repayment period for the Central
Arizona Project, the Secretary of Energy
shall provide for surplus revenues to the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By
Delegation Order No. 00–037.00
effective December 6, 2001, the
Secretary of Energy delegated: (1) The
authority to develop power and
transmission rates to Western’s
Administrator; (2) the authority to
confirm, approve, and place such rates
into effect on an interim basis to the
Deputy Secretary of Energy; and (3) the
authority to confirm, approve, and place

or to disapprove such rates to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
The existing P–DP firm rate
methodology contained within Rate
Order No. WAPA–75 was approved for
5 years. Subsequent rate orders
extended the methodology until
September 30, 2006. The revision of
Rate Schedule PD-F6 for wholesale firm
power service will not modify the
approved rate methodology.
Western is required by statute to begin
imposing the surcharge on June 1, 2005.

The Hoover Power Plant Act of 1984,
Title I, section 102(c) states:
* * * [F]or the Parker Davis project
commencing June 1, 2005, and until the end
of the repayment period for the Central
Arizona project described in section 301(a) of
this Act, the Secretary of Energy shall
provide for surplus revenues by including
the equivalent of 41⁄2 mills per kilowatthour
in the rates charged to purchasers in Arizona
for application to the purposes specified in
subsection (f) of this section and by including
the equivalent of 21⁄2 mills per kilowatthour
in the rates charged to purchasers in
California and Nevada for application to the
purposes of subsection (g) of this section as
amended and supplemented: Provided
further, that after the repayment period for
said Central Arizona project, the equivalent
of 21⁄2 mills per kilowatthour shall be
included by the Secretary of Energy in the
rates charged to purchasers in Arizona,
California, and Nevada to provide revenues
for application to the purposes of said
subsection (g) of this section.
The rate schedule must be revised to
include reference to the surcharge,
which will be included on the
customers’ firm electric service bills for
the June 2005 service month. Since the
decision to revise Rate Schedule PD–F6
stems from a legislative requirement,
Western has no discretion as to the
amount or timing of the surcharge.
Therefore, Western is not required to
carry out a public process. Given the
lack of discretion, this surcharge is
being implemented under the Hoover
Power Plant Act of 1984 and not
Delegation Order No. 00–037.00.
Following review of Western’s
proposal within the DOE, I hereby
approve Rate Order No. WAPA–123,
which revises Rate Schedule PD–F6 for
P–DP firm power to include the Lower
Colorado River Development Surcharge
beginning June 1, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By Delegation Order No. 00-037.00 effective
December 6, 2001, the Secretary of Energy delegated: (1) The authority
to develop power and transmission rates to Western's Administrator; (2)
the authority to confirm, approve, and place such rates into effect on
an interim basis to the Deputy Secretary of Energy; and (3) the
authority to confirm, approve, and place into effect on a final basis,
to remand, or to disapprove such rates to the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission.
The existing P-DP firm rate methodology contained within Rate Order
No. WAPA-75 was approved for 5 years. Subsequent rate orders extended
the methodology until September 30, 2006. The revision of Rate Schedule
PD-F6 for wholesale firm power service will not modify the approved
rate methodology.
Western is required by statute to begin imposing the surcharge on
June 1, 2005. The Hoover Power Plant Act of 1984, Title I, section
102(c) states:
* * * [F]or the Parker Davis project commencing June 1, 2005, and
until the end of the repayment period for the Central Arizona
project described in section 301(a) of this Act, the Secretary of
Energy shall provide for surplus revenues by including the
equivalent of 4\1/2\ mills per kilowatthour in the rates charged to
purchasers in Arizona for application to the purposes specified in
subsection (f) of this section and by including the equivalent of
2\1/2\ mills per kilowatthour in the rates charged to purchasers in
California and Nevada for application to the purposes of subsection
(g) of this section as amended and supplemented: Provided further,
that after the repayment period for said Central Arizona project,
the equivalent of 2\1/2\ mills per kilowatthour shall be included by
the Secretary of Energy in the rates charged to purchasers in
Arizona, California, and Nevada to provide revenues for application
to the purposes of said subsection (g) of this section.
The rate schedule must be revised to include reference to the
surcharge, which will be included on the customers' firm electric
service bills for the June 2005 service month. Since the decision to
revise Rate Schedule PD-F6 stems from a legislative requirement,
Western has no discretion as to the amount or timing of the surcharge.
Therefore, Western is not required to carry out a public process. Given
the lack of discretion, this surcharge is being implemented under the
Hoover Power Plant Act of 1984 and not Delegation Order No. 00-037.00.
Following review of Western's proposal within the DOE, I hereby
approve Rate Order No. WAPA-123, which revises Rate Schedule PD-F6 for
P-DP firm power to include the Lower Colorado River Development
Surcharge beginning June 1, 2005.
