Contributions for Frequency Bias
For those entities operating automated
generation control in a tie-line bias
mode, subject to the requirements for
Frequency Responsive Reserves (FRR),
the WACM Balancing Authority intends
to offset the calculated Regulation
requirement by an amount equal to the
weighted average hourly frequency
multiplied by an entity’s frequency
response bias factor. This will eliminate
any Regulation costs incurred due to the
provision of frequency support to the
interconnection.
For a requesting entity to qualify for
this accommodation, it must provide the
WACM Balancing Authority with data
required for physical confirmation of
FRR participation. Minimum data that
must be provided in real time includes
the scan-by-scan information regarding
individual unit capability, real MW
output, and reactive megavolt-ampere
output. Engineering data commonly
used for system modeling must also be
provided. Other data may be required
and will be requested in writing. No
credit(s) will be allowed for frequency
bias contributions until the requested
real-time and engineering data is
provided to the WACM Balancing
Authority.
Customer Accommodation
Western will work with entities
unwilling to take Regulation service
from the WACM Balancing Authority,
self-provide it, or provide it from a third
party, to meter their resources and/or
loads out of the Balancing Authority.
Until such time as that meter
reconfiguration is accomplished, the
WACM Balancing Authority will charge
the entity for Regulation service under
the rate then in effect.
Legal Authority
Western has determined that the
proposed rate constitutes a minor rate
adjustment as defined by 10 CFR part
903, and has established a 90-day
comment period. During that time,
Western will hold both a public
information forum and a public
comment forum. After review of public
comments, and possible amendments or
adjustments, Western will recommend
that the Deputy Secretary of Energy
approve the proposed rate on an interim
basis.
Western is establishing this proposed
rate adjustment for Regulation and
Frequency Response Service under the
Department of Energy Organization Act
(42 U.S.C. 7152); the Reclamation Act of
1902 (ch 1093, 32 Stat. 388), as
amended and supplemented by
subsequent enactments, particularly
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
section 9(c) of the Reclamation Project
Act of 1939 (43 U.S.C. 485h(c)) and
section 5 of the Flood Control Act of
1944 (16 U.S.C. 825s); and other acts
specifically applicable to the projects
involved.
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.
Existing DOE procedures for public
participation in power rate adjustments
(10 CFR part 903) were published on
September 18, 1985 (50 FR 37835).
Determination Under Executive Order
12866
Western has an exemption from
centralized regulatory review under
Executive Order 12866; accordingly, no
clearance of this notice by the Office of
Management and Budget is required.
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act
Western has determined that this rule
is exempt from congressional
notification requirements under 5 U.S.C.
801 because the action is a rulemaking
of particular applicability relating to
rates or services and involves matters of
procedure.
Dated: April 28, 2005.
Michael S. Hacskaylo,
Administrator.

Availability of Information
All brochures, studies, comments,
letters, memoranda, e-mail, or other
documents made or kept by Western for
developing the proposed rate will be
made available for inspection and
copying at the Rocky Mountain
Customer Service Region office located
at 5555 East Crossroads Boulevard,
Loveland, CO 80538.

Regulatory Procedure Requirements
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980
(5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.) requires Federal
agencies to perform a regulatory
flexibility analysis if a final rule is likely
to have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
and there is a legal requirement to issue
a general notice of proposed
rulemaking. This action does not require
a regulatory flexibility analysis since it
is a rulemaking of particular
applicability involving rates or services
applicable to public property.
Environmental Compliance
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.);
Council on Environmental Quality
Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508);
and DOE NEPA Regulations (10 CFR
part 1021), Western has determined this
action is categorically excluded from
preparing an environmental assessment
or an environmental impact statement.
