Dear Mr. Funches:

On September 2, 1986, Brazos filed its responses to Staff's inquiries relating to new activities and present circumstances. Brazos served copies of its comments on representatives of each of its co-applicants, as indicated on the certificate of service. In addition, Brazos has forwarded its comments to CASE, the intervenor active in the Operating License proceeding. If any other individuals or organizations should be served with copies of Brazos's comments, please inform me by letter or telephone.

Additionally, Brazos has discovered that the letter of July 7, 1986 labeled as Exhibit All to its comments was included in error--that letter is a draft that differs somewhat from the actual letter sent nine days later. Six copies of the correct Exhibit All are enclosed, and copies are being forwarded to all parties served with Brazos's comments.

Sincerely yours, Ben Finkelstein Counsel for Brazos Electric Power Cooperative, Inc.

RICHARD E. McCAsKILL EXECUTIVE YlCE P ESOENT July 16, 1986 AND GENERAL MANAGER Mr. John W. Beck Vice President Texas Utilities Generating Company Skyway Tower 400 North Olive Street, L.B. 81 Dallas, Texas 75201

Dear John:

We have received your July 14, 1986 letter, concerning the NRC antitrust review. We shall follow your suggestion that we respond directly to the

( NRC. In this context, I note that Section 20 of our Joint Ownership Agree-ment for Qmanche Peak restricts our ability to transmit power and energy in interstate commerce. Similar language is found in other contracts with your company. I am advised by our counsel that Section 20, and similar pro-visions in other contracts, restrain trade through their effect of restrict-ing Brazos to buying and selling within the ERCOT area of Texas.

Two simple examples point up the difficulty that Section 20 brings:

1. If Comanche Peak continues to be delayed (and we are forced to retain our ownership share), we cannot practically replace such deficient power and energy from economical power supply sources outside of ERCOT.

2. Brazos has made application for 7.5 MW of non-ERCOT SWPA power.

The value to us of such power is greatly reduced because of our inability to have normal A.C. transmission of such power.

We therefore, request that we be released from such " interstate" clauses.

Since your response is necessary to respond to the NRC antitrust review, I t
