The Public Utilities Board of the City of Brownsville, Texas would like to clarify its position on the varicus drafts of possible transmission provisions to be incluced in a cessible overali settlement agreement (or separate settlement agreement) for resolving the above-referenced cutstanding PERC and NRC prcceecines, as proposed by the three

Companies.

Brownsville is unwilling to acceot any total settlement and therefore any individual case settlement unless there are specific rates, terms and conditions concerning transmission wheeling services for all types of bulk power wheeling:

Page 2 July 23, 1980 (a) to, from and over the DC interconnections (if DC can be justified as part of the settlement); and

-(b) throughout the ERCOT area; uoon a mutually agreed basis.

Such rates would then be made effective at the time of settlement, subject to subsecuent change as follows:

(i) by unilateral filing, subject to refund, where only increased costs, accruing after the effective cate, are being fl0wec througn into :ne rates; or (ii) after hearings or opportunity for hearings and regulatory aoproval cf a filing, where the Aoplican seeks to change the ra:e cesign or structure or uncerlying cost allocation methods.

While there are other important aspects of the proposed settle-ment which still raise serious unresolved questions, we see no point in addressing :nese unless agreement can be reacned on the transmission arrange-ments and rates.

We will be happy to engage in serious discussions re-garoing transmission with any party to the proceeding, but we urge an all-party meeting to seek agreement on transmission.

After that, other ascects of the croposed se:tlements can be accressec.

Sincerely,
