This Act transferred to and vested in the Secretary of Energy the power marketing functions of the Secretary of the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Reclamation under the Reclamation Act of 1902 (ch. 1093, 32 Stat. 388), as amended and supplemented by subsequent laws, particularly section 9(c) of the Reclamation Project Act of 1939 (43 U.S.C. 485h(c)), and other Acts that specifically apply to the project system 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 the Administrator of the Western Area Power Administration (Western); (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. rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES1 Background This action is to further extend the existing Parker-Davis Project Rate Order No. WAPA–75 that was originally approved for 5 years, beginning November 1, 1997, through September 30, 2002. See FERC Docket No. EF98– 5041–000, 82 FERC Par. 62,164 (March 10, 1998). Rate Order No. WAPA–98, approved by the Secretary of Energy on September 13, 2002 (67 FR 60655, September 26, 2002), extended WAPA–75 through September 30, 2004. Rate Order WAPA– 113, approved by the Deputy Secretary on September 2, 2004 (69 FR 55429, September 14, 2004), extended WAPA– 75 through September 30, 2006. Discussion Western is currently conducting a formal re-marketing process for the Parker-Davis Project, which will increase the firm electric service capacity that will be available October 1, 2008, creating a larger resource pool and making additional capacity and energy available to new contractors. Western seeks this extension to allow adequate time to consider the effect of additional firm electric service capacity on the rates and to consider the input of the public including the additional contractors. Western proposes to extend the current rate schedules to complete this analysis. On the Deputy Secretary of Energy’s approval, Rate Order No. VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:07 Sep 29, 2006 Jkt 211001 WAPA–75, as extended, will be further extended under Rate Order No. WAPA– 131. 9891; e-mail address: npptac.oppt@epa.gov.
