Show Secretary of the Interior shall reappraise the requirements for energy of the preference customers in the primary market area and shall make arrangements to fill their requirements by: first, contracting for the sale of available unsold energy; second, recapturing, after reasonable notice, energy remaining under contract to private utilities in the primary market area, and; third, recapturing, after reasonable notice, energy remaining under contract to preference users in the secondary market area. In recognition of the possibility that in order to be attractive to consumers in the secondary market area, contracts for sales of power may need to include provision for continuing a minimum power supply beyond the recapture period, it is recommended that any such minimum, if deemed necessary, should not exceed 7% of project capability and generation during the winter months or 20% during the summer months, the winter maximum to be decreased and the summer maximum to be increased as diversity of preference loads between the primary and secondary market areas may indicate.
