Proposed Rate Adjustment, Public Forum, and Opportunities for Public Review and Comment for Georgia-Alabama-South Carolina System of Projects
On March 17, 2010, Southeastern Power Administration (Southeastern) published notice of proposed rate for the sale of power from the Georgia-Alabama-South Carolina System of Projects (75 FR 12740). The notice established the date and time of the Public
Revision to Electric Reliability Organization Definition of Bulk Electric System
The Commission proposes to direct the Electric Reliability Organization (ERO) to revise its definition of the term ``bulk electric system'' to include all electric transmission facilities with a rating of 100 kV or above. The Commission proposes that a Regional Entity must seek ERO and Commission approval before exempting any facility rated at 100 kV or above from compliance with mandatory Reliability Standards. The Commission believes that a 100 kV threshold for identifying bulk electric system facilities will protect the reliability of the bulk electric system. The proposal would also provide consistency across the nation's reliability regions regarding the identification of bulk electric system facilities.
Version One Regional Reliability Standard for Resource and Demand Balancing
Pursuant to section 215 of the Federal Power Act, the Commission proposes to remand a revised regional Reliability Standard developed by the Western Electricity Coordinating Council and approved by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, which the Commission has certified as the Electric Reliability Organization responsible for developing and enforcing mandatory Reliability Standards. The revised regional Reliability Standard, designated by WECC as BAL-002-WECC-1, would set revised Contingency Reserve requirements meant to maintain scheduled frequency and avoid loss of firm load following transmission or generation contingencies.
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request
The EIA is soliciting comments on a proposed three-year extension and revision to Form EIA-1605, ``Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases.''.
Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes major revisions to its test procedures for fluorescent lamp ballasts established under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. The proposed test method would eliminate the use of photometric measurements in favor of purely electrical measurements with the goal of reducing measurement variation. DOE proposes a set of transfer functions to convert the measured ballast electrical efficiency to a ballast efficacy factor value. These revisions, however, do not concern the measurement of energy consumption of ballasts in the standby and off modes, which DOE
Energy Conservation Standards for Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts: Public Meeting and Availability of the Preliminary Technical Support Document
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will hold a public meeting to discuss and receive comments on: the product classes that DOE plans to analyze for purposes of establishing energy conservation standards for fluorescent lamp ballasts; the analytical framework, models, and tools that DOE is using to evaluate standards for these products; the results of preliminary analyses DOE performed for these products; and potential energy conservation standard levels derived from these analyses that DOE could consider for these products. DOE encourages written comments on these subjects. To inform interested parties and facilitate this process, DOE has prepared an agenda, a preliminary technical support document (TSD), and briefing materials, which are available at https://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliance standards/residential/fluorescentlampballasts.html.
