-STATUTE-


      Any capacity in Federal transmission lines connecting, either by


    themselves or with non-Federal lines, a generating plant in the


    Pacific Northwest or Canada with the other area or with any other


    area outside the Pacific Northwest, which is not required for the


    transmission of Federal energy or the energy described in section


    837h of this title, shall be made available as a carrier for


    transmission of other electric energy between such areas.  The


    transmission of other electric energy shall be at equitable rates


    determined by the Secretary, but such rates shall be subject to


    equitable adjustment at appropriate intervals not less frequently


    than once in every five years as agreed to by the parties.  No


    contract for the transmission of non-Federal energy on a firm basis


    shall be affected by any increase, subsequent to the execution of


    such contract, in the requirements for transmission of Federal


    energy, the energy described in section 837h of this title, or


    other electric energy.
