Centralized Capacity Markets in
Regional Transmission Organizations
and Independent System Operators;
Notice of Technical Conference
Take notice that the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission)
staff will hold a technical conference on
centralized capacity markets in Regional
Transmission Organizations and
Independent System Operators (RTOs/
ISOs) (centralized capacity markets).
The technical conference will take place
on September 25, 2013 beginning at 9:00
a.m. and ending at approximately 5:00
p.m. The conference will be held at the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
888 First Street NE., Washington, DC
20426. All interested persons are invited
to participate at the conference.
Commission members may participate
in the conference.
The purpose of the technical
conference is to consider how current
centralized capacity market rules and
structures are supporting the
procurement and retention of resources
necessary to meet future reliability and
operational needs. Since their
establishment, centralized capacity
markets have continued to evolve.
Meanwhile, the mix of resources is also
evolving in response to changing market
conditions, including low natural gas
prices, state and federal policies
encouraging the entry of renewable
resources and other specific
technologies, and the retirement of
aging generation resources. This
changing resource mix may result in
future reliability and operational needs
that are different than those of the past.
In addition, some states have pursued
individual resource adequacy policies to
ensure the development of new
resources in particular areas or with
particular characteristics, and questions

TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
37538
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 120 / Friday, June 21, 2013 / Notices
have been raised as to how those
individual policies can be
accommodated in centralized capacity
markets.
The Commission has addressed a
number of these issues in specific cases,
based on the facts and circumstances
presented in a given case and the
particular centralized capacity market
design implemented by individual
regions. This technical conference will
provide an opportunity to review at a
high level the centralized capacity
market rules and structures, and will
examine how these markets are
accomplishing their intended goals and
objectives through a competitive,
market-based process. Recognizing and
respecting differences across the
markets, the technical conference will
focus on the goals and objectives of
existing centralized capacity markets
(e.g., resource adequacy, long-term price
signals, fixed-cost recovery, etc.) and
examine how specific design elements
are accomplishing existing and
emerging goals and objectives (e.g.,
forward period, commitment period,
product definition and specificity,
market power mitigation, etc.).
A supplemental notice will be issued
prior to the technical conference with
further details regarding the agenda and
organization of the technical conference,
as well as information regarding interest
in speaking at the technical conference.
Those interested in attending the
technical conference are encouraged to
register at the following Web page:

The technical conference will not be
transcribed. However, there will be a

webcast will allow persons to listen to
the technical conference, but not

[Project No. 14513–000]
Idaho Irrigation District; New Sweden
Irrigation District; Notice of Preliminary
Permit Application Accepted for Filing
and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On April 19, 2013, the Idaho and New
Sweden Irrigation Districts, filed a joint
application for a preliminary permit,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal
Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the
feasibility of the County Line Road
Hydroelectric Project (County Line Road
Project or project) to be located on the
Snake River near Idaho Falls, in
Jefferson and Bonneville counties,
Idaho. 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
two developments, the Idaho Canal and
the Great Western Canal. Both
developments would utilize an existing
840-foot-long, 10-foot-high concrete
overflow weir impounding a reservoir
with a surface area of 30 acres and a
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703

storage capacity of 250-acre-feet at a
maximum surface elevation of 4,765 feet
mean sea level. The two developments
would also include the following new
facilities:
Idaho Canal Development
(1) A 70-foot-wide concrete diversion
structure with seven, 8-foot-wide, 5foot-high steel head gates to divert water
from the Snake River; (2) a 3.1-milelong, 65 to 75-foot-wide, 8 to 10-footdeep canal extending between the head
gates and the powerhouse; (3) a gate
structure in the canal to divert flows to
the powerhouse while maintaining
irrigation flows; (4) a powerhouse
containing a 1.2-megawatt (MW) Kaplan
turbine; (5) a tailrace canal; (6) a gated
overflow spillway to pass flows around
the powerhouse; (7) a 2,500-foot-long,
12.5-kilovolt (kV) transmission line
extending to a distribution line owned
by Rocky Mountain Power; (8) a
switchyard; and (9) appurtenant
facilities.
Great Western Canal Development
(1) An 80-foot-wide-concrete
diversion structure with four, 13-footwide, 5-foot-high steel radial head gates
to divert water from the Snake River; (2)
a 3.5-mile-long, 50 to 100-foot-wide, 8 to
10-foot-deep canal extending between
the head gates and the powerhouse; (3)
a gate structure in the canal to divert
flows to the powerhouse while
maintaining irrigation flows; (4) a
powerhouse containing a 1.3–MW
Kaplan turbine; (5) a tailrace canal; (6)
a gated overflow spillway to pass flows
around the powerhouse; (7) a 500-footlong, 12.5-kV transmission line
extending to a distribution line owned
by Rocky Mountain Power; (8) a
switchyard; and (9) appurtenant
facilities.
The estimated annual generation of
the County Line Road Project would be
18.3 gigawatt-hours. The project would
be partially located on 0.5 acres of
federal lands managed by the Bureau of
Land Management.
