<br />The audit rzlea.Sed last week was conduclal by TVA's OfGcc oflnspcc
<br />Wr Cn;ncral in n;sponse to a request from TVA's tht'ee-man board of directors.
<br />In a board mae[ing lisst week, TVA Chairman Craven Crflwcll said noel
<br />producers had asked why TVA does not buy more Tennessee coal.
<br />The audit found thatTennatsec coal rcpresen~d jusl4.lS9u or l.g million
<br />tons of the 38b million tuns oC coal purchased by TVA in fiscal year 1994.
<br />Decease of the new contrxt with TMI, "Ihc pcrccntagcof Tcnncssta:-mined
<br />coal purchased by TVA Wray be greater in future yenta," the audit states.

<br />coal is lass compcritivc thnn coil from utlu;rsltnc~ and btxousconly o limited

<br />The audit found drat'fennesseecoal is generally uneomperitive because oi'
<br />unfavorable geology, less efticicnt prorlucGvity, end high rail rates. Quoting
<br />TV A's Fuels depllrDnenl, the audit says. "Although Tennessee goal operators
<br />hold an edge via Noddtc Southern deliveries [o Kingston, they have o

<br />Quality of service, the audit found, was nut a factor in awarding coal
<br />contracts. "Nooll'crs I'totn'1'cnncsslxOroducers were rejated duewprevious
