Comment Date: 5 p.m. Eastern Time on October 2, 2009. Jkt 217001 Integrated System Power Rates AGENCY: Southwestern Power Administration, DOE. ACTION: Notice of public review and comment. SUMMARY: The Administrator, Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern), has prepared Current and Revised 2009 Power Repayment Studies which show the need for an increase in annual revenues to meet cost recovery criteria. Such increased revenues are needed primarily to cover increased investments and replacements in hydroelectric generating facilities and increased operation and maintenance expenses. The Administrator has developed proposed Integrated System rates, which are supported by a rate design study, to recover the required revenues. The June 2009 Revised Study indicates that the proposed rates would increase annual system revenues approximately 10.8 percent from $160,255,300 to $177,586,158. DATES: The consultation and comment period will begin on the date of publication of this Federal Register notice and will end November 23, 2009. Upon request, a combined Public Information and Comment Forum (Forum) will be held in Tulsa, Oklahoma at 9 a.m. on October 7, 2009. ADDRESSES: The Forum will be held in Southwestern’s offices, Room 1460, Williams Center Tower I, One West Third Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. James K. McDonald, Assistant Administrator, Office of Corporate PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 48527 Operations, Southwestern Power Administration, U.S. Department of Energy, One West Third Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103, (918) 595–6690, jim.mcdonald@swpa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Originally established by Secretarial Order No. 1865 dated August 31, 1943, Southwestern is an agency within the U.S. Department of Energy created by the Department of Energy Organization Act, Public Law 95–91 (1977). Southwestern markets power from 24 multi-purpose reservoir projects with hydroelectric power facilities constructed and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. These projects are located in the states of Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. Southwestern’s marketing area includes these States plus Kansas and Louisiana. The costs associated with the hydropower facilities of 22 of the 24 projects are repaid via revenues received under the Integrated System rates, as are those associated with Southwestern’s transmission facilities, which consist of 1,380 miles of highvoltage transmission lines, 24 substations, and 46 microwave and VHF radio sites. Costs associated with the Sam Rayburn and Robert D. Willis Dams, two Corps of Engineers projects that are isolated hydraulically, electrically, and financially from the Integrated System are repaid under separate rate schedules and are not addressed in this notice. Following Department of Energy guidelines, Southwestern, prepared a Current Power Repayment Study (‘‘Study’’) using existing system rates. (The guidelines for preparation of power repayment studies are included in DOE Order No. RA 6120.2, entitled Power Marketing Administration Financial Reporting). The Study indicates that Southwestern’s legal requirement to repay the investment in power generating and transmission facilities for power and energy marketed by Southwestern will not be met without an increase in revenues. The need for increased revenues is primarily due to increased investments and replacements in hydroelectric generating facilities for the U.S. Army’s Corps of Engineers (Corps) and increased operations and maintenance costs for both Southwestern and the Corps. The Revised Power Repayment Study shows that additional annual revenues of $17,330,858 (a 10.8 percent increase) are needed to satisfy repayment criteria. A Rate Design Study has also been completed which allocates the revenue requirement to the various system rate schedules for recovery, and provides for E:\FR\FM\23SEN1.SGM 23SEN1
