Notice of Availability of Record of Decision for Direct Service 
Industrial Customer Power Sales Contract

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

ACTION: Notice of Availability of Record of Decision (ROD).

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

SUMMARY: BPA has negotiated new power sales contracts with its Direct 
Service Industry (DSI) customers and has decided to execute 5-year 
block power sales with the DSIs. The contracts will maintain a 
reasonable level of load which would otherwise be lost to BPA and will 
produce a 5-year revenue stream for BPA that is sufficient, when 
combined with other revenues, to meet BPA's financial and statutory 
obligations. These power sales contracts are also designed to meet the 
needs of the DSIs and are comparable to competing offers being made by 
other utilities, marketers, and brokers to the DSIs. In making this 
decision, BPA is continuing its Market-Driven approach for 
participation in the increasingly competitive electric power market.
    This notice announces the availability of the ROD for executing 5-
year power sales contracts with these DSI customers. This decision is 
consistent with BPA's Business Plan, Business Plan 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 
may be obtained by calling BPA's toll-free document request line: 1-
800-622-4520.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT: John M. Taves--ECN, Bonneville Power 
Administration, P.O. Box 3621, Portland, Oregon, 97208-3621, phone

    Public Availability: This ROD will be distributed to all interested 
and affected persons and agencies.

    Issued in Portland, Oregon, on September 28, 1995.

Acting Administrator.
