Show 313 number of laws provide for multiple uses and particularly for development of power. So also as to reclamation projects. Throughout the country, the Federal Power Commission makes power-market surveys. Such surveys are also made by other agencies for particular regions. Authorizations for marketing of federal power are confined almost entirely to wholesaling. Surplus power generated at Army reservoir projects must be so marketed by the Secretary of the Interior as to encourage widespread use at lowest pos- sible rates consistent with sound business principles. He also controls marketing of power generated at reclamation projects. Here, power may aid in repaying irrigation costs. In market- ing of all federal power, preference is generally accorded to pub- lic bodies and cooperatives. Federal transmission lines are authorized by statutes with varying limitations. In addition to the foregoing, Congress has separately pro- vided for multiple-purpose projects and for the generation and marketing of power at particular localities and in prescribed regions. Examples are the Boulder Canyon and Fort Peck Projects. The Bonneville Power Administration is also an example of special treatment of the role of power in multiple- purpose projects, dealing with a series of large dams on one river system, the Columbia. But the governing statutory pro- visions are varied from project to project within that river system. In the case of TVA, coordinated multiple uses of water under comprehensive river-basin development is largely controlled by a single government corporation under uniform provisions. The duties of two international commissions concern multi- ple uses of different international waters, including the develop- ment of power. |
