Public Notice and Comment
Western followed the Procedures for
Public Participation in Power and
Transmission Rate Adjustments and
Extensions, 10 CFR part 903, in
developing these rates. The steps
Western took to involve interested
parties in the rate process were:
1. An FRN was published on July 24,
2015 (80 FR 44100) announcing the
proposed rates for transmission service,
initiating a public consultation and
comment period, and setting forth the
dates and locations of public
information and public comment
forums.
2. On July 29, 2015, Western notified
all CAP customers and interested parties
of the rate adjustment and provided a
copy of the published FRN.
3. On August 27, 2015, Western held
a public information forum in Phoenix,
Arizona. Western explained the
proposed rates and potential changes to
the proposed rates, answered questions,
and provided handouts.
4. On September 24, 2015, Western
held a public comment forum in
Phoenix, Arizona, to give the public an
opportunity to comment for the record.
There were no comments received at
this forum.
5. Western created a CAP rate
adjustment Web site to provide
interested parties with information
about this rate adjustment process. The
Web site is located at https://
www.wapa.gov/regions/DSW/Rates/
Pages/central-arizona-rates.aspx
6. On October 6, 2015, Western
provided answers to a list of questions
concerning the proposed rates and
posted the answers on the CAP rate
adjustment Web site.
Project Description
The CAP is one of three related water
development projects that make up the
Colorado River Basin Project. The others
are the Dixie and the Upper Basin
projects. The CAP was developed for
Arizona and western New Mexico; the
Dixie Project for southeastern Utah; and
the Upper Basin Project for Colorado
and New Mexico.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 249 / Tuesday, December 29, 2015 / Notices
Congress authorized the Colorado
River Basin Project in 1968 to improve
water resources in the Colorado River
Basin. Segments of the 1968
authorization allowed Federal
participation in the Navajo Generating
Station (Navajo), which has three coalfired steam electric generating units
with a combined capacity of 2,250 MW.
Construction of the plant, located near
Lake Powell at Page, Arizona, began in
1970 and generation began in 1976.
The 24.3 percent Federal Share of
Navajo, or 546,750 kW, is used to power
the pumps that move Colorado River
water through CAP canals. Surplus
generation is currently marketed under
the Navajo Power Marketing Plan
adopted on Dec. 1, 1987. Surplus Navajo
short-term firm and non-firm
transmission service will be marketed at
the CAP 115/230-kV transmission rate
during the term of the rate schedules.
Existing and Provisional Rates
The existing rates for point-to-point
transmission service consist of a firm
rate and a non-firm rate. The existing
rate for firm point-to-point transmission
service under Rate Schedule CAP–FT2
is $13.56/kW-year. The existing rate for
non-firm point-to-point transmission
service under Rate Schedule CAP–NFT2
is 1.55 mills/kWh. The existing rates
under Rate Schedules CAP–FT2, CAP–
NFT2, and CAP–NITS2 expire
December 31, 2015.
The provisional rates will supersede
the existing rates and become effective
on an interim basis on the first day of
the first full billing period beginning on
or after January 1, 2016. The provisional
rate for firm point-to-point transmission
service under Rate Schedule CAP–FT3
is $14.88/kW-year. The provisional rate
for non-firm point-to-point transmission
service under Rate Schedule CAP–NFT3
is 1.70 mills/kWh. The provisional rates
will result in a rate increase of 10
percent when compared to the existing
rates. A comparison of the existing and
provisional rates for transmission
service follows:

Certification of Rates
Western’s Administrator certified that
the provisional rates for CAP
transmission service under Rate
Schedules CAP–FT3, CAP–NFT3, and
CAP–NITS3 are the lowest possible
rates consistent with sound business
principles. The provisional rates were
developed following administrative
policies and applicable laws.
Transmission Rate Discussion
According to Reclamation law,
Western must establish rates which
provide sufficient revenue to recover
annual O&M, purchase power,
transmission service and other costs,
interest expense, and repay investments.
Western calculates the rates each year to
determine if the existing rates will
provide adequate revenue to repay all
power system costs within the required
time. Repayment criteria are based on
existing law and applicable policies,
including DOE Order RA 6120.2. To
meet the cost recovery criteria outlined
in DOE Order RA 6120.2, a rate
calculation was completed to
demonstrate that sufficient revenues
will be collected under the provisional
rates to meet future obligations.
The existing rates are insufficient and
do not provide adequate revenue to
cover costs due primarily to the
replacement of the aging ED2-Saguaro
line. Construction of this line started in
2015, and the costs will be spread over
a 5-year period.
A secondary factor for the rate
increase is a decrease in projected sales
of long-term firm point-to-point
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
transmission service. The provisional
rates include the reduction in the sales
forecast for 115/230-kV transmission
service over the 5-year cost evaluation
period.
Availability of Information
All brochures, studies, comments,
letters, memorandums, and other
documents that Western used to
develop the provisional rates are
available for inspection and copying at
the Desert Southwest Customer Service
Regional Office, Western Area Power
Administration, 615 South 43rd
Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85009–5313.

the monthly short-term rate.
A customer that exceeds its reserved
capacity at any point of receipt or point
of delivery, or a customer that uses
transmission service at a point of receipt
or point of delivery that it has not
reserved, is required to pay for all
ancillary services provided by the
Western Area Lower Colorado (WALC)

Public Notice and Comment
Western followed the Procedures for Public Participation in Power
and Transmission Rate Adjustments and Extensions, 10 CFR part 903, in
developing these rates. The steps Western took to involve interested
parties in the rate process were:
1. An FRN was published on July 24, 2015 (80 FR 44100) announcing
the proposed rates for transmission service, initiating a public
consultation and comment period, and setting forth the dates and
locations of public information and public comment forums.
2. On July 29, 2015, Western notified all CAP customers and
interested parties of the rate adjustment and provided a copy of the
published FRN.
3. On August 27, 2015, Western held a public information forum in
Phoenix, Arizona. Western explained the proposed rates and potential
changes to the proposed rates, answered questions, and provided
handouts.
4. On September 24, 2015, Western held a public comment forum in
Phoenix, Arizona, to give the public an opportunity to comment for the
record. There were no comments received at this forum.
5. Western created a CAP rate adjustment Web site to provide
interested parties with information about this rate adjustment process.
The Web site is located at https://www.wapa.gov/regions/DSW/Rates/Pages/central-arizona-rates.aspx
6. On October 6, 2015, Western provided answers to a list of
questions concerning the proposed rates and posted the answers on the
CAP rate adjustment Web site.
Project Description
The CAP is one of three related water development projects that
make up the Colorado River Basin Project. The others are the Dixie and
the Upper Basin projects. The CAP was developed for Arizona and western
New Mexico; the Dixie Project for southeastern Utah; and the Upper
Basin Project for Colorado and New Mexico.
[[Page 81312]]
Congress authorized the Colorado River Basin Project in 1968 to
improve water resources in the Colorado River Basin. Segments of the
1968 authorization allowed Federal participation in the Navajo
Generating Station (Navajo), which has three coal-fired steam electric
generating units with a combined capacity of 2,250 MW. Construction of
the plant, located near Lake Powell at Page, Arizona, began in 1970 and
generation began in 1976.
The 24.3 percent Federal Share of Navajo, or 546,750 kW, is used to
power the pumps that move Colorado River water through CAP canals.
Surplus generation is currently marketed under the Navajo Power
Marketing Plan adopted on Dec. 1, 1987. Surplus Navajo short-term firm
and non-firm transmission service will be marketed at the CAP 115/230-
kV transmission rate during the term of the rate schedules.
Existing and Provisional Rates
The existing rates for point-to-point transmission service consist
of a firm rate and a non-firm rate. The existing rate for firm point-
to-point transmission service under Rate Schedule CAP-FT2 is $13.56/kW-
year. The existing rate for non-firm point-to-point transmission
service under Rate Schedule CAP-NFT2 is 1.55 mills/kWh. The existing
rates under Rate Schedules CAP-FT2, CAP-NFT2, and CAP-NITS2 expire
December 31, 2015.
The provisional rates will supersede the existing rates and become
effective on an interim basis on the first day of the first full
billing period beginning on or after January 1, 2016. The provisional
rate for firm point-to-point transmission service under Rate Schedule
CAP-FT3 is $14.88/kW-year. The provisional rate for non-firm point-to-
point transmission service under Rate Schedule CAP-NFT3 is 1.70 mills/
kWh. The provisional rates will result in a rate increase of 10 percent
when compared to the existing rates. A comparison of the existing and
provisional rates for transmission service follows:
Comparison of Existing and Provisional Rates Central Arizona Project
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Provisional rates
Transmission service Existing rates (effective 1/1/16) Change
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Firm Point-to-Point..................... $13.56/kW-year............ $14.88/kW-year............ 10%
Non-firm Point-to-Point................. 1.55 mills/kWh............ 1.70 mills/kWh............ 10%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Certification of Rates
Western's Administrator certified that the provisional rates for
CAP transmission service under Rate Schedules CAP-FT3, CAP-NFT3, and
CAP-NITS3 are the lowest possible rates consistent with sound business
principles. The provisional rates were developed following
administrative policies and applicable laws.
Transmission Rate Discussion
According to Reclamation law, Western must establish rates which
provide sufficient revenue to recover annual O&M, purchase power,
transmission service and other costs, interest expense, and repay
investments. Western calculates the rates each year to determine if the
existing rates will provide adequate revenue to repay all power system
costs within the required time. Repayment criteria are based on
existing law and applicable policies, including DOE Order RA 6120.2. To
meet the cost recovery criteria outlined in DOE Order RA 6120.2, a rate
calculation was completed to demonstrate that sufficient revenues will
be collected under the provisional rates to meet future obligations.
The existing rates are insufficient and do not provide adequate
revenue to cover costs due primarily to the replacement of the aging
ED2-Saguaro line. Construction of this line started in 2015, and the
costs will be spread over a 5-year period.
A secondary factor for the rate increase is a decrease in projected
sales of long-term firm point-to-point transmission service. The
provisional rates include the reduction in the sales forecast for 115/
230-kV transmission service over the 5-year cost evaluation period.
Availability of Information
All brochures, studies, comments, letters, memorandums, and other
documents that Western used to develop the provisional rates are
available for inspection and copying at the Desert Southwest Customer
Service Regional Office, Western Area Power Administration, 615 South
43rd Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85009-5313. Many of these documents and
supporting information are available on Western's Web site at https://www.wapa.gov/regions/DSW/Rates/Pages/central-arizona-rates.aspx.

transmission service that it has not reserved or uses transmission
service in excess of its reserved capacity. Unreserved use may also
include a customer's failure to curtail transmission when requested.
The charge assessed for unreserved use is two times the maximum
allowable rate for the service at issue as follows: The penalty for a
single hour of unreserved use is based on the daily short-term rate.
The penalty for more than one assessment of unreserved use for any
given duration (e.g., daily) increases to next longest duration (e.g.,
weekly). The penalty for multiple instances of unreserved use (e.g.,
more than one hour) within a day is based on the daily short-term rate.
The penalty for multiple instances of unreserved use isolated to one
calendar week is based on the weekly short-term rate. The penalty for
multiple instances of unreserved use during more than one week in a
calendar month is based on the monthly short-term rate.
A customer that exceeds its reserved capacity at any point of
receipt or point of delivery, or a customer that uses transmission
service at a point of receipt or point of delivery that it has not
reserved, is required to pay for all ancillary services provided by the
Western Area Lower Colorado (WALC) Balancing Authority and associated
with the unreserved use. The customer will pay for ancillary services
based on the amount of transmission service used and not reserved.
