handle is hein.gao/gaobackgm0001 and id is 1 raw text is: United States GAO General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division B-252738 March 31, 1993 The Honorable George Miller Chairman, Committee on Natural Resources House of Representatives 148851 Dear Mr. Chairman: This letter with enclosures responds to your February 1993 request that we summarize our work on the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) since the enactment in 1980 of the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (Northwest Power Act). You asked that we include our relevant work on other federal agencies involved in the operations of the BPA system. These include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation, which operate dams on the Columbia River; the Department of Energy, BPA's parent agency; and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service, which are responsible for protecting the Columbia River's endangered and threatened fish species. To respond to your request, we searched GAO's automated database to identify products on BPA and the related agencies issued from December 1980, when the Northwest Power Act was enacted, to the present. For those products in which we had recommended that an agency or agencies take action, we retrieved from other GAO automated files the documentation indicating whether and how the agency or agencies had responded to the recommendation(s). We reviewed each of the identified products for content and relevance. As agreed with your office, we categorized the products according to the issues identified in your letter and several related issues. Each of the eight enclosures to this letter summarizes our work on one of these issues, as follows: Enclosure I - Financial Management Enclosure II - Endangered Species Enclosure III - Resource Acquisition Enclosure IV - Irrigation Enclosure V - Electricity Transmission GAOIRCED-93-133R, GAO Products on Bonneville Power Administration
