Dear Sir or Madam:
This letter is provided in compliance with 10 CFR 140.21, which requires annual filing of a guarantee of payment of deferred premiums in the amount of $15 million for each licensed reactor.
Energy Northwest obtains revenue from Columbia Generating Station by selling the capability of the plant. The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), an agency of the Department of Energy, has purchased the entire capability of Columbia Generating Station from certain of its statutory preference customers who in turn purchased such capability from Energy Northwest, all under the Net Billing Agreements. A copy of the Net Billing Agreements-was included as anmattachment of the referenced letter.' Under the terms of the Net Billing Agreements, BPA is obligated to pay the total annual costs of C61umrbia Generating Station'to EInergy Northwest.
It is the opinion of BPA's general counsel that "Bonneville is obligated to pay costs of ownership, operation and maintenance, including costs of insurance and specifically the insurance obligation provided through the Price Anderson Act."
The opinion of'BPA regardingitheir ilobligation to pay satisfies the requiriements of 10 CFR 140.21(f)". If you, have any questions, please contact Mr. RA-Bresnahan at (509) 372-5730.
