ACTION: Notice of interim approval for Southeastern Power Administration Cumberland System. AGENCY: PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The Deputy Secretary of Energy confirmed and approved, on an interim basis, Rate Schedules CBR–1–H, CSI–1–H, CEK–1–H, CM–1–H, CC–1–I, CK–1–H, CTV–1–H, CTVI–1–A, and Replacement-3. The rates were approved on an interim basis through September 30, 2013. The new rates take effect on October 1, 2011, and are subject to confirmation and approval on a final basis by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission). DATES: Approval of the rate schedules on an interim basis is effective October 1, 2011, through September 30, 2013. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Virgil G. Hobbs, III, Assistant Administrator, Finance & Marketing, Southeastern Power Administration, Department of Energy, 1166 Athens Tech Road, Elberton, Georgia 30635– 6711, (706) 213–3800. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 6, 2009, the Commission confirmed and approved on a final basis Wholesale Power Rate Schedules CBR–1–G, CSI–1– G, CEK–1–G, CM–1–G, CC–1–H, CK–1– G, and CTV–1–G for the period from October 1, 2008, to September 30, 2013 (127 FERC ¶ 62,115). Rate Schedule CTVI–1 was approved by the Administrator, Southeastern Power Administration, for a period ending September 30, 2013. The power marketing policy provides peaking capacity, along with 1500 hours of energy with each kilowatt of capacity, to customers outside the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) transmission system. Due to restrictions on the operations of the Wolf Creek and Center Hill Projects imposed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) as a precaution to prevent failure of the dam, Southeastern has not been able to provide peaking capacity to these customers. An interim operating plan for the Cumberland System provides these customers with energy that does not include capacity. A current repayment study using present rates shows that revenues will not be adequate to meet repayment criteria. A revised study with a revenue requirement increase of $9,570,000, or about eighteen percent, shows that these rates will be adequate to meet repayment criteria. Because the estimated annual energy delivered to the customers has been reduced, the rate increase under the interim operating plan is about 40 percent. The rate schedules have been developed to cover the differing marketing arrangements in the Cumberland System under normal operation conditions.
