On March 12, 2013, JAL Hydro, LLC,
filed an application for a preliminary
permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to
study the feasibility of the Natick Pond
Dam Hydroelectric Project (Natick Pond
Dam Project or project) to be located on
the Pawtuxet River, in the towns of
Warwick and West Warwick, Kent
County, Rhode Island. The sole purpose
of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to
grant the permit holder priority to file
a license application during the permit
term. A preliminary permit does not
authorize the permit holder to perform
any land-disturbing activities or
otherwise enter upon lands or waters
owned by others without the owners’
express permission.
The proposed project would consist of
the following: (1) An existing 22.5-foothigh, 265-foot-long earth embankment
dam with a 166-foot-long granite

masonry block spillway; (2) the existing
26.9-acre Natick Pond with operating
elevation of about 48.5 feet above mean
sea level (msl); (3) a new 130-foot-long,
20-foot-wide, 6-foot-deep concrete
intake channel; (4) a new 10-foot-high,
20-foot-wide sluice gate equipped with
a new 10-foot-high, 20-foot-wide
trashrack with 6-inch bar spacing; (5)
two new 52-foot-long, 9.75-footdiameter Archimedes screw generator
units each rated at 148 kilowatts (kW)
for a total installed capacity of 296 kW;
(6) a new 10-foot-high, 27-foot-long, 42foot-wide concrete powerhouse
containing a new gearbox and electrical
controls; (7) a new above ground 145foot-long, 35.0-kilovolt transmission
line connecting the powerhouse to
National Grid’s distribution system; and
(8) appurtenant facilities. The estimated
annual generation of the proposed
Natick Pond Dam Project would be
about 1500 megawatt-hours. The
existing Natick Pond Dam and
appurtenant works are owned by the
City of Warwick, Rhode Island.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By
Delegation Order No. 00–037.00,
effective December 6, 2001, the
Secretary of Energy delegated: (1) The
authority to develop power and

Secretary of Energy; and (3) the
authority to confirm, approve, and place
into effect on a final basis, to remand,
or to disapprove such rates to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC).
The existing Rate Schedules CAP–
FT2, CAP–NFT2, CAP–NITS2 under
Rate Order No. WAPA–124,1 were
approved for a 5-year period beginning
on January 1, 2006, and ending
December 31, 2010.2 Rate Order No.
WAPA–153 3 extended the approval
period for these rate schedules for a
2-year period, beginning January 1,
2011, through December 31, 2012.
The existing Central Arizona Project
rate setting formula methodology
provides for the calculation of rates to
collect sufficient revenue to pay all
annual costs, including interest
expense, and repayment of required
investment thus ensuring repayment of
the project within the cost recovery
criteria set forth in DOE Order RA
6120.2. The rates are updated annually
using new financial and transmission
reservation data. For the reasons
explained in its Proposed Extension
WAPA–158, published in the Federal
Register on August 7, 2012 (77 FR
47065), Western is not changing the rate
formula at this time. Based on financial
and contractual information, Western
also determined that the existing
calculated rate provides sufficient
revenue to recover all appropriate costs
and will remain in place through
