AGENCY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:41 Jul 14, 2006 Jkt 208001 ACTION: Notice of Proposed Allocation. 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 Proposed Allocation of Power (Resource Pool Proposed Power Allocation), developed under the requirements of the Energy Planning and Management Program (EPAMP). EPAMP provides for establishing project-specific resource pools and power allocations from these pools to new preference customers. Western’s call for applications was published in the October 1, 2004, Federal Register. Applications received by January 30, 2005, were considered for the Resource Pool Proposed Power Allocation. Western will prepare and publish the Final Allocation of Power in the Federal Register after all public comments have been considered. DATES: The comment period on the Resource Pool Proposed Power Allocation will begin today and end September 15, 2006. Western must receive all comments by the end of the comment period. Western will hold public information and public comment forums on the Resource Pool Proposed Power Allocation. The public information forum dates and times are: 1. August 29, 2006, 1 p.m. MST, Phoenix, AZ. 2. August 31, 2006, 1 p.m. PDT, Ontario, CA. The public comment forum dates and times are: 1. September 12, 2006, 1 p.m. MST, Phoenix, AZ. 2.

Foreign nationals should contact Western at least 45 days in advance of the meeting to obtain the necessary form to be admitted to Western’s offices. Mr. Brian Young, Remarketing Program Manager, Desert Southwest Regional Office, Western Area Power Administration, P.O. Box 6457, Phoenix, AZ 85005–6457, (602) 605– 2594, e-mail post2008pdp@wapa.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Western published a notice of Final Allocation Procedures in the December 16, 2005 Federal Register (70 FR 74805), 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. EPAMP calls for planning and efficient electric energy use by Western’s longterm firm power customers and provides 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 eligible preference customers. Existing resource commitments for the P–DP expire on September 30, 2008. Western published its decision to apply the EPAMP PMI 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. The resource pool includes 0.869 MW of summer season withdrawable capacity and 0.619 MW of winter season withdrawable capacity. The associated energy will be a maximum of 3,441 kilowatthours per kilowatt (kWh/kW) in the summer season and 1,703 kWh/kW in the winter season, based on current marketing plan criteria. The Resource Pool Proposed Power Allocation was determined from the applications received during the call for applications (69 FR 58900) under the guidelines of the Final Allocation Procedures, the current P–DP Marketing Plan (49 FR 50582, 52 FR 7014, and 52 FR 28333), and EPAMP.
