasers with an opportunity to amend their 1981 
Power Sales Contracts (1981 PSC). This opportunity took the form of an 
Amendatory Agreement to the 1981 PSC. The Amendatory Agreement was 
first offered to customers on February 21, 1996. It has now become 
apparent that certain aspects of the Amendatory Agreement have caused 
concern for some of BPA's customers and that, by revising the 
Amendatory Agreement to address these concerns, it will be possible for 
many more customers to accept the agreement than would be the case if 
the agreement remained unchanged. Therefore, I have decided to 
incorporate changes in the Amendatory Agreement being offered to 
customers and to offer to include these changes in any Amendatory 
Agreements already accepted by customers. This notice announces the 
availability of the Supplemental ROD to address changes made to the 
original Amendatory Agreement. 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 Supplemental ROD, the original ROD on the 
Amendatory Agreement, the BP EIS, and the Business Plan ROD may be 
obtained by calling BPA's toll-free document request line: 1-800-622-
4520.
