Federal Hydropower Federal hydropower usually a source of revenue for other things. “Beneficiary Pays” rule should apply Capacity has been lost due to various federal laws and regulations

Non-federal Hydropower Subject to Federal Power Act (licensing and relicensing) Allows Federal Natural Resources Agencies to impose “Mandatory Conditions” 12,600 additional MW at existing non- powered dams Non-federal hydropower (conduits, hydropower) can be built at federal projects. But barriers and outdated regulatory regimes remain.

Electricity Rights of Way on Federal Lands Almost 90,000 linear miles of electricity rights of way on Forest Service and BLM lands. Issue is inconsistent federal management of rights-of-way. Liability also an issue Bipartisan bill passed the House last year; Senate interest.

Debate Topics on Infrastructure What is the Federal nexus? If there is a federal cost, how is it paid for? Does it apply to the “beneficiaries pay” rule? How do we incentivize non-federal parties on infrastructure? What is the Future of the BOR and the PMAs?

The PMAs PMAs provide wholesale “at-cost” power to 1,200 public power entities in 33 states. Successive Administrations have proposed elimination/reforms for PMAs. The “Chu Memo” in the last Administration was the latest effort
