Billing Procedures for Annual Charges
for Recompensing the United States
for the Use, Occupancy, and
Enjoyment of Federal Lands; Notice of
Statement of Annual Charges for the
Use of Government Lands for Fiscal
Year 2016
By this notice, the Commission states
that in accordance to the Final Rule
issued on January 17, 2013 1 the federal
lands fee schedule of per-acre rates have
been calculated for Fiscal Years (FY)
2016 through 2020. Pursuant to the
Final Rule, the Commission recalculates the federal lands fee schedule
every five years by using the per-acre
land values published in the National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
Census. The Commission established
the FY 2016 through FY 2020 federal
lands fee schedule based on data
published in the 2012 NASS Census. In
addition, the Commission determines a
state-specific reduction that removes the
value of irrigated lands on a state-bystate basis, plus a seven percent
reduction to remove the value of
buildings. An encumbrance factor of 50

percent along with a rate of return of
5.77 percent are calculated with the peracre land values less the state-specific
reduction to derive at the individual
state/county per-acre federal land rates
assessed to hydropower projects.
The FY 2016 federal lands fee
schedule rates have significantly
increased in comparison to the FY 2015
federal lands fee schedule rates issued
on January 8, 2015 for a number of
hydropower projects located in multiple
states/counties. In particular,
hydropower projects located in the
Kenai Peninsula Area of Alaska land
rates increased by 71 percent in
comparison to land rates assessed in FY
2015. The FY 2016 increase of per-acre
land rates was mainly attributed to the
increase of per-acre land and building
values published in the 2012 NASS
Census. The per-acre land value for land
in the Kenai Peninsula Area was
increased from $1,328 in the 2007 NASS
Census to $2,423 in the 2012 NASS
Census. This increase along with
factoring in the state-specific reduction,
the 50 percent encumbrance factor, and
the 5.77 percent rate of return ultimately
resulted in a 71 percent increase of peracre land rates assessed to hydropower
projects located in the Kenai Peninsula
Area. In addition, per-acre land values
for San Bernardino County located in
California, Boulder and Clear Creek
Counties located in Colorado, and
Blaine County located in Idaho all
significantly increased as a result of the
2012 published NASS Census.
Conversely, the FY 2016 federal lands
fee schedule rates have significantly
decreased in comparison to the FY 2015
federal lands fee schedule rates issued
on January 8, 2015 for a number of
hydropower projects located in other
locations as a result of the decreased
per-acre land values published in the
2012 NASS Census. Specifically
hydropower projects occupying federal
lands in Alpine, Lake, and Riverside
Counties located in California, Aleutian
Islands Area located in Alaska, and
Grays Harbor County located in
Washington will receive as much as a 37
percent decrease in comparison to the
federal lands annual charges issued in
FY 2015.

this notice, please contact Steven
Bromberek at (202) 502–8001 or Norman

In an order dated November 24,
2015,1 the Commission found that the
assignment of cost allocation for the
projects in the filings and complaints
listed in the caption using PJM’s
solution-based distribution factor
(DFAX) cost allocation method had not
been shown to be just and reasonable
and may be unjust, unreasonable, or
unduly discriminatory or preferential.
The Commission directed its staff to
establish a technical conference to
explore both whether there is a
definable category of reliability projects
within PJM for which the solution-based
DFAX cost allocation method may not
be just and reasonable, such as projects
addressing reliability violations that are
not related to flow on the planned
transmission facility, and whether an
alternative just and reasonable ex ante
cost allocation method could be
established for any such category of
projects.
The technical conference was held on
January 12, 2016. At the technical
conference, staff indicated that it would
establish a schedule for post-technical
conference comments after reviewing
the technical conference transcript. On
February 9, 2016 a technical conference
transcript was place in the abovereferenced dockets, and a post-technical
conference comment schedule was
established. On February 18, 2016, an
errata transcript of the February 9, 2016
transcript was placed in the dockets.
The schedule for post-technical
conference comments is revised
accordingly.
Post-technical conference comments,
not to exceed 20 pages, are due on or
before March 9, 2016.
