Highlights

A member of Congress requested views on how a proposed Senate bill aligns with three issues GAO raised in a recent report. The report addressed whether a proposed House bill could expose regional power consumers to more rate increases from construction cost overruns on non-Federal powerplants backed by the Bonneville Power Administration. It considered how passage or failure of the legislation would impact on Bonneville's direct service industrial (DSI) customers and on anadromous fishes in the Columbia River system. A brief review of the Senate bill revealed various amended provisions relating to these issues.
