 !Messrs. Chairmen:

      We appreciate this opportunity to discuss with you the

 manner in which DOE's Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is

 implementing Public Law 96-501, the Pacific Northwest Electric

 Power Planning and Conservation Act of December 5, 1980. As

 you know, the act made EPA responsible for meeting the power

I needs of its customer in a least cost manner, and for establish-

ing programs to conserve electricity, develop renewable energies,.

protect fish and wildlife, and encourage public participation in

the formulation of regional power policies; Bonneville'fs programs

under the act are to further the multiple purposes of t e act

in ways which are consistent with each other and with-applicable

environmental laws.

      The act established a regional planning council to prepare

 and adopt a conservation and electric power plan, incluoing a

 program to protect and enhance fish and wildlife. The Council's

 plan is to be completed by early 1983. The act mandates that

 that the Council's plan give priority to cost-qffective resources
