SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Program, (60 FR
54151, October 20, 1995), Western
published the proposed procedures and
call for applications in the Federal
Register on October 15, 2008 (73 FR

published the final procedures in the

Past resource pools under the Program
were established from withdrawals of
power from existing customers. Subject
to the size of the final allocation,
Western does not intend to make a
withdrawal of power from existing
customers for the proposed Post–2010
Resource Pool allocation. Instead of
withdrawal, Western, in accordance
with 10 CFR 905.32(e)(2) of the
Program, intends to use power
previously placed under contract and
subsequently returned to Western
through termination of that contract
(Returned Power) for this proposed
allocation. The amount of Returned
Power is sufficient for the proposed
allocation; therefore, withdrawal from
existing customers may not be required.
Any Returned Power not used to
establish the Post–2010 Resource Pool
for the final allocation will continue to
be used to reduce the need to acquire
firming resources and other uses
recognized under the Program.
Availability of Information
Documents developed or retained by
Western in developing this Post–2010
Resource Pool will be available for
inspection and copying at the Upper
Great Plains Regional Office in Billings,
Montana. Written comments received
on the proposed allocation will be
available for viewing at https://
www.wapa.gov/ugp/Post2010/
default.htm after the close of the
comment period.
Proposed Allocation of Power
Western received four applications
from entities interested in an allocation
of power from the Post–2010 Resource
Pool. Review of the applications
indicated that three of the four
applicants did not qualify under the
Final Post–2010 Resource Pool
Allocation Procedures. The proposed
allocation of power for the new eligible
customer was calculated using the Final
Post–2010 Resource Pool Allocation
Procedures. The proposed summer
allocation is 24.84413 percent of peak
summer load; the proposed winter
allocation is 35.98853 percent of peak
winter load as defined in the Post–1985
Marketing Plan criteria, under the Final
Post–2010 Resource Pool Allocation
Procedures. The proposed allocation of
power for the new eligible customer and
the load upon which this proposed
allocation is based is as follows:
