The Bistineau Storage Facility is a
converted gas producing reservoir and
many of the original producing wells
were converted to storage service by
Gulf South in the late 1960’s. Some of
the existing well bores are over 50 years
old and have begun to deteriorate either
mechanically or operationally. Gulf
South proposed to construct a new
horizontal well to replace one or more

ACTION: Notice of proposed marketing
criteria.
AGENCY:
The Western Area Power
Administration (Western), a Federal
power marketing agency of the
Department of Energy (DOE), is seeking
comments on proposed marketing
criteria for allocating the Federal power

The Conformed Power Marketing
Criteria or Regulations for the Boulder
Canyon Project (2012 Conformed
Criteria) published in the Federal
Register on June 14, 2012, as required
by the Hoover Power Allocation Act of
2011, established a resource pool (Post2017 Resource Pool) to be allocated to
new allottees and general eligibility
criteria. Western is proposing for
comment additional marketing criteria
to be used to allocate the Post-2017
Resource Pool that will become
available October 1, 2017. Once
determined, these marketing criteria, in
conjunction with the 2012 Conformed
Criteria, will establish the framework for
allocating power from the Post-2017
Resource Pool. This Federal Register

applications. A call for applications
from those interested in an allocation of
BCP power will occur in a future notice.
DATES: Entities interested in
commenting on proposed marketing
criteria must submit written comments
to Western’s Desert Southwest Customer
Service Regional Office at the address
below. Western will accept written
comments received on or before January

2. November 28, 2012, 1 p.m., MST,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BCP
was authorized by the Boulder Canyon
Project Act of 1928 (Act) (43 U.S.C.
617). Under Section 5 of the Act, the
Secretary of the Interior marketed the
capacity and energy from the BCP under
electric service contracts effective
through May 31, 1987. In 1977 the
power marketing functions of the
Secretary of Interior were transferred to
Western by Section 302 of the
Department of Energy Organization Act
(42 U.S.C. 7152). Thereafter, on
December 28, 1984, Western published
the Conformed General Consolidated
Criteria or Regulations for Boulder City
Area Projects (1984 Conformed Criteria)
(49 FR 50582) to implement applicable
provisions of the Hoover Power Plant
Act of 1984 (43 U.S.C. 619) for the
marketing of BCP power through
September 30, 2017.
On December 20, 2011, Congress
enacted the Hoover Power Allocation
Act of 2011 (Pub. L. 112–72) (HPAA),
which provides direction and guidance
in marketing BCP power after the
existing contracts expire September 30,
2017. On June 14, 2012, Western
published the 2012 Conformed Criteria
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
65681
(77 FR 35671) to implement applicable
provisions of the HPAA for the
marketing of BCP power from October 1,
2017 through September 30, 2067. The
2012 Conformed Criteria formally
established a resource pool defined as
‘‘Schedule D’’ to be allocated to new
allottees. In accordance with the HPAA,
Western allocated portions of Schedule
D to the Arizona Power Authority (APA)
and the Colorado River Commission of
Nevada (CRC), respectively, as
described in the June 14, 2012, FRN. Of
the remaining portions of Schedule D,
Western is to allocate 11,510 kilowatts
(kW) of contingent capacity and
associated firm energy to new allottees
within the State of California, and
69,170 kW of contingent capacity and
associated firm energy to new allottees
within the Boulder City Area marketing
area.
Proposed Post-2017 Resource Pool
Marketing Criteria
Western proposes to apply the
following general marketing criteria to
applicants seeking an allocation of
power from the Post-2017 Resource
Pool. This includes all prescribed
portions of Schedule D power to be
allocated by Western as described
above.
A. Allocations of power will be made
in amounts determined solely by
Western in exercise of its discretion
under Reclamation Law, including the
HPAA.
B. An allottee may purchase power
only upon the execution of an electric
service contract and satisfaction of all
conditions stated within that contract.
C. Eligible applicants, except Native
American tribes, must be ready, willing,
and able to receive and distribute or use
power from Western. Ready, willing,
and able means the eligible applicant
has the facilities needed for the receipt
of power or has made the necessary
arrangements for transmission and/or
distribution service, and its power
supply contracts with third parties
permit the delivery of Western’s power.
Eligible applicants must have the
necessary arrangements for transmission
and/or distribution service in place by
October 1, 2016.
D. An eligible Native American
applicant must be an Indian tribe as
defined in the Indian Self Determination
Act of 1975, 25 U.S.C. 450b, as
amended.
E. In determining allocations, Western
will give priority consideration in the
following order to entities satisfying
these marketing criteria:
1. Federally recognized Native
American tribes.
