Western Area Power Administration
Salt Lake City Area Integrated
Projects-Rate Order No. WAPA–117
Western Area Power
Administration, DOE.
ACTION: Notice of proposed power rates.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Western Area Power
Administration (Western) is proposing
adjustments to the Salt Lake City Area
Integrated Projects (SLCA/IP) firm
power rates. The SLCA/IP consists of
the Colorado River Storage Project
(CRSP), Collbran, and Rio Grande
projects, which were integrated for
marketing and ratemaking purposes on
October 1, 1987, and two participating
projects of the CRSP that have power
facilities, the Dolores and Seedskadee
projects. The current rates, under Rate
Schedule SLIP–F7 expire September 30,
2007, but are not sufficient to meet the
SLCA/IP revenue requirements. The
proposed rates will provide sufficient
revenue to pay all annual costs,
including operation and maintenance,
and replacements (OM&R), interest
expenses, and the required repayment of
investment within the allowable period.
Western will prepare a brochure that
provides detailed information on the
rates to all interested parties. The
proposed rates, under Rate Schedule
SLIP–F8, are scheduled to go into effect
on October 1, 2005. Publication of this
Federal Register notice begins the
formal process for the proposed rates.
DATES: The consultation and comment
period begins today and will end April
18, 2005. Western will present a
detailed explanation of the proposed
rates at a public information forum to be
held on February 23, 2005, at 1:30 p.m.
Western will accept oral and written
comments at a public comment forum to
be held on March 30, 2005, at 1:30 p.m.
Western will accept written comments
any time during the consultation and
comment period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposed rates for SLCA/IP firm power
are designed to return an annual amount
of revenue to meet the repayment of
power investment, payment of interest,
purchased power, OM&R expenses, and
the repayment of irrigation assistance
costs as required by law.
The Secretary of Energy approved
Rate Schedule SLIP–F7 for firm power
service on September 12, 2002 (Rate
Order No. WAPA–99, 67 FR 60656,
September 26, 2002), and the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) confirmed and approved
the rate schedules on November 14,
2003, under FERC Docket No. EF02–
5171–000. Rate Schedule SLIP–F7
became effective on October 1, 2002, for
a 5-year period ending September 30,
2007. Under Rate Schedule SLIP–F7, the
energy rate is 9.5 mills per kilowatthour
(mills/kWh), and the capacity rate is
$4.04 per kilowattmonth (kWmonth).
The composite rate is 20.72 mills/kWh.
Firm Power Rate
The proposed rate is expected to
become effective October 1, 2005. The
proposed rate revenue requirements are
based on the FY 2006 work plans for
Western and the Bureau of Reclamation
(Reclamation). These work plans form
the bases for the FY 2006 Congressional
budgets for the two agencies. The most
