Department of Energy.
Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy’s
(DOE’s) Office of Civilian Radioactive
Waste Management (OCRWM) is making
available its National Transportation
Plan, Revision 0 (DOE/RW–0603,
January 2009) for public review and
comment. The National Transportation
Plan outlines OCRWM’s current strategy
and planning for developing and
implementing the transportation system
that will be required to transport spent
nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level
radioactive waste (HLW) from where the
material is generated or stored to the
proposed repository at Yucca Mountain,
Nevada. OCRWM does not expect actual
shipments to begin before 2020, but has
started the transportation planning
process well in advance to ensure the
concerns and input of State, Tribal and
local officials, as well as other involved
and interested parties, are taken into
account. OCRWM’s National
Transportation Plan will be updated as
appropriate to accommodate changes to
the waste management system, reflect
progress in the development and
implementation of the transportation
system, and incorporate stakeholder and
public comments. OCRWM also
anticipates that detailed implementation
plans will be developed in collaboration
with the stakeholder community.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before April 30,
2009.
ADDRESSES: The document is being
made available on the OCRWM Web site
at https://www.ocrwm.doe.gov. Persons
wishing to receive a print copy via
regular mail should contact: Mr. Frank
Moussa, U.S. Department of Energy,

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 11 / Friday, January 16, 2009 / Notices
The
Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as
amended (NWPA) establishes a process
for the siting, construction and
operation of one or more national
repositories for permanent disposal of
the Nation’s SNF and HLW. Pursuant to
the NWPA, Yucca Mountain has been
designated as the site for the Nation’s
first SNF and HLW repository, and DOE
has submitted an application to the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
for approval to construct the repository.
As part of its obligations under the
NWPA, DOE is also responsible for
developing and implementing a system
to transport SNF and HLW to the Yucca
Mountain repository.
OCRWM’s National Transportation
Plan, Revision 0 describes the elements
of the national transportation system
that OCRWM is developing, the phases
of that development effort, and how
OCRWM will collaborate with
stakeholders in the development and
implementation of that system. This
Plan describes the transportation system
that will be needed when the repository
is operating at full capacity. The
transportation system will be developed
in stages that are consistent with waste
acceptance schedules and the start-up
and subsequent operation of the
repository. The transportation
infrastructure will continue to expand
until full operating capability is
achieved. The development and
operations of the OCRWM
transportation system will build on
many decades of safe and secure
transportation of SNF in the United
States and abroad.
This Plan will be updated as
appropriate to reflect progress in the
development and implementation of the
transportation system, accommodate
changes to the waste management
system, and incorporate stakeholder and
public comments. OCRWM also
anticipates that detailed implementation
plans will be developed in the future in
collaboration with the stakeholder
community.

Southwestern Power Administration
Integrated System Rate Schedules
AGENCY: Southwestern Power
Administration, DOE.
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–61,
which provides the following Integrated
System Rate Schedules:
Rate Schedule P–06A, Wholesale
Rates for Hydro Peaking Power.
Rate Schedule NFTS–06A, Wholesale
Rates for Non-Federal Transmission
Service.
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.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 2008
Power Repayment Studies indicated
that rates prescribed by Rate Schedules
P–06, Wholesale Rates for Hydro
Peaking Power, and NFTS–06,
Wholesale Rates for Non-Federal
Transmission Service, as approved in
Docket No. EF07–4011–000, for the
period October 1, 2006, through
September 30, 2010, are sufficient to
meet repayment criteria and do not
require any adjustment. However, it is
necessary to make technical, nonrevenue impacting changes to the terms
and conditions of both rates. The Real
Power Losses provisions in rate
schedules P–06 and NFTS–06 were
revised to specify that all real power
losses associated with deliveries of nonFederal energy transmitted by
Southwestern on behalf of transmission
customers must be scheduled and
delivered (self-supplied) to
Southwestern by such customers during
the second month after such real power
losses were incurred by Southwestern.
Prior to these new provisions,
transmission customers were provided
the option to either purchase losses
from Southwestern or elect, on an
annual basis, to self-provide their
respective loss energy subject to certain
conditions. These new provisions
incorporate comments received by
Southwestern during customer meetings
held throughout 2008. As a result of
these informal meetings, it was
determined that the revised rate
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
3013
schedule provisions can provide costsavings to Southwestern’s transmission
customers, operational benefits to
Southwestern, and are consistent with
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC) Order No. 888.
Rate Schedule P–06A applies to
wholesale customers purchasing hydro
peaking power and peaking energy from
the Integrated System. This rate
schedule is designed for the sale of
Federal power and energy. Rate
Schedule NFTS–06A applies to
wholesale customers purchasing NonFederal Point-to-Point and Network
Transmission Service. In developing the
revised real power losses rate schedules
provisions, the title of the P–06 and
NFTS–06 rate schedules were changed
to P–06A and NFTS–06A respectively,
to reflect the fact that revisions have
been made. In addition to replacing the
section entitled ‘‘Rates for Real Power
Losses’’ within the rate schedules,
minor corrections and modifications
were incorporated to clarify and update
any sections of the rate schedules
containing references to real power
losses. These changes will have no
impact on the amortization or status of
repayment forecasted in the power
repayment studies and will not require
rate changes. Revenues based on current
rates remain sufficient to meet
repayment criteria.
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 rate schedule
revisions being proposed. The public
was advised by notice published in the
Federal Register (73 FR 63969), October
28, 2008, of proposed rate schedule
changes and of the opportunity to
provide written comments for a period
of 30 days ending November 28, 2008.
Accordingly, several informal meetings
were held with customers and
interested parties to discuss the
proposed changes. No comments were
received during the period of public
participation related to the proposed
rate schedule changes.
Following review of Southwestern’s
proposal within the Department of
Energy, I approved Rate Order No.
SWPA–61 on an interim basis for the
period January 1, 2009, through
September 30, 2010, or until confirmed
and approved on a final basis by the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
