? To:? All Direct Access Supporters

From: Mark Seetin

Subject:? Urgent need to contact California Members of Congress to urge their 
support for direct access legislation in the Barton &emergency8 bill H.R. 
1647---Scheduled for Markup tomorrow, May 24

?

Please call or contact one or all of the attached members of congress, all of 
whom have indicated an interest in supporting direct access.? As of today, 
while all have been supportive, we have not gotten a commitment to sponsor.? 
The two most likely, who are members of the Commerce and Energy Committee are 
George Radanovich and Chris Cox.? Mary Bono is also a member of the 
committee.? Doug Ose, a supporter of DA is on the Government Reform.? David 
Dreier has just been elected to head the California Republican caucus, so is 
also a critical link.

?

??????????? Subcommittee chairman Joe Barton (R-TX) supports DA, but needs a 
Californian to sponsor the amendment.? Time is critical*markup is scheduled 
to start at 9:30 am tomorrow.

?

??????????? The draft language is included with this message, as is contact 
information and telephone numbers for the congress members.

?

Call us with any questions? (202) 662-8770

RE:???????????????? Possible Direct Access Language for Inclusion in Barton 
Bill

?

??????????? Having reviewed your proposed language for Section 101(d) - 
DIRECT ACCESS FOR SELLERS AND BUYERS OF ELECTRICITY, I suggest the following 
reworking:

?

??????????? Section 101(d) -?????? DIRECT ACCESS? FOR CERTAIN SELLERS AND?? 
BUYERS OF ELECTRICITY

?

??????????????????????? Within sixty (60) Days after enactment of this 
Section, the FERC shall promulgate a rule that permits certain retail users 
of electricity in the Western Systems Coordinating Council to purchase their 
electric requirements from suppliers other than the distribution utility in 
whose franchise and/or certificated service territory they are located.? 
Retail users eligible for this direct access option shall include all 
non-residential users having a peak-day load requirement in excess of 70 kw.? 
The direct access option shall be phased in according to the following 
schedule:

?

??????????? ?90 Days after enactment:??? 1 MW and greater loads

??????????? 180 Days after enactment:? 300 kw and greater loads

??????????? 270 Days after enactment:? 100 kw and greater loads

??????????? 360 Days after enactment:?? 79 kw and greater loads

?

 

??????????? Section 101(e) - ????? FIRM PHYSICAL TRANSMISSION RIGHTS IN THE?? 
WESTERN SYSTEMS COORDINATING COUNCIL

?

??????????????????????? Within sixty (60) Days' after enactment of this 
Section, the FERC shall promulgate a rule that requires each Independent 
System Operator and/or Regional Transmission Operator responsible for the 
operation of transmission facilities in the Western Systems Coordinating 
Council to adopt measures for the identification and allocation, through 
auction, of firm, physical transmission rights on the systems that they 
manage.? Such rights will be structured to provide physical access through 
defined constrained interfaces ("flowgates") on the transmission system, 
without additional compensation during times of congestion.? The auction 
procedure shall be structured to permit each distribution utility to obtain 
an allocation of rights sufficient to meet the projected requirements of its 
retail load other than load made eligible for direct access under Section 
101(d).? The initial term of the transmission rights so auctioned shall be no 
greater than one year.? Firm physical rights acquired through auction shall 
be resalable, provided, however, that, other than a distribution utility 
acquiring such rights for purposes of serving its residual retail load, no 
market participant, together with its affiliates, shall control in excess of 
25% of the firm physical rights available through any flowgate, without 
express authorization from the FERC.
