ACTION: Notice of Rate Order. SUMMARY: Pursuant to Delegation Order Nos. 00–037.00, effective December 6, 2001, and 00–001.00C, effective January 31, 2007, the Deputy Secretary has approved and placed into effect on an interim basis Rate Order No. SWPA–60, which increases the power rate for the Sam Rayburn Dam (Rayburn) pursuant to the following Sam Rayburn Dam Rate Schedule: Rate Schedule SRD–08, Wholesale Rates for Hydropower and Energy Sold to Sam Rayburn Dam Electric Cooperative, Inc., (Contract No. DE–PM75–92SW00215). DATES: The effective period for the rate schedule specified in Rate Order No. SWPA–60 is January 1, 2009, through September 30, 2012. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. James K. McDonald, Assistant Administrator, Office of Corporate Operations, Southwestern Power Administration, Department of Energy, One West Third Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103, (918) 595–6690, jim.mcdonald@swpa.gov. The existing hydroelectric power rate for Rayburn is $3,456,696 per year. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved this rate on a final basis on February 29, 2008, for the period October 1, 2007, through September 30, 2011, under Docket No. EF07–4021–000 (122 FERC ¶ 62,196). However, the current rate is inadequate to meet cost recovery criteria for the period January 1, 2009 through September 30, 2012. The 2008 Rayburn Power Repayment Studies indicate the need for an increase in the annual rate by $493,176 or 14.3 percent beginning January 1, 2009. The Administrator, Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern) has followed Title 10, Part 903 Subpart A, of the Code of Federal Regulations, ‘‘Procedures for Public Participation in Power and Transmission Rate Adjustments and Extensions’’ in connection with the proposed rate schedule. On November 3, 2008, Southwestern published notice in the Federal Register (73 FR 65306) of a 30day comment period, together with a Public Information and Comment Forum, to provide an opportunity for customers and other interested members SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: [Docket No. EL09–19–000] VerDate Aug<31>2005 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Jkt 217001 PO 00000 Frm 00089 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 79877 of the public to review and comment on a proposed rate increase for Rayburn. The public forum was canceled when no one expressed an intention to participate. Written comments were accepted through December 3, 2008. One comment was received from Gillis & Angley, LLP, Counsellors at Law, on behalf of Sam Rayburn Municipal Power Authority, the Vinton Public Power Authority, Sam Rayburn G&T and the Sam Rayburn Dam Electric Cooperative, which stated that they had no objection to the proposed rate adjustment. Information regarding this rate proposal, including studies and other supporting material, is available for public review and comment in the offices of Southwestern Power Administration, One West Third Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103. Following review of Southwestern’s proposal within the Department of Energy, I approved Rate Order No. SWPA–60, on an interim basis, which increases the existing Rayburn rate to $3,949,872, per year, for the period January 1, 2009, through September 30, 2012. Dated: December 17, 2008. Jeffrey F. Kupfer, Deputy Secretary. United States of America. Department of Energy. Deputy Secretary of Energy. In the Matter of: Southwestern Power Administration; Sam Rayburn Dam Project Rate; Order Confirming, Approving and Placing Increased Power Rate Schedule in Effect on an Interim Basis Rate Order No. SWPA– 60.
