CURTIN, District Judge.
BACKGROUND
This case involves a question of statutory construction: Does the Niagara Redevelop ment Act (“NRA”), 16 U.S.C. § 836(b)(3), prohibit the Power Authority of the State of New York (“PASNY”) from selling Replacement Power from its Niagara hydroelectric project at a rate greater than its cost of producing that power? Plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment that PASNY’s decision to increase its Replacement Power rates beginning on January 1, 1990, is contrary to the NRA. Defendant contends that the NRA does not mandate a cost-based rate for Replacement Power.
