The electric energy which EES#1 proposes to export to Canada would be surplus energy purchased from electric utilities, Federal power marketing agencies, and other entities within the United States. EES#1 will arrange for the delivery of exports to Canada over the international transmission facilities owned by Bangor Hydro-Electric Company, Basin Electric Power Cooperative, Bonneville Power Administration, Eastern Maine Electric Cooperative, International Transmission Co., Joint Owners of the Highgate Project, Long Sault, Inc., Maine Electric Power Company, Maine Public Service Company, Minnesota Power, Inc., Minnkota Power Cooperative, Inc., New York Power Authority, Niagara Mohawk Power Corp., Northern States Power Company, Vermont Electric Power Company, and Vermont Electric Transmission Co.

ACTION: Notice of FY 2010–2011 Proposed Power and Transmission Rate Adjustments. SUMMARY: BPA is holding a consolidated rate proceeding, BPA–10, that will have separate sub-dockets for power and transmission rates for FY 2010–2011. The rate proceeding will have one hearing officer, one schedule, one record, and one Record of Decision (ROD). The power sub-docket is designated WP–10, and the transmission sub-docket, which includes transmission and ancillary services rates, is designated TR–10. The Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (Northwest Power Act) provides that BPA must establish and periodically review and revise its rates so that they are adequate to recover, in accordance with sound business principles, the costs associated with the acquisition, conservation, and transmission of electric power, including amortization of the Federal investment in the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) and BPA’s other costs and expenses. The Northwest Power Act also requires that BPA’s rates be established based on the record of a formal hearing. In addition, for transmission rates only, the Federal Columbia River Transmission System Act requires that transmission costs be equitably allocated between Federal and non-Federal power using the system. By this notice, BPA announces the commencement of a power and transmission rate adjustment proceeding for proposed power, transmission, and ancillary services rates that will be effective on October 1, 2009. DATES: Anyone wishing to become a party to the proceeding must provide written notice, via U.S. Mail or electronic mail, which is received by BPA no later than 4:30 p.m. on February 17, 2009. Parties need to submit only one notice to request intervention as a party in both the WP–10 and the TR–10 sub-dockets. The rate adjustment proceeding begins with a prehearing conference at 1:30 pm on February 18, 2009, in Portland, Oregon.
