Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 112 / Tuesday, June 13, 2017 / Notices FERC on a final basis on January 9, 2014, for a period that ends September 30, 2017. Since the current Integrated System Rate Schedules were first placed in effect, there has been one change. A specific section (2.3.6) within NonFederal Transmission Service (NFTS) rate schedule NFTS–13 was added to replace the stated-rate for customers taking Southwest Power Pool (SPP) Network Integration Transmission Service (NITS) with a revenuerequirement based methodology that includes determining the SPP NITS Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR) portion of Southwestern’s NFTS ARR. The rate schedule was re-designated NFTS–13A to reflect the change to the initial rate schedule. This rate schedule change was placed in effect on an interim basis by the Deputy Secretary of Energy effective January 1, 2017, and confirmed and approved on a final basis by the FERC on March 9, 2017, under docket EF14–1–001. This revision had no impact on the revenue requirements for Southwestern’s Integrated System. No change was made to the original expiration date, September 30, 2017. The Administrator will review and consider all written comments and the information gathered when submitting the finalized Integrated System Rate Schedules Extension to the Deputy Secretary of Energy for confirmation and approval on an interim basis. Dated: May 31, 2017. Scott Carpenter, Administrator.
