    Take notice that on February 25, 2002, the California Electricity 
Oversight Board (Complainant) filed a complaint against specified 
sellers of long term power contracts to the California Department of 
Water Resources (Respondents) alleging that the prices, terms, and 
conditions of such contracts are unjust and unreasonable and not in the 
public interest. Complainant alleges that Respondents obtained the 
prices, terms, and conditions in the contracts through the exercise of 
market power, in violation of the Federal Power Act, and that the 
prices, terms, and conditions are causing injury to the citizens and 
ratepayers of California and the State's economy.
