. boring entity (ies) providing for the sale and exchange of short-term power and energy,. limited term power and energy, economy energy, non-displacement energy, and emergency capacity'and energy. Applicant will enter int >
contracts providing for the same or for like transactions with any neighboring-entity on terms which enable applicant to recover the ful1 costs allocable to such transaction.

. Applicant currently sells capacity and energy in bulk on a -
4 full requirements basis to several entities engaging in the distribution of electric power at retail. In addition, applicant supplies electricity directly to ultimate users in a number of municipalities. Should any such entity (ies) or municipality (ies) desire to become a neighboring entity as I'
defined in 51(b) he.reof.(either alone or through combination with other), applicant will assist in facilitating the necessary transition through the sale of partial requirements firm power and energy. The provision of such firm partial requirements service shall be under such r.ites, terms and conditions as shall be found by the Federal Power Commission to provide for the recovery of applicant's costs. Applicant will sell capacity and energy in bulk on a full requirements basis to any municipality currently served by applicant when such municipality lawfully engages in the distribution of electric power at retail.
5.
(a) Applicant will facilitate the exchange of electric power in bulk in wholesale transactions over its transmission facilities (1) between or among two or more neighboring entities, including distribution systems with which it is interconnected or may be interconnected in the future, and (2) between any such entity (ies) and any other electric system engaging in bulk power supply between whose facilities applicant's transmission lines and other transmission lines would form a continuous electric path,. provided that permission to utilize such other transmission lines has been obtained. Such trans-action shall be undertaken provided that the particular transaction reasonably can be accommodated by applicant's transmission system from a functional and
. technical standpoint and does not constitute the wheeling of power to a retail customer. Such transmission shall be on terms that fully compensate applicant for its cost.
Any entity (ies) requesting such transmission arrange-ments shall give reasonable notice of its (their) schedule and requirements.

- (b) Applicant will include'in its planning and construction program, sufficient transmission capacity as required
-for the transactions referred to in subparagraph (a) of
~ his paragraph, provided that (1),the neighboring t
entity (ies) gives applicant sufficient advance notice as may be necessary reasonably to accommodate its (their) requirements from a functional and technical standpoint and (2) that such entity (ies) fully. compensates applicant for its cost. In carrying out this subparagraph (b),
however, applicant shall.not be required to construct or add transmission facilities which (a) will be of no demonstrable present or future benefit to applicant, or (b) which could be constructed by the requesting entity (ies) without duplicating any portion of applicant's existing transmission lines, or (c) which would jeopardize applicant's ability to finance or construct on reasonable terms facilities needed to meet its own anticipated system requirements. Where regulatory or environmental approvals are required for the construc-tion or addition of transmission facilities, needed for the transactions referred to in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph, it shall be the responsibility of the entity (ies) seeking the transaction to participate in obtaining such approvals, including sharing in the cost thereof.
6.
To increase the ' possibility of achieving greater reliability and economy of electric generation and transenission facilities, applicant will discuss load projections and system development plans with any. neighboring entity (ies).
7 When applicant's plar>s for future nuclear generating units (fnr which application will hereafter be made to the Atomic Energy Commission) tave reached the stage of serious planning, but before f.rm decisions have been made as to the size and desired cumpletion date of the proposed nuclear i
units, applicant will notify.all neighboring entities, includinc distribution systems with peak loads smaller than applicant's, that applicant plans to construct such nuclear units. Neither the timing nor the information provided need be such as to jeopardize obtaining the required site at the lowest possible cost.

Tu foregoing commitments shall be implemented in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Federal Power Act and all other lawful local, state and Federal regulation and authority. Nothing in these commitments is intended to determine in advance the resolution of issues which are s
