Public Notice
This constitutes notice, in accordance
with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of the receipt
of prohibited and exempt off-the-record
communications.
Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222,
September 22, 1999) requires
Commission decisional employees, who
make or receive a prohibited or exempt
off-the-record communication relevant
to the merits of a contested proceeding,
to deliver to the Secretary of the
Commission, a copy of the
communication, if written, or a
summary of the substance of any oral
communication.
Prohibited communications are
included in a public, non-decisional file
associated with, but not a part of, the
decisional record of the proceeding.
Unless the Commission determines that
the prohibited communication and any
responses thereto should become a part
of the decisional record, the prohibited
off-the-record communication will not
be considered by the Commission in
reaching its decision. Parties to a
proceeding may seek the opportunity to
respond to any facts or contentions
made in a prohibited off-the-record
communication, and may request that
the Commission place the prohibited
communication and responses thereto
in the decisional record. The
Commission will grant such a request
only when it determines that fairness so
requires. Any person identified below as
having made a prohibited off-the-record
communication shall serve the
document on all parties listed on the
official service list for the applicable
proceeding in accordance with Rule
2010, 18 CFR 385.2010.
Exempt off-the-record
communications are included in the
decisional record of the proceeding,
unless the communication was with a
cooperating agency as described by 40
CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR
385.2201(e) (1) (v).
The following is a list of off-therecord communications recently
received by the Secretary of the
Commission. The communications
listed are grouped by docket numbers in
ascending order. These filings are
available for review at the Commission
in the Public Reference Room or may be
viewed on the Commission’s Web site at

This cancellation is effective on
September 16, 2011.
DATES:
For
further information on the cancellation

Western is
cancelling the preparation of an EIS
under the NEPA on an interconnection
request by HVS for a proposed utilityscale solar generation facility. HVS
proposed to design, construct, operate,
and maintain a 340-megawatt solar
generation facility, and ancillary
facilities including transmission line,
access roads, and temporary laydown
areas, about 27 miles north of Kingman
in Mohave County, Arizona. HVS
applied to interconnect the solar
generation facility to Western’s regional
electric transmission system at one of
two alternative points, (1) the MeadPhoenix Transmission Line; or (2) the
Liberty-Mead Transmission Line, thus
triggering a NEPA review of Western’s
action to approve or deny HVS’s request
to interconnect its proposed project
with Western’s transmission system. If
either one of the interconnection
requests were approved, Western would
have needed to construct and operate an
interconnection facility at one of the
interconnection points. Portions of
HVS’s proposed transmission line,
effluent pipeline, and access roads
would cross land administered by the
U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of
Land Management (BLM), and would
require right-of-way (ROW)
authorization from BLM. In addition,
Western applied to the BLM for an
amendment to the ROW for its MeadLiberty transmission line to
accommodate a proposed new
switchyard, and issue ROW for the
proposed switchyard access road. BLM
was a cooperating agency for the
preparation of the EIS.
A Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement was
published in the Federal Register on
September 15, 2009 (74 FR 47245).
Public scoping meetings were held
subsequent to the Notice of Intent, but
a Draft EIS was not produced. The HVS
interconnection requests are no longer
active; accordingly, Western is
terminating the NEPA review process on
its interconnection decision.
The Assistant Secretary, Environment,
Safety and Health granted approval
authority to Western’s Administrator for
EISs related to integrating major new
sources of generation in an October 4,
1999, memorandum. Under the
authority granted by that memorandum,
I have terminated the NEPA process for
HVS’s proposed project with the
publication of this notice.
