SUMMARY: The Administrator,
Southwestern Power Administration
(Southwestern), has prepared Current
and Revised 2007 Power Repayment
Studies that show the need for an

increases in expected U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers’ generation investment

expenses at the project. The
Administrator has developed a
proposed Sam Rayburn Dam rate
schedule, which is supported by a
power repayment study, to recover the
required revenues. Beginning October 1,
2007, the proposed rate would increase
annual revenues 22.8 percent from
$2,816,064 to $3,458,124.
DATES: The consultation and comment
period will begin on the date of
publication of this Federal Register
notice and will end August 21, 2007. A

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The U.S.
Department of Energy was created by an
Act of the U.S. Congress, in the
Department of Energy Organization Act,
Pub. L. No. 95–91, dated August 4,
1977. Southwestern’s power marketing
activities were transferred from the
Department of Interior to the
Department of Energy, effective October
1, 1977. Guidelines for preparation of
power repayment studies are included
in DOE Order No. RA 6120.2 entitled
Power Marketing Administration
Financial Reporting. Procedures for
Public Participation in Power and
Transmission Rate Adjustments of the
Power Marketing Administrations are
found at Title 10, part 903, Subpart A
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR part 903). Procedures for the
confirmation and approval of rates for
the Federal Power Marketing
Administrations are found at title 18,
part 300, Subpart L of the Code of
Federal Regulations (18 CFR part 300).
Southwestern markets power from 24
multi-purpose reservoir projects, with
hydroelectric power facilities
constructed and operated by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers. These projects
are located in the states of Arkansas,
Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Southwestern’s marketing area includes
these States as well as Kansas and
Louisiana. The costs associated with the
hydropower facilities of 22 of the 24
projects are repaid via revenues

received under the Integrated System
rates, as are Southwestern’s
transmission facilities that consist of
1,380 miles of high-voltage transmission
lines, 24 substations, and 46 microwave
and VHF radio sites. Costs associated
with the Robert D. Willis and Sam
Rayburn Dams, two projects that are
isolated hydraulically, electrically, and
financially from the Integrated System
are repaid by separate rate schedules.
The Sam Rayburn Dam project is
addressed in this notice.
Following Department of Energy
guidelines, the Administrator,
Southwestern, prepared a Current
Power Repayment study using the
existing Sam Rayburn Dam rate. The
Study indicates that Southwestern’s
legal requirement to repay the
investment in the power generating
facility for power and energy marketed
by Southwestern will not be met
without an increase in revenues. The
need for increased revenues is due to an
increase in expected power-related
generation investment expenses. The
Revised Power Repayment Study shows
that an increase in annual revenue of
$642,060 (22.8 percent increase),
beginning October 1, 2007, is needed to
satisfy repayment criteria.
Opportunity is presented for
Southwestern customers and other
interested parties to receive copies of
the Sam Rayburn Dam Power
Repayment Studies and the proposed
rate schedule. Persons desiring a copy of
the Power Repayment Data Package
with the proposed Rate Schedule should
submit a request to the Director,
Resources and Rates, Office of Corporate
Operations, Southwestern Power
Administration, One West Third Street,
Tulsa, OK 74103, (918) 595–6680 or via
e-mail to swparates@swpa.gov.
A Public Information and Comment
Forum (Forum) is scheduled to be held
on June 27, 2007, to explain to
customers and interested parties the
proposed rate and supporting studies.
The proceeding will be transcribed, if
held. A chairman, who will be
responsible for orderly procedure, will
conduct the Forum. Questions
concerning the rate, studies, and
information presented at the Forum will
be answered, to the extent possible, at
the Forum. Questions not answered at
the Forum will be answered in writing.
However, questions involving
voluminous data contained in
Southwestern’s records may best be
answered by consultation and review of
pertinent records at Southwestern’s
offices.
Persons interested in attending the
Forum should indicate in writing by
letter, email, or facsimile transmission

Sam Rayburn Dam Rate are due on or

Assistant Administrator, Southwestern
Power Administration, U.S. Department

proceedings, the Administrator will

Proposal, and Power Repayment Studies
in support of the proposed rate, to the
Deputy Secretary of Energy for
confirmation and approval on an
interim basis, and subsequently to the
