NW., Suite 1000, Washington, DC
20004, (202) 272–0080 (Metro Stop:
Metro Center).
AGENDA: The Commission will host a
roundtable discussion regarding the
various accessibility issues the EAC is
exploring with its work with the
revision to the 2005 Voluntary Voting
System Guidelines (VVSG). The goal of
the roundtable is to provide the EAC
with relevant information and
implementable suggestions that the
Commission can use as it attempts to
make these policy decisions.
The discussion will be focused upon
the following topics: (1) New issues that
were not addressed or anticipated by the
2005 VVSG; (2) Use of transferrable
technologies and use of adaptive
devices; (3) Issues with verification of
vote and/or paper ballot by disabled
voters; (4) Improvements to
conformance and summative testing to
accessible requirements by the EAC and
manufacturer(s); (5) The possible
benefits and drawbacks of component
testing and certification; (6) Telephone
voting systems and accessibility
requirements; (7) The strengths and
weaknesses of allowing submission for
certification of systems in two
categories, systems without accessibility
components and accessible voting
systems.
Members of the public may observe
but not participate in EAC meetings
unless this notice provides otherwise.
Members of the public may use small
electronic audio recording devices to
record the proceedings. The use of other

Background
The Western Area Power
Administration (Western), a Federal
power marketing administration of the
Department of Energy (DOE), published
its 2004 Power Marketing Plan
(Marketing Plan) for the Sierra Nevada

Marketing Plan specifies the terms and
conditions under which Western will
market power from the Central Valley
Project (CVP) and the Washoe Project
beginning January 1, 2005, and
continuing through December 31, 2024.
The Marketing Plan provided for a
portion of SNR’s resources to be
reallocated through a 2015 Resource
Pool. On June 3, 2009, Western
published a Call for 2015 Resource Pool
Applications. On September 28, 2009,
Western published a Notice of
Extension to file applications. This
notice announces Western’s proposed
allocations of power from the 2015
Resource Pool.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Pursuant to the Marketing Plan (64 FR
34417, June 25, 1999), Western
published the Call for 2015 Resource
Pool Applications in the Federal
Register (74 FR 26671, June 3, 2009).
Western subsequently published a
Notice of Extension in the Federal
Register (74 FR 49366, September 28,
2009). The Call for 2015 Resource Pool
Applications required that applications
for Federal power from the CVP and
Washoe Projects be submitted by August
3, 2009, and the Notice of Extension
extended the submission date to
October 28, 2009.
CVP power facilities are operated by
the U.S. Department of the Interior,
Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation),
and include 11 powerplants with a
maximum operating capability of about
2,044 megawatts (MW), and an
estimated average annual generation of
3.3 million megawatthours (MWh).
Western markets and transmits power
available from the CVP.
The Washoe Project’s Stampede
Powerplant also is operated by
Reclamation and has a maximum
operating capability of 3.65 MW with an
estimated annual generation of 10,000
MWh. The Sierra Pacific Power
Company owns and operates the only
transmission system available for access
to the Stampede Powerplant.
Western owns the 94 circuit-mile
Malin-Round Mountain 500-kilovolt
(kV) transmission line and the 84
circuit-mile Los Banos-Gates No. 3 500kV transmission line (both integral parts
of the Pacific Northwest-Pacific
Southwest Intertie), 803 circuit miles of
230-kV transmission line, 7 circuit miles
of 115-kV transmission line, and
approximately 63 circuit miles of 69-kV
and below transmission line. Western
also has part ownership in the 342-mile
California-Oregon Transmission Project.
Many of Western’s existing customers
have no direct access to Western’s
transmission lines and receive service
over transmission lines owned by other
utilities.
The Marketing Plan describes how
SNR will market its power resources
beginning January 1, 2005, through
December 31, 2024. Western proposes to
allocate portions of the 2015 Resource
Pool to applicants meeting the eligibility
criteria listed in the Marketing Plan.
Once the 2015 Resource Pool allocations
have been finalized, Western will offer
contracts to allottees for a percentage of
the Base Resource. If requested, Western
will work with the allottees to develop
a customized product to meet their
needs, as more fully described in the
Marketing Plan.

Once the final 2015 Resource Pool
allocations have been determined and
published, Western will work with the
allottees to develop a customized
product to meet their needs as requested
by such allottees and as more fully
described in the Marketing Plan. It is
each allottee’s responsibility to obtain
transmission arrangements for the
delivery of power to its load. Upon
request, Western may assist an allottee
in obtaining transmission arrangements
for the delivery of power. If an allottee
fails to secure delivery arrangements
acceptable to Western, Western will
withdraw the allocation. Western will
offer a prototype contract for power
allocated under the final 2015 Resource
Pool allocations. Allottees will be
required to execute a contract within 6
months of the contract offer. Electric

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Pursuant to the Marketing Plan (64 FR 34417, June 25, 1999),
Western published the Call for 2015 Resource Pool Applications in the
Federal Register (74 FR 26671, June 3, 2009). Western subsequently
published a Notice of Extension in the Federal Register (74 FR 49366,
September 28, 2009). The Call for 2015 Resource Pool Applications
required that applications for Federal power from the CVP and Washoe
Projects be submitted by August 3, 2009, and the Notice of Extension
extended the submission date to October 28, 2009.
CVP power facilities are operated by the U.S. Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), and include 11
powerplants with a maximum operating capability of about 2,044
megawatts (MW), and an estimated average annual generation of 3.3
million megawatthours (MWh). Western markets and transmits power
available from the CVP.
The Washoe Project's Stampede Powerplant also is operated by
Reclamation and has a maximum operating capability of 3.65 MW with an
estimated annual generation of 10,000 MWh. The Sierra Pacific Power
Company owns and operates the only transmission system available for
access to the Stampede Powerplant.
Western owns the 94 circuit-mile Malin-Round Mountain 500-kilovolt
(kV) transmission line and the 84 circuit-mile Los Banos-Gates No. 3
500-kV transmission line (both integral parts of the Pacific Northwest-
Pacific Southwest Intertie), 803 circuit miles of 230-kV transmission
line, 7 circuit miles of 115-kV transmission line, and approximately 63
circuit miles of 69-kV and below transmission line. Western also has
part ownership in the 342-mile California-Oregon Transmission Project.
Many of Western's existing customers have no direct access to Western's
transmission lines and receive service over transmission lines owned by
other utilities.
The Marketing Plan describes how SNR will market its power
resources beginning January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2024. Western
proposes to allocate portions of the 2015 Resource Pool to applicants
meeting the eligibility criteria listed in the Marketing Plan. Once the
2015 Resource Pool allocations have been finalized, Western will offer
contracts to allottees for a percentage of the Base Resource. If
requested, Western will work with the allottees to develop a customized
product to meet their needs, as more fully described in the Marketing
Plan.
[[Page 44943]]
Proposed 2015 Resource Pool Allocations
Pursuant to the Marketing Plan, a two-step process was undertaken
by Western to determine proposed power allocations. First, Western
determined which applicants met the eligibility criteria. Next, Western
used the allocation criteria to determine allocation amounts. Western
then determined which eligible entities received a proposed allocation
and the amount of the proposed allocation. Western received 44
applications from existing customers and 13 applications from entities
who are not currently customers.
The proposed 2015 Resource Pool allocations are preliminary and may
be changed based on comments received. This notice formally requests
comments related to the proposed allocations. After considering timely
comments, Western will publish a Notice of Final 2015 Resource Pool
Allocations in the Federal Register. Western will respond to comments
received on the proposed allocations in that notice.
The proposed 2015 Resource Pool allottees, the allocations
expressed as percentages of the Base Resource, and the estimated MWh
amounts of each allocation are listed below. The estimated MWh for each
allocation assumes an estimated average annual Base Resource of
3,342,000 MWh and are rounded to the nearest MWh. The proposed

Contracting Process
Once the final 2015 Resource Pool allocations have been determined
and published, Western will work with the allottees to develop a
customized product to meet their needs as requested by such allottees
and as more fully described in the Marketing Plan. It is each
allottee's responsibility to obtain transmission arrangements for the
delivery of power to its load. Upon request, Western may assist an
allottee in obtaining transmission arrangements for the delivery of
power. If an allottee fails to secure delivery arrangements acceptable
to Western, Western will withdraw the allocation. Western will offer a
prototype contract for power allocated under the final 2015 Resource
Pool allocations. Allottees will be required to execute a contract
within 6 months of the contract offer. Electric service contracts will
be effective upon Western's signature, and service will begin on
January 1, 2015.
Authorities
The Marketing Plan, published in the Federal Register (64 FR 34417)
on June 25, 1999, was established pursuant to the Department of Energy
Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7101-7352); the Reclamation Act of June 17,
1902 (ch. 1093, 32 Stat. 388) as amended and supplemented by subsequent
enactments, particularly section 9(c) of the Reclamation Project Act of
1939 (43 U.S.C. 485(c)); and other acts specifically applicable to the
projects involved. This action falls within the Marketing Plan and,
thus, is covered by the same authority.
Regulatory Procedure Requirements
Environmental Compliance
In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42
U.S.C. 4321-4347), Council on Environmental Quality NEPA implementing
regulations (40 CFR parts 1500-1508), and DOE NEPA implementing
