ACTION: Notice of Order Concerning Power, Transmission, and Ancillary Services Rates. ebenthall on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Acting Deputy Secretary of Energy confirmed and approved Rate Order No. WAPA–137 and Rate Schedule SLIP–F9, placing firm power rates for the Salt Lake City Area Integrated Projects (SLCA/IP) of the Western Area Power Administration (Western) into effect on an interim basis. The Acting Deputy Secretary also confirmed Rate Schedules SP–PTP7, SP–NW3, SP–NFT6, SP–SD3, SP–RS3, SP–EI3, SP–FR3, and SP–SSR3, placing firm and non-firm transmission rates and ancillary services rates on the Colorado River Storage Project (CRSP) transmission system into effect on an interim basis. The provisional rates will be in effect until the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) confirms, approves, and places them into effect on a final basis or until they are replaced by other rates. The provisional rates will provide sufficient revenue to pay all annual costs, including interest expense, and repayment of power investment and irrigation aid, within the allowable periods. DATES: Rate Schedules SLIP–F9, SP– PTP7, SP–NW3, SP–NFT6, SP–SD3, SP– RS3, SP–EI3, SP–FR3, and SP–SSR3 will be placed into effect on an interim basis on the first day of the first full billing period beginning on or after October 1, 2008, and will be in effect until FERC confirms, approves, and places the rate schedules in effect on a final basis through September 30, 2013, or until the rate schedules are superseded. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Bradley S. Warren, CRSP Manager, Colorado River Storage Project Management Center, Western Area Power Administration, 150 East Social Hall Avenue, Suite 300, Salt Lake City, UT 84111–1580, (801) 524–5493, e-mail warren@wapa.gov, or Ms. Carol A.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Deputy Secretary of Energy approved Rate Order No. WAPA–117 on August 1, 2005 (70 Fed. Reg. 47823). This Order included existing Rate Schedule SLIP– F8 for SLCA/IP firm power.1 The existing firm power Rate Schedule SLIP–F8 is being superseded by Rate Schedule SLIP–F9. Under Rate Schedule SLIP–F8, the energy rate is 10.43 mills/kilowatthour (mills/kWh), and the capacity rate is $4.43/ kilowattmonth ($/kWmonth). The composite rate is 25.28 mills/kWh. The provisional firm power rate will be implemented over a 2-year period. In the first year, the provisional firm power rate consists of an energy charge of 11.06 mills/kWh and a capacity charge of $4.70/kWmonth. The second step of the rate will be effective October 1, 2009, and will be capped at the energy charge of 12.29 mills/kWh and a capacity charge of $5.22/kWmonth. The provisional rates for SLCA/IP firm power in Rate Schedule SLIP–F9 will result in an overall composite rate of 26.80 mills/kWh on October 1, 2008, and a composite rate capped at 29.68 mills/kWh on October 1, 2009, through September 30, 2013, or until superseded. This second step rate adjustment will result in an overall increase of about 17.4 percent when compared with the existing SLCA/IP firm power composite rate under Rate Schedule SLIP–F8. The firm power rate will continue to include a cost recovery mechanism called the Cost Recovery Charge (CRC). The CRC is necessary to adequately maintain a sufficient cash balance in the Upper Colorado River Basin Fund. The CRC is a charge on Sustainable Hydropower (SHP) energy, as determined by financial conditions. Every May, Western will provide customers with information concerning any anticipated CRC for the upcoming fiscal year (FY). If Western determines a CRC is necessary, firm power customers may choose not to take as much firm energy and, in exchange, Western will waive the CRC charge. In addition to the potential for a CRC being implemented every year, Western will consider assessing the CRC upon a 45day notice to customers, should water 1 FERC confirmed and approved Rate Order No. WAPA–117 on June 13, 2006, in Docket EF05–5171.

Existing Department of Energy procedures for public participation in power rate adjustments (10 CFR part 903) were published on September 18, 1985.
