DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Western Area Power Administration
Central Arizona Project-Rate Order No.
WAPA–124
Western Area Power
Administration, DOE.
ACTION: Notice of proposed transmission
rates.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Western Area Power
Administration (Western) is proposing
revised rates for the Central Arizona
Project (CAP) firm point-to-point
transmission service, nonfirm point-topoint transmission service, and Network
Integration Transmission Service (NITS)
on the CAP 115 kilovolt (kV) and 230kV transmission lines. Current rates,
under Rate Schedules CAP–FT1, CAP–
NFT1 and CAP–NITS1, extend through
December 31, 2005. Proposed rates will
provide sufficient revenue to pay all
annual costs, including interest
expense, and repay required investment
within the allowable period. Western
will prepare a brochure that provides
detailed information on the rates to all
interested parties. Proposed rates, under
Rate Schedules CAP–FT2, CAP–NFT2,
and CAP–NITS2, are scheduled to go
into effect on January 1, 2006, and will
remain in effect through December 31,
2010. 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
September 29, 2005. Western will
present a detailed explanation of the
proposed rates at a public information
forum. The public information forum is:
July 22, 2005, 10–12 p.m. MST,
Phoenix, AZ.
Western will accept oral and written
comments at a public comment forum.
The public comment forum will be held
on the following date: August 22, 2005,
1 p.m. MST, Phoenix, AZ.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to
Mr. J. Tyler Carlson, Regional Manager,
Desert Southwest Customer Service
Region, Western Area Power
Administration, P.O. Box 6457,
Phoenix, AZ 85005–6457, e-mail
carlson@wapa.gov. Western will post
official information about the rate
process on its Web site at https://
www.wapa.gov/dsw/pwrmkt/CAPTRP/
CAPTRP.htm. Western will post official
comments received via letter and e-mail
to its Web site after the close of the
comment period. Western must receive
written comments by the end of the
consultation and comment period to
ensure they are considered in Western’s
decision process. The public
information forum and public comment
forum will be held at: Western’s Desert
Southwest Region (DSWR) office, 615
South 43rd Avenue, Phoenix, AZ.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Jack Murray, Rates Team Lead, Desert
Southwest Customer Service Region,
Western Area Power Administration,
P.O. Box 6457, Phoenix, AZ 85005–
6457, telephone (602) 605–2442, e-mail
jmurray@wapa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed
rates for the CAP 115-kV and 230-kV
transmission lines are designed to
recover an annual revenue requirement
that includes investment repayment,
interest, operation and maintenance
expense, and other expenses.
The Deputy Secretary of Energy
approved Rate Schedules CAP–FT1,
CAP–NFT1, and CAP–NITS1 for
transmission service effective January 1,
2001 (Rate Order No. WAPA–88, 65 FR
77368, December 11, 2000), and the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) confirmed and approved
the rate schedules on July 31, 2001,
under FERC Docket No. EF01–5111–000
(96 FERC 62,094). Approval for Rate
Schedules CAP–FT1, CAP–NFT1, and
CAP–NITS1 covered 5 years beginning
on January 1, 2001, ending on December
31, 2005.
Proposed rates for point-to-point
transmission service and NITS on the
CAP 115BkV and 230-kV transmission
lines are based on a revenue
requirement that recovers the CAP
115BkV and 230-kV transmission lines
costs for facilities associated with
providing transmission service and the
non-facilities costs allocated to
transmission service. Proposed rates for
point-to-point transmission service on
the CAP 115-kV/230-kV transmission
system are determined by combining the
average annual amortization costs with
the average annual operations and
maintenance costs, and dividing them
by the average annual contract rate of
delivery for the cost evaluation period,
fiscal years FY 2006–FY 2010.
