Good, Lynn J.; Notice of Filing, 67190-67191 [E9-30067]

Download as PDF 67190 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 242 / Friday, December 18, 2009 / Notices waste as would be the case with the other waste to be treated in each alternative; it would thus not be shipped to WIPP for disposal. Ecology, a cooperating agency on this EIS, has requested the following modification to its Foreword in response to that change: Ecology acknowledges that subsequent to publishing the draft EIS, DOE has revised its preferred alternative to propose that waste from specific Hanford tanks containing what DOE believes might be mixed TRU waste be treated at Hanford through the WTP. This change does not alter Ecology’s expectations concerning this waste. Because Ecology has had, and continues to have, legal and technical concerns with any Hanford tank waste being classified as mixed TRU waste, Ecology has always assumed that the waste would be treated at Hanford through the WTP. Ecology expects that the end date for completing treatment of Hanford’s tank waste will not be altered by treating the waste from these specific tanks through the WTP. Regarding DOE’s preferred alternative for waste management, (Section S.7.3 of the Summary and Section 2.12 of the main volume) DOE would not send LLW and MLLW from other DOE sites to Hanford for disposal (with some limited specific exceptions) at least until the WTP is operational, consistent with DOE’s proposed settlement agreement with the State of Washington. Off-site waste would be addressed after the WTP is operational subject to appropriate NEPA review. Although the Draft EIS considers the cumulative impacts of the potential receipt of GTCC LLW at Hanford, DOE is preparing a separate EIS on GTCC LLW disposition. However, similar to its preference regarding the importation of LLW and MLLW, DOE announces that it does not prefer to import GTCC LLW to Hanford at least until the WTP is operational.

ACTION: Notice of order concerning firm electric rates. The Deputy Secretary of Energy has confirmed and approved Rate Order No. WAPA–146 and Rate SUMMARY: VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:33 Dec 17, 2009 Jkt 220001 Schedule L–F9, placing firm electric service rates from the Loveland Area Projects (LAP) of the Western Area Power Administration (Western) into effect on an interim basis. The provisional rates will be in effect until the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) confirms, approves, and places them into effect on a final basis or until they are replaced by other rates. The provisional rates will provide sufficient revenue to pay all annual costs, including interest expense, and repay investments and irrigation aid within the allowable periods. DATES: Rate Schedule L–F9 will be placed into effect on an interim basis on the first day of the first full billing period beginning on or after January 1, 2010, and will remain in effect until FERC confirms, approves, and places the rate schedule into effect on a final basis ending December 31, 2014, or until the rate schedule is superseded.

Warren, Regional Manager, Rocky Mountain Customer Service Region, Western Area Power Administration, 5555 East Crossroads Boulevard, Loveland, CO 80538–8986, telephone (970) 461–7201, or Mrs. Sheila D. Cook, Rates Manager, Rocky Mountain Customer Service Region, Western Area Power Administration, 5555 East Crossroads Boulevard, Loveland, CO 80538–8986, telephone (970) 461–7211, e-mail scook@wapa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Acting Deputy Secretary of Energy approved existing Rate Schedule L–F8 for firm electric service on an interim basis on January 8, 2009 (74 FR 3015, January 16, 2009), for a 5-year period beginning on February 1, 2009, and ending December 31, 2013.1 Under Rate Schedule L–F8, the composite rate is 37.24 mills per kilowatthour (mills/ kWh), the firm energy rate is 18.62 mills/kWh, and the firm capacity rate is $4.88 per kilowattmonth (kWmonth). This Rate Schedule is formula based, providing for an increase in the Drought Adder rate component of up to 2 mills/ kWh without a formal public process. The current rate, including a 2 mills/ kWh increase provided for under the Drought Adder rate component, is not sufficient to meet the LAP revenue requirement. As a result, the LAP firm electric service rates must be increased mostly due to the financial impacts of the drought. The drought is causing a decrease in hydro-power generation, leading to an increase in purchase power expenses and a decrease in revenue from non-firm energy sales. Additional increases are being driven by slight increases in operation and maintenance costs, as well as the inclusion of additional transmission costs associated with the wheeling of Mt. Elbert generation in the FryingpanArkansas Power Repayment Study. Rate Schedule L–F8 is being superseded by Rate Schedule L–F9. Under Rate Schedule L–F9, the provisional rates for firm electric service will result in a composite rate of 41.42 mills/kWh. The firm energy rate will be 20.71 mills/kWh (a Base component of 12.54 mills/kWh and a Drought Adder component of 8.17 mills/kWh) and the capacity rate will be $5.43/kWmonth (a Base component of $3.29/kWmonth and a Drought Adder component of $2.14/ kWmonth). This is an 11.2 percent increase when compared to the LAP firm electric rates under Rate Schedule L–F8. By Delegation Order No. 00–037.00, effective December 6, 2001, the Secretary of Energy delegated: (1) The authority to develop power and transmission rates to the Administrator of Western; (2) the authority to confirm, approve, and place such rates into effect on an interim basis to the Deputy Secretary of Energy; and (3) the authority to confirm, approve, and place into effect on a final basis, to remand, or to disapprove such rates to FERC. Existing Department of Energy procedures for public participation in power rate adjustments (10 CFR part 903) were published on September 18, 1985. Under Delegation Order Nos. 00– 037.00 and 00–001.00C, 10 CFR part 903, and 18 CFR part 300, I hereby confirm, approve, and place Rate Order No. WAPA–146, the proposed LAP firm electric service rates, into effect on an interim basis. The new Rate Schedule L–F9 will be promptly submitted to FERC for confirmation and approval on a final basis. 1 FERC confirmed and approved Rate Order WAPA–142 on June 26, 2009, in Docket No. EF09– 5181.
