But ust <br />� beneath this Potemkin facade af apparent bureaucratic bcnedic- <br />�F tion, the FPC proposal is stirring up old and new irritatians within <br />4 other federal agencies. <br />�` The �PC pro posai was left loosely constructe d o n p u rp o s e t o <br />' h permit resolution of such difiiculties perhaps taking some years <br />- ��� N�'/; ic� work out. For ex�mple, thcrc is �no definition of rc ions for <br />� <br />planning councils; there is the undefinca mcmbership and voting <br />`�j'a V V t/ f� t C� ts' structure of the councils; tiiere is thc unspecified impact of council <br />attitudc or votc on transmission proposals that go subsequcntly <br />���� �� `�� to the FPC fQr certification. <br />.�� There's a general conscnsus in W:ishi<<�;ton's power agcncies <br />that thc lcgislation has mslny long-range advantagcs to fcdcral and <br />- prefercnce systems—in coordination, power-pooling; �r�d coopera- <br />_T tion. After thcsc generalities, conscnsus scems to dwindle. <br />Interior's Bureau of Reclamation is rcported lo be lhe most <br />unhappy agency, facing thc prospcct of goic�g through I�PC ccrti- <br />� fication procedures bcfore sccking Congressional autl�orizatioa� <br />or funding for transmission facilities. Onc wondcrs how such a <br />- law might have changcd the outcomc of Coneressional clebatc <br />over th� Upper Colorado prujcct lines and thc Wcst Coast intcrtie. <br />Bonneville Power Administration, by contrast, is morc favor- <br />ablc, as its administrator, David Black, helpcd drafi thc bill whilc <br />,. he was an FPC commissioncr. Southcastcrn Powcr Adminis�.-ation <br />has no pracedural problem, sincc it docsn't build linc:� ar,yway; <br />while Southwestern Power Administration is just moving into <br />jurisdictional transmission ot: ovcr 200 kv. <br />TVA, also, would ncccl rPC ccrtification bcforc builciing big <br />lines—a new step beforc linancing thcm. <br />REA, likc SWPA, isn't much involvcd with thc largcr lincs, but <br />philosophically, it qucstions FPC rcvicw of its loans for sucli lincs. <br />REA probably woulcl makc ]c�ans for thc big lincs, conditiancd <br />upon subsequent FYC certification—as REA now makcs state- <br />commission approval �i cc�ndition ul' gcncr.ilion loans. Though <br />REA is f�irly silcnt o,n criticism, a key co-op suPportcr in thc <br />Congress indicatcs possible FPC juritidietion ovcr REA loans. <br />Only recently, the Housc Agriculturc Committcc rejcctcd FPC <br />revicw of REA gcncration loans in a major amcndmcnt to thc <br />REA bank '�ill. <br />Both thc National Rural Electric Cc.�-op and American Public <br />Power Associations have no comment yct on the bill, but botli <br />� have special committees duc to decide their positions, most likely <br />by early July. They could casily propose critical amendmcnts sub- <br />gesting exemption of co-op or publir. systems, whilc gencrally <br />` supporiing the majority of the bill's provisions. <br />� Congressional cammittees also arc potential sources of o�posi- <br />` tion. ThP Senate Commerce Committee almost ccrtainly will takc <br />` up the bill by mid-July, followcd later by its House cc�unterpart; <br />� but the Senaic and House Public Works, Interior, and Appropria- <br />� tions Committccs could �hal��.^.6� ,;;� �;;; u; Erp;�jng t�j�ji �reroga- <br />� tives.
