energy which will be returned to the Pacific
Northwest in equal amounts during the same
Pacific Northwest storage drawdown period, (4)

Northwest or Canada with the other area or
with any other area outside the Pacific North-
west, which is not required for the transmission
of Federal energy or the energy described in sec-
tion 837h of this title, shall be made available as
a carrier for transmission of other electric en-
ergy 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 ap-
propriate intervals not less frequently than once
in every five years as agreed to by the parties.
No contract for the transmission of non-Federal

increase, subsequent to the execution of such
contract, in the requirements for transmission
of Federal energy, the energy described in sec-
tion 837h of this title, or other electric energy.
