Availability of the Non-Federal Participation Capacity Ownership 
Contracts and Section 9(c) Policy Record of Decision

AGENCY: Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), DOE.

ACTION: Notice of Record of Decision (ROD) on Non-Federal Participation 
Capacity Ownership Contracts and Section 9(c) Policy.

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

SUMMARY: Today's notice announces the availability of the ROD for Non-
Federal Participation Capacity Ownership Contracts and Section 9(c) 
Policy.
    Capacity Ownership allows non-Federal utilities to purchase up to 
725 megawatts (MW) of contract rights of use BPA's share of alternating 
current (AC) Intertie capacity, which was increased upon completion of 
the Third AC Intertie transmission project. The Capacity Ownership 
contracts establish the terms and conditions for use of the non-Federal 
parties' share of the Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest AC Intertie.
    The Non-Federal Participation, Northwest Power Act, Section 9(c) 
Policy (Non-Federal Participation Section 9(c) Policy) establishes the 
guidelines for BPA determinations of whether the export of a regional 
resources will result in an increase in the electric requirements of 
any of BPA's customers in the Pacific Northwest, and whether the 
resource could be conserved or otherwise retained in the Pacific 
Northwest for service to load in the Pacific Northwest. The guidelines 
will pertain to Non-Federal Participation determinations related to 
initial exports by non-Federal parties of up to 725 MW of regional 
resources over their Capacity Ownership share; and subsequent related 
determinations whenever Pacific Northwest resources are exported 
whether by such non-Federal parties or by third parties over a New 
Owner's Capacity Ownership share.
