M, GABIOLA <br />Augus t 5, 1982 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Environments and economics of local communities and regions have <br />been built which rely upon the allocation of federal power and <br />energy (and the right to subsequently contract therefore), There <br />is no philosophical nor legal precedent for the termination of <br />allocations, <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />MARKETING AREA <br /> <br />The City of Mesa believes that the marketing area should be <br />retained as stated in current CRSP general power marketimJ). <br />criteria dated February 9, ~J97l5.

CRSP LOAD FACTOR <br /> <br />CRSP power should be marketed at a seasonal load factor of at <br />least. 58.2%.

Rates and financial integrity for <br />these projects should be kept separate. <br /> <br />7.
