Show Vl-42 UPDATING THE HOOVER DAM DOCUMENTS COLORADO RIVER STORAGE PROJECT 37 Southern California Edison Co.: States that the provisions rout (lined in article 5 of the filling criteria and in the proposed additional regulation No. 1, relative to reimbursement of the Upper Colorado River Basin fund from charges for electrical energy to be made at the Hoover powerplant subsequent to June 1, 19S7, would not appear to be authorized by existing law, but rather to be in conflict therewith. Comments have not been received from the cities of Burbank, Glemlale, and Pasadena, the remaining three Hoover power contractors. Inasmuch as the comments received, copies of which are attached, either do not object to issuance of additional regulation No. 1, or, in my opinion, do not offer substantive reasons opposing its issuance, I recommend that you now formally promulgate additional regulation No. 1 and that it and the filling criteria approved by you on April 2 be published in the Federal Register.

Your comments on this additional regulation are requested within 30 days. Enclosed also is a copy of "General Principles To Govern, and Operating Criteria for Glen Canyon Reservoir (Lake Powell) and Lake Mead During the Lake Powell Filling Period," approved by the Secretary on April 2, 1962, of which additional regulation No. 1, upon issuance, will be made a part. As a third item there is enclosed a set of the tabular forms together with explanatory material, which will be used to compute deficiencies in firm power generation at Hoover Dam during the filling period as provided in principle 5 of the "General Principles."
