In determining allocations, Western will consider existing Federal power resource allocations of the applicants. 10. Western will base allocations to Native American tribes on actual loads experienced in the most recent calendar year. Western may use estimated load values if actual load data are not available. Western will evaluate and may adjust inconsistent estimates during the allocation process. Western is available to assist tribes in developing load estimates. 11. Western will base allocations to eligible applicants on the actual loads experienced in the most recent calendar year and will apply current marketing criteria to these loads. 12. The minimum allocation will be 100 kW. 13. Contractors must execute electric service contracts within 6 months of receiving a contract offer from Western, unless Western agrees otherwise in writing. 14. If unanticipated obstacles to the delivery of electric service to a Native American tribe arise, Western retains the right to provide the economic benefit of the resource directly to the tribe. 15. Existing Marketable Resource: Dependent upon available resource, Western proposes extending the existing contract rates of delivery commitments, with associated energy, to the existing SLCA/IP long-term, firm power customers. 16. Hydrology and River Operations Withdrawal Provision: Western will reserve the right to adjust, at its discretion and sole determination, the contract rate of delivery on 5 years’ advance written notice in response to changes in hydrology and river operations. Any such adjustments would occur after an appropriate public process. 17. Service Seasons: The Proposed 2025 Marketing Plan supports continuing the current SLCA/IP summer and winter seasons. A. Summer Season: The 6-month period from the first day of the April billing period through the last day of the September billing period in any calendar year. B. Winter Season: The 6-month period from the first day of the October billing period of any calendar year through the last day of the March billing period of the next succeeding calendar year. 18. Retention of Existing Contract Provisions: The Proposed 2025 Marketing Plan supports using the existing SLCA/IP firm electric service contract provisions with only minor modifications. Customer Displacement Power (CDP) and Western Replacement VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:21 Dec 15, 2015 Jkt 238001 Power (WRP) contract provisions will continue to be available in the new SLCA/IP firm electric service contracts. The CDP and WRP provisions allow customers, at their discretion, to augment hydropower allocations with purchase power. Western reserves enough capacity on the CRSP transmission system to deliver the maximum amount of hydropower the system is capable of generating, which under certain conditions can sometime occur. In times when hydropower deliveries are lower, this transmission capacity can be made available for use by the customers. Under CDP, customers may elect to use this reserved transmission capacity to deliver their own energy resources in hours that it is needed to augment the hydropower deliveries. WRP is similar to CDP, but customers request that Western act as their agent and purchase energy available on the market to augment hydropower deliveries. Availability of Information Documents developed or retained by Western during this public process will be available, by appointment, for inspection and copying at the CRSP MC, located at 150 East Social Hall Avenue, Suite 300, Salt Lake City, Utah. Western will post information concerning the Proposed 2025 Marketing Plan on its Web site at: https://www.wapa.gov/ regions/CRSP/PowerMarketing/Pages/ power-marketing.aspx. Written comments received as part of the 2025 Marketing Plan formal public process will be available for viewing on the Web site. Procedural Requirements Environmental Compliance Western will evaluate this action for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4347), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), and DOE NEPA Regulations (10 CFR 1021).
