[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.
