Post-2009 Resource Pool—Loveland
Area Projects—Final Power Allocation
AGENCY: Western Area Power
Administration, DOE.
ACTION: Notice of Final Power
Allocation.
SUMMARY: Western Area Power
Administration (Western), a Federal
power marketing agency of the
Department of Energy, announces its
Post-2009 Resource Pool Final Power
Allocation developed under the
requirements of Subpart C—Power
Marketing Initiative of the Energy
Planning and Management Program
(Program) Final Rule, 10 CFR part 905.
Final allocations are published to
show Western’s decisions prior to
beginning the contractual phase of the
process. Firm electric service contracts
negotiated between Western and
allottees will permit delivery of power
from the October 2009 billing period,

22JYN1

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 139 / Wednesday, July 22, 2009 / Notices
through the September 2024 billing
period.
DATES: The Post-2009 Resource Pool
Final Power Allocation will become
effective August 21, 2009, and will
remain in effect until September 30,
2024.
ADDRESSES: Information about the Post2009 Resource Pool Allocation,
including comments, letters, and other
supporting documents, is available for
public inspection and copying at the
Rocky Mountain Customer Service
Region office, Western Area Power
Administration, 5555 East Crossroads
Boulevard, Loveland, CO 80538–8986.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Western
published the Post-2009 Resource
Pool—Loveland Area Projects—
Allocation Procedures and Call for
Applications (Procedures) on October
22, 2008 (73 FR 62981), to implement
Subpart C—Power Marketing Initiative
of the Program’s Final Rule, 10 CFR part
905, published on October 20, 1995, at
60 FR 54151, as revised on March 30,
2000, at 65 FR 16795. The Program,
developed in part to implement section
114 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992
(Pub. L. 102–486), became effective on
November 20, 1995. The Program
establishes project-specific power
resource pools and provides for the
allocation of power from these pools to
new preference customers. The
allocation procedures, in conjunction
with the General Power Marketing and
Allocation Criteria (Criteria) (51 FR
4012, January 31, 1986), establish the
framework for allocating power from the
Loveland Area Projects (LAP) resource
pool.
Western published its proposed
allocation and initiated a public
comment period in the Federal Register
(74 FR 13430, March 27, 2009). A public
comment forum on the proposed
allocation was held April 16, 2009.
Public comments were due to Western
by April 27, 2009, at 4 p.m. MDT.
Western received one comment
regarding the proposed allocation.
I. Comment and Response
Comment: One customer commented
that with fewer eligible applicants, an
allottee may get more power than if
there were more eligible applicants for
the resource pool.
Response: Each eligible allottee
receives a proportional share of the
resource pool based on its average
seasonal load; however, each allottee
receiving an allocation from a LAP
resource pool is capped at 5,000
kilowatts (kW) of capacity. The energy
is similarly capped to be consistent with
the capacity allocation. This method
complies with EPAMP and is consistent
with RMR’s previous resource pool
allocation process.
II. Amount of Pool Resources
Western will allocate up to 1 percent
(1%) of the LAP long-term hydroelectric
resource available as of October 1, 2009.
Approximately 6.9 megawatts (MW) of
capacity and 11.3 gigawatt-hours (GWh)
of energy will be available for the
summer season. Winter availability will
be approximately 6.1 MW of capacity
and 9.1 GWh of energy. This resource
pool is created by reducing existing
customers’ allocations by up to 1%.
III. Final Power Allocation
Western received four applications for
the Post-2009 LAP resource pool. All
applicants were eligible and four
allocations were proposed. Since the
proposed allocations were published,
one entity with a proposed allocation,
the University of Wyoming, was unable
to obtain delivery of its allocation and
withdrew its application. As provided
in the Procedures, the total resource was
redistributed to the remaining allottees.
Through this redistribution, the City of
Russell’s summer capacity exceeded the
5,000 kW maximum by 570 kW. The
570 kW and associated summer energy
of 932,451 kWh is being returned to the
existing customers. The final power
allocations are made in accordance with
the Procedures and are shown in the
table below.

The final power allocations shown in
the table above are based on the LAP
marketable resource currently available.
If the LAP marketable resource is
adjusted in the future, all allocations
may be adjusted accordingly. Long-term
firm energy with associated capacity
made available for marketing because an
allocation(s) has been reduced or
withdrawn may be administratively
reallocated by Western’s Administrator
without further public process (Criteria
Section V.C.3.).
Regulations (10 CFR part 1021), Western
has determined that this action is
categorically excluded from preparing
an environmental assessment or an
environmental impact statement.
