Western Area Power Administration's Policy for the Purchase of 
Non-Hydropower Renewable Resources

AGENCY: Western Area Power Administration, DOE.

ACTION: Correction notice of non-hydropower renewable resources policy.

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

SUMMARY: The following SUMMARY replaces the version that published on 
August 20, 1996, 61 FR 43051.
    The Western Area Power Administration (Western) considered adopting 
a policy to purchase a portion of its expected purchase power 
requirements on a project-by-project basis and in a competitive manner, 
from non-hydropower renewable resource producers. The concept also 
included a proposal to purchase 50 percent of those purchases from 
solar resources. In response to comments on the proposed policy, 
Western decided to adopt a modified policy. Western's policy focuses on 
technical assistance and facilitation of renewables, as opposed to a 
mandatory purchase power set-aside for renewables.

    Issued in Washington, D. C. on August 26, 1996.
Joel K. Bladow,
Assistant Administrator.
