In Bonneville Power Administration\'s Proposed Safety-Net Cost Recovery
Adjustment Clause (SN CRAC) proceeding, all litigants shall adhere to
the same document designation code used in previous rate proceedings.
All exhibits, testimony, briefs, etc., must have a document designation
code. The number and character designation facilitates preparation of
the final record which is submitted to the Administrator and then to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

A.  DOCUMENT DESIGNATION SYSTEM

Every document that will become part of the SN-03 rate adjustment
proceeding must be marked with a document designation code. The code
consists of three component parts: (1) the BPA rate proceeding code, (2)
the subject matter of the document, and (3) the party code. For example:

SN-03-E-PP-01

\(1\) (2) (3)

\(1\) The first part, SN-03 (in the sample above), indicates that the
document is part of the record of Bonneville Power Administration\'s
Proposed Safety-Net Cost Recovery Adjustment Clause (SN-CRAC) Adjustment
to 2002 Wholesale Power Rates proceeding.

\(2\) The second part, E (in the sample above), identifies the subject
matter of the document. For instance, E represents all documents
categorized as exhibits, studies, testimony, etc. For a complete list of
document types see attached Document Designation Codes (page 4).

\(3\) The third part, PP-01 (in the sample above), identifies the party
and the order of each document submitted. For instance, PP represents
the Public Power Council, and 01 designates the first exhibit submitted
by that party. All party designations are listed on the attached
Party Designation Codes (page 5).

In some cases, parties will wish to submit exhibits jointly. In such
instances, the third part of the document designation number (3) should
list all of the parties submitting the exhibit in alphabetical order,
separated by slashes. For example:

SN-03-E-PN/PL/PP-01

In this example, Pacific Northwest Generating Cooperative, PacifiCorp,
the Public Power Council are all sponsors of the exhibit.

In sum, the code identifies the proceeding, the subject matter, the
party, and the numerical order of the document submitted. This code is
absolutely necessary in organizing the diverse material submitted for
the official record.

B.  PRE-MARKING OF EXHIBITS AND BRIEFS

The Hearing Clerks require that all exhibits and briefs be pre-marked
before submission. The code should be marked in the lower right hand
corner of each page of the document, including certificates of service.
Exhibit numbers should be assigned to each piece of testimony and
numbered sequentially (e.g., SN-03-E-PP-01, SN-03-E-PP-02, etc.).

An erratum to the SN-03 Study Documentation would be designated
SN-03-E-BPA-02(E1). A second erratum, submitted as a separate item,
would be designated SN-03-E-BPA-02(E2).

The standard code enables the Hearing Clerks to catalog each exhibit
with its documentation, addenda, errata, etc. Parties that wish to
reserve an exhibit designation number are requested to contact the
Hearing Clerks before filing.

Please note that motions, answers, memoranda and other procedural
documents submitted need not contain a party designation code. Each
filing should be designated:

SN-03-M-  .

The Hearing Clerks chronologically assign a number to the document as it
is submitted to the Hearing Officer. For instance, this memo is marked
SN-03-O-02. It represents the second document classified as an order in
the 2002 rate adjustment proceeding. If you wish the Hearing Clerks to
pre-assign a number to your document, simply call beforehand. Otherwise
the Hearing Clerks will fill in the appropriate number.

C.  SERVICE OF EXHIBITS ON LITIGANTS

Each party is assigned a two letter party designation code (see page 5).
The service list will identify addressees by the designation codes.
Address labels should also reflect this designation. Service will be
deemed accomplished at the time of successful upload.

D. FINAL NOTE

> []{.mark}

Because of the extensive and complex nature of these proceedings, the
Hearing Clerks request that all parties carefully follow these
guidelines. All documents must be delivered by the method and in the
manner delineated above. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. The
Hearing Clerks can be reached at 503-230-7382.
