Western must receive written comments by the end of the consultation period to ensure they are considered in Western’s decision process. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Linda Cady-Hoffman, Rates Manager, Upper Great Plains Region, Western Area Power Administration, 2900 4th Avenue North, Billings, Montana 59101–1266; telephone: (406) 255–2920; email: cady@wapa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By Delegation Order No. 00–037.00A, effective October 25, 2013, the Secretary of Energy delegated: (1) The authority to develop power and transmission rates to Western’s Administrator; (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. The existing rate schedules consist of separate rates for firm and non-firm transmission rates and ancillary services rates for the transmission facilities in the P–SMBP—ED, which are integrated with transmission facilities of Basin Electric Power Cooperative and Heartland Consumers Power District such that transmission services are provided over an Integrated System (IS). The rates are sometimes referred to as IS Rates. Rate Schedules UGP–NT1, UGP– FPT1, UGP–NFPT1, UGP–AS1, UGP– AS2, UGP–AS3, UGP–AS4, UGP–AS5, UGP–AS6, UGP–AS7 and UGP–TSP1 were approved under Rate Order Nos. WAPA–144 and WAPA–148 1 for a 5year period beginning on January 1, 2010, and ending December 31, 2014. The existing transmission and ancillary services rates provide adequate revenue to pay all annual costs, including interest expense, and to repay investment within the allowable period. The rates are calculated annually to ensure repayment of the project within the cost recovery criteria set forth in DOE Order RA 6120.2. Western is proposing no change at this time to the rate formulas. Since no changes are anticipated to the formulas and the existing formulary rates provide sufficient revenue to recover all appropriate costs, Western proposes to extend the current rate schedules through December 31, 2016, pursuant to 10 CFR 903.23(a). 1 Rate Order Nos. WAPA–144 and WAPA–148, 74 FR 68820, December 29, 2009; 132 FERC ¶ 61,257, FERC Docket No. EF10–3–000, September 23, 2010.

These documents are also available on Western’s Web site at: https://www.wapa.gov/ugp/rates/ default.htm. After review of public comments, Western will take further action on the proposed extension of formulary rates consistent with 10 CFR part 903. Dated: July 23, 2014. Mark A. Gabriel, Administrator.
