These Transmission Service Rate Schedules contain formula rates recalculated from annual updated financial and load data.

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 transmission rates to the Administrator of Western Area Power Administration (Western); (2) the authority to confirm, approve, and place such rates into effect on an interim basis to the Deputy 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 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 1 FERC confirmed and approved Rate Order No. WAPA–124 on June 29, 2006, in Docket No. EF06– 5111–000.
