Sorry I have been neglecting this, my bad. Scout 333 you are on the right track. I'm looking specifically for the name of the agency between 1 Oct and 21 Dec 77.
Well Pess if at first you don't succeed try, try, and try again.
Bureau of Reclamation??
For the next four decades, BOR was responsible for both generating power and selling and transmitting this power. Then, in 1977, Congress created the Department of Energy, and assigned to it certain responsibilities and resources from Interior and other entities in the federal government. Department of Energy Organization Act of 1977 (1977 Act), Pub. L. No. 95-91, Title III, 91 Stat. 578 (Aug. 4, 1977), codified at 42U.S.C. 7152. In the 1977 Act, Congress transferred to Energy the then existing PMAs and "the power marketing functions of the Bureau of Reclamation, including the construction, operation, and maintenance of transmission lines and attendant facilities." Id. at 7152(a)(1)(D). The 1977 Act also authorized Energy to establish additional PMAs if necessary to perform these power marketing duties. Id. at
7152(a)(3). Pursuant to this authority, Energy established WAPA in December 1977. See Western Area Power Administration, Annual Report Fiscal Year 2002 , at 7, available at http://www.wapa.gov/media/pdf/annrep02.pdf (last visited July 19, 2004).
Congress, however, left the Reclamation Fund and the power generating functions of BOR in Interior, and continued to finance the marketing of BOR-generated power from the Reclamation Fund, that is, by appropriation from the Fund to WAPA.
Whew, this is worse than tax law!

Scout, I'm going to declare you the winner. This has bogged down the whole thread. Since you seemed interested enough to research the Energy Act 
there is more info on this from the energy point of view at http://www.wapa.gov/about/historyproj.htm.
The answer I was looking for was no name since legally the marketing function belonged to Energy 1 Oct 77 but Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) wasn't named until 21 Dec 77.
The actual transfer was gradual but today Reclamation generates the power and controls the waterways, Energy (WAPA) transmits it to the grid and sells it.
The board is yours!

It's been a few days and no one has responded, so I'll give you a hint. The Corporation is well known for it's coffee.
