It is essential that transmission services, BPA's premier 

 product, continue to be offered at a regionally, cost-competetive 

 level. It is also critical to the success of the region, for BPA 

 to provide open access to these transmission services with 

 sensitivity to regional preference. 



With regard to the DSI's, it is clear that they are not 

 preference customers. SUB believes that the DSI's should pay no 

 less than comparable industrial customers of utilities. Any new 

 contracts with them should include significant notice requirements 

 for load elimination or reduction and a market sensitive method for 

 calculation of the VOR. Our understanding of the current situation 

 is included in our written comments.
