ACTION: Notice of final procedures. AGENCY: December 12, 2005. SUMMARY: The Western Area Power Administration (Western), a Federal power marketing agency of the Department of Energy (DOE), announces the Parker-Davis Project (P–DP) Post2008 Resource Pool Allocation Procedures, developed under the requirements of the Energy Planning and Management Program (EPAMP). EPAMP provides for the establishment of project-specific resource pools and power allocations from these pools to new preference customers. Western, under EPAMP, is finalizing procedures for use in allocating power from the P– DP Post-2008 Resource Pool that will become available October 1, 2008. Western originally proposed allocation procedures in the October 1, 2004, Federal Register. Responses to public comments received on the proposed procedures are included in this notice. In accordance with this notice, Western plans to announce proposed allocations in the Federal Register after April 1, 2006. The P–DP Post-2008 Resource Pool Allocation Procedures will become effective January 17, 2006. ADDRESSES: Information regarding the Post-2008 Resource Pool Allocation Procedures, including comments, letters, and other supporting documents made or kept by Western for the purpose of developing the final procedures, is available for public inspection and copying at the Desert Southwest Regional Office, Western DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 74805 Area Power Administration, located at 615 South 43rd Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85009. Public comments may be viewed at https://www.wapa.gov/dsw/pwrmkt. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Western published a notice of proposed allocation procedures in the October 1, 2004, Federal Register (69 FR 58900), to implement Subpart C—Power Marketing Initiative (PMI) of EPAMP’s Final Rule, 10 CFR part 905 (60 FR 54151). EPAMP, developed in part to implement section 114 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, became effective on November 20, 1995. The goal of EPAMP is to require planning and efficient electric energy use by Western’s long-term firm power customers and to provide a framework for extending Western’s firm power resource commitments. One aspect of EPAMP is to establish project-specific power resource pools when existing resource commitments expire and to allocate power from these pools to new preference customers. Existing resource commitments for the P–DP expire on September 30, 2008. Western published its decision to apply the PMI of EPAMP to the P–DP in the Federal Register on May 5, 2003 (68 FR 23709). This decision created a resource pool of approximately 17 megawatts (MW) of summer season capacity and 13 MW of winter season capacity, based on estimates of current P–DP hydroelectric resource availability, for allocation to eligible preference customers for 20 years beginning October 1, 2008. Western will make allocations to preference customers under the final procedures described in this notice, the current P–DP Marketing Plan (49 FR 50582, 52 FR 7014, and 52 FR 28333), and EPAMP. These final Post-2008 Resource Pool Allocation Procedures for the P–DP address (1) Eligibility criteria, (2) how Western intends to allocate pool resources, and (3) the terms and conditions under which Western will allocate the power pool. Western held public comment forums regarding the proposed procedures between November 30, 2004, and December 2, 2004, to accept oral and written comments on the proposed allocation procedures and call for applications. The formal comment period ended January 30, 2005. Western’s responses to public comments on the proposed allocation procedures are included in this notice. Response to Comments on the Post-2008 Resource Pool Allocation Procedures Comments and Responses Comment: Some comments expressed support for the proposed order of priority for use in making allocations, E:\FR\FM\16DEN1.SGM 16DEN1

Conservation District

December 12, 2005.
    On November 28, 2005, the Commission staff issued an Environmental 
Assessment (EA); prepared for the licensing of the Santa Felicia 
Hydroelectric Project.
