SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC), by order issued December 8,
2006,117 FERC ¶ 62,220, confirmed and
approved Rate Schedules VA–1–A, VA–
2–A, VA–3–A, VA–4–A, CP&L–1–A,
CP&L–2–A, CP&L–3–A, CP&L–4–A, AP–
1–A, AP–2–A, AP–3–A, AP–4–A, NC–
1–A, Replacement-2, and VANC–1 for
the period October 1, 2006, to
September 30, 2011. A repayment study
prepared in January of 2010 showed that
existing rates are not adequate to
recover all costs required by present
repayment criteria. Due to the projected
shortfall a revised repayment study was
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
prepared with a revenue increase of
$3,723,000 in Fiscal Year 2011 and all
future years. The revised repayment
plan shows that all costs will be repaid
within their service life. Therefore,
Southeastern is proposing to revise the
existing rates to generate this additional
revenue. The increase is primarily due
to a severe drought. The rate adjustment
is an increase of about 20 percent.
Proposed Unit Rates
Under the proposed rates, the
capacity charge will increase from the
current $2.98 per kilowatt per month to
$3.91 per kilowatt per month. The
energy charge will increase from the
current 11.90 mills per kilowatt-hour to
15.66 mills per kilowatt-hour. In
addition, Southeastern proposes to
continue a Tandem Transmission rate,
which is designed to recover the cost of
transmitting power from a project to the
border of another transmitting system.
This rate is to be a formulary passthrough rate based on the charges by
transmission facilitators and is
estimated to be $2.14 per kilowatt per
month.
In addition to these proposed rate
adjustments, Southeastern is proposing
to continue a true-up based on the costs
that are transferred to plant in service in
the preceding fiscal year to cover the
costs associated with this rehabilitation.
The John H. Kerr Project is currently
undergoing rehabilitation, and a true-up
adjustment is incorporated in the
current rates. For each increase of
$1,000,000 to plant in service, an
increase of $0.013 per kilowatt per
month will be added to the capacity
charge, and 0.052 mills per kilowatthour will be added to the energy charge.
Southeastern is proposing the
following rate schedules to be effective
for the period from October 1, 2010, to
September 30, 2015. The capacity
charge and energy charge will be the
same for all rate schedules. These rate
schedules are necessary to
accommodate the transmission and
scheduling arrangements that are
available in the Kerr-Philpott System.

Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
February 3, 2010.
In September 2008, the United States
Government Accountability Office
(GAO) issued a report titled ‘‘Electricity
Restructuring: FERC Could Take
Additional Steps to Analyze Regional
Transmission Organizations’ Benefits
and Performance,’’ GAO–08–987. This
report recommends that the Chairman of
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (Commission or FERC),
among other actions, work with regional
transmission organizations (RTO),
Independent System Operators (ISO),
stakeholders and other experts to
develop standardized measures that
track the performance of RTO/ISO
operations and markets and report the
performance results to Congress and the
public annually, while also providing
interpretation of (1) what the measures
and reported performance communicate
about the benefits of RTOs and, where
appropriate, (2) changes that need to be
made to address any performance
concerns.
As recommended by GAO,
Commission staff has worked with a
team comprised of staff from all the
jurisdictional ISOs/RTOs to develop a
set of performance metrics that the
ISOs/RTOs will use to report annually
to the Commission. Commission staff
and representatives from the ISOs/RTOs
have also met with interested
stakeholders to solicit their perspectives
and comments on the proposed
performance metrics.
Commission staff requests comments
on whether the proposed performance
metrics will effectively track the
performance of ISO/RTO operations and
markets. Comments must be filed on or
before March 5, 2010. Reply comments
must be filed on or before March 19,
2010.
Addresses: Parties may submit
comments, identified by Docket No.
AD10–5–000, by one of the following
methods.
Agency Web site: https://www.ferc.
gov/. Follow the instructions for
submitting comments via the eFiling
link found under the ‘‘Documents and
Filing’’ tab.
Mail: Commenters unable to file
comments electronically must mail or
hand deliver an original and 14 copies
of their comments to: Federal Energy

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC), by order issued December 8, 2006,117 FERC ] 62,220, confirmed
