DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES DEPUTY SECRETARY In the Matter of: Southeastern Power Administration Georgia-Alabama-South Carolina System Power Rates Rate Order No. SEPA–62 Order Confirming and Approving Power Rates on an Interim Basis Pursuant to Sections 302(a) of the Department of Energy Organization Act, Public Law 95–91, the functions of the Secretary of the Interior and the Federal Power Commission under Section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944, 16 U.S.C. 825s, relating to the Southeastern Power Administration (Southeastern), were transferred to and vested in the Secretary of Energy. By Delegation Order No. 00–037.00B, effective November 19, 2016, the Secretary of Energy delegated to Southeastern’s Administrator the authority to develop power and transmission rates, to the Deputy Secretary of Energy the authority to confirm, approve, and place in effect such rates on interim basis, and to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) the authority to confirm, approve, and place into effect on a final basis or to disapprove rates developed by the Administrator under the delegation. This rate order is issued by the Deputy Secretary pursuant to said delegation. Background Power from the Georgia-AlabamaSouth Carolina Projects is presently sold under Wholesale Power Rate Schedules SOCO–1–E, SOCO–2–E, SOCO–3–E, SOCO–4–E, ALA–1–N, MISS–1–N, Duke–1–E, Duke–2–E, Duke–3–E, Duke– VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:54 Aug 30, 2017 Jkt 241001 4–E, Santee–1–E, Santee–2–E, Santee– 3–E, Santee–4–E, SCE&G–1–E, SCE&G– 2–E, SCE&G–3–E, SCE&G–4–E, Pump– 1–A, Pump–2, Replacement–1, and Regulation–1. These rate schedules were approved by the FERC in docket number EF12–4–000 on April 2, 2013, for a period ending September 30, 2017 (143 FERC ¶ 62,002). Public Notice and Comment Notice of a proposed rate adjustment was published in the Federal Register April 6, 2017 (82 FR 16828). The notice advised interested parties of a proposed reduction in the capacity rates of about fifteen percent (15%). The proposed reduction in the revenue requirement was about nine percent (9%). The energy rate was to be extended. A public information and comment forum was held May 9, 2017, in Savannah, Georgia. Written comments were accepted through July 5, 2017. Comments were received from two parties at the forum. Written comments were received from two interested parties. Comments received from interested parties are summarized below. Southeastern’s response follows each comment. Comment 1: If the previous historical rainfall patterns return during the term of the proposed rates, SEPA will likely over-recover. We encourage SEPA to carefully monitor the results each year to ensure [the conservative average energy estimate] does not lead to sustained over-recovery. Response 1: Southeastern uses the best available estimates to prepare a rate study used to support a rate adjustment. Southeastern updates the repayment studies for each of its four systems annually to monitor repayment. By law, Southeastern is required to recover the cost of each system. The term of the rate schedules can be no more than five years. Should the annual update of the repayment study reveal cost recovery is unduly accelerated, Southeastern may file a rate adjustment before the term of these rate schedules expire. Comment 2: The SeFPC notes that the implementation of newly adopted Water Control Manuals (‘‘WCM’’) for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (‘‘ACF’’) and Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa (‘‘ACT’’) river basins may change operations of the projects that provide the power marketed to customers of the GA-AL-SC system of projects. Because of potential changes in the operation of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (‘‘Corps’’) projects, we encourage SEPA to consider whether the anticipated changes associated with the WCMs will have an impact on the underlying revenue requirement. PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Response 2: Southeastern will monitor the potential changes in the operations of the projects to ensure the changes do not impact cost recovery without appropriate adjustments to protect power customers. Comment 3: The SeFPC encourages SEPA to continue conversations with Corps representatives to review cost allocations for the multi-purpose projects which support the generation of power. Response 3: Southeastern continues to discuss with Corps representatives appropriate review of cost allocations for Southeastern’s projects. Comment 4: The SeFPC asks SEPA to re-examine the cost associated with the installation of a secant wall at the Walter F. George project. SEPA’s jurisdiction and authority to set rates for hydropower customers should be exercised as appropriate to ensure that the rates are as low as possible consistent with sound business principles. Response 4: Southeastern is continuing discussions with the Corps regarding whether repairs to the Walter F. George secant wall qualify as modifications due to changes in state-ofthe-art design or construction criteria deemed necessary for safety purposes. If so, the costs associated with the secant wall would be limited as to recovery under the Dam Safety Act. 33 U.S.C. 467n. The General Accounting Office (GAO) has recommended that the Corps clarify policy guidance on the usage of the state-of-the-art provision. (See https://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-16106.) Southeastern is awaiting the Corps’ response to the GAO report before taking further action. Discussion System Repayment An examination of Southeastern’s revised system power repayment study, prepared in July 2017, for the GeorgiaAlabama-South Carolina System shows that with the proposed rates, all system power costs are paid within the appropriate repayment period required by existing law and DOE Order RA 6120.2. The Administrator of Southeastern Power Administration has certified that the rates are consistent with applicable law and that they are the lowest possible rates to customers consistent with sound business principles. Environmental Impact Southeastern has reviewed the possible environmental impacts of the rate adjustment under consideration and has concluded that, because the E:\FR\FM\31AUN1.SGM 31AUN1 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 168 / Thursday, August 31, 2017 / Notices adjusted rates would not significantly affect the quality of the human environment within the meaning of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the proposed action is not a major Federal action for which preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement is required. Availability of Information Information regarding these rates, including studies and other supporting materials and transcripts of the public information and comment forum, is available for public review in the offices of Southeastern Power Administration, 1166 Athens Tech Road, Elberton, Georgia 30635, and in the Power Marketing Liaison Office, James Forrestal Building, 1000 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20585.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

DEPUTY SECRETARY

In the Matter of:

Southeastern Power Administration
Georgia-Alabama-South Carolina System Power Rates
Rate Order No. SEPA-62

Order Confirming and Approving Power Rates on an Interim Basis

Pursuant to Sections 302(a) of the Department of Energy
Organization Act, Public Law 95-91, the functions of the Secretary of
the Interior and the Federal Power Commission under Section 5 of the
Flood Control Act of 1944, 16 U.S.C. 825s, relating to the Southeastern
Power Administration (Southeastern), were transferred to and vested in
the Secretary of Energy. By Delegation Order No. 00-037.00B, effective
November 19, 2016, the Secretary of Energy delegated to Southeastern's
Administrator the authority to develop power and transmission rates, to
the Deputy Secretary of Energy the authority to confirm, approve, and
place in effect such rates on interim basis, and to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) the authority to confirm, approve, and
place into effect on a final basis or to disapprove rates developed by
the Administrator under the delegation. This rate order is issued by
the Deputy Secretary pursuant to said delegation.

Background

Power from the Georgia-Alabama-South Carolina Projects is presently
sold under Wholesale Power Rate Schedules SOCO-1-E, SOCO-2-E, SOCO-3-E,
SOCO-4-E, ALA-1-N, MISS-1-N, Duke-1-E, Duke-2-E, Duke-3-E, Duke-4-E,
Santee-1-E, Santee-2-E, Santee-3-E, Santee-4-E, SCE&G-1-E, SCE&G-2-E,
SCE&G-3-E, SCE&G-4-E, Pump-1-A, Pump-2, Replacement-1, and Regulation-
1. These rate schedules were approved by the FERC in docket number
EF12-4-000 on April 2, 2013, for a period ending September 30, 2017
(143 FERC ] 62,002).

Public Notice and Comment

Notice of a proposed rate adjustment was published in the Federal
Register April 6, 2017 (82 FR 16828). The notice advised interested
parties of a proposed reduction in the capacity rates of about fifteen
percent (15%). The proposed reduction in the revenue requirement was
about nine percent (9%). The energy rate was to be extended. A public
information and comment forum was held May 9, 2017, in Savannah,
Georgia. Written comments were accepted through July 5, 2017. Comments
were received from two parties at the forum. Written comments were
received from two interested parties.
Comments received from interested parties are summarized below.
Southeastern's response follows each comment.
Comment 1: If the previous historical rainfall patterns return
during the term of the proposed rates, SEPA will likely over-recover.
We encourage SEPA to carefully monitor the results each year to ensure
[the conservative average energy estimate] does not lead to sustained
over-recovery.
Response 1: Southeastern uses the best available estimates to
prepare a rate study used to support a rate adjustment. Southeastern
updates the repayment studies for each of its four systems annually to
monitor repayment. By law, Southeastern is required to recover the cost
of each system. The term of the rate schedules can be no more than five
years. Should the annual update of the repayment study reveal cost
recovery is unduly accelerated, Southeastern may file a rate adjustment
before the term of these rate schedules expire.
Comment 2: The SeFPC notes that the implementation of newly adopted
Water Control Manuals (``WCM'') for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-
Flint (``ACF'') and Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa (``ACT'') river basins may
change operations of the projects that provide the power marketed to
customers of the GA-AL-SC system of projects. Because of potential
changes in the operation of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
(``Corps'') projects, we encourage SEPA to consider whether the
anticipated changes associated with the WCMs will have an impact on the
underlying revenue requirement.
Response 2: Southeastern will monitor the potential changes in the
operations of the projects to ensure the changes do not impact cost
recovery without appropriate adjustments to protect power customers.
Comment 3: The SeFPC encourages SEPA to continue conversations with
Corps representatives to review cost allocations for the multi-purpose
projects which support the generation of power.
Response 3: Southeastern continues to discuss with Corps
representatives appropriate review of cost allocations for
Southeastern's projects.
Comment 4: The SeFPC asks SEPA to re-examine the cost associated
with the installation of a secant wall at the Walter F. George project.
SEPA's jurisdiction and authority to set rates for hydropower customers
should be exercised as appropriate to ensure that the rates are as low
as possible consistent with sound business principles.
Response 4: Southeastern is continuing discussions with the Corps
regarding whether repairs to the Walter F. George secant wall qualify
as modifications due to changes in state-of-the-art design or
construction criteria deemed necessary for safety purposes. If so, the
costs associated with the secant wall would be limited as to recovery
under the Dam Safety Act. 33 U.S.C. 467n. The General Accounting Office
(GAO) has recommended that the Corps clarify policy guidance on the
usage of the state-of-the-art provision. (See https://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-16-106.) Southeastern is awaiting the Corps' response to
the GAO report before taking further action.

Discussion

System Repayment

An examination of Southeastern's revised system power repayment
study, prepared in July 2017, for the Georgia-Alabama-South Carolina
System shows that with the proposed rates, all system power costs are
paid within the appropriate repayment period required by existing law
and DOE Order RA 6120.2. The Administrator of Southeastern Power
Administration has certified that the rates are consistent with
applicable law and that they are the lowest possible rates to customers
consistent with sound business principles.

Environmental Impact

Southeastern has reviewed the possible environmental impacts of the
rate adjustment under consideration and has concluded that, because the

[[Page 41403]]

adjusted rates would not significantly affect the quality of the human
environment within the meaning of the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969, the proposed action is not a major Federal action for which
preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement is required.

Availability of Information

Information regarding these rates, including studies and other
supporting materials and transcripts of the public information and
comment forum, is available for public review in the offices of
Southeastern Power Administration, 1166 Athens Tech Road, Elberton,
Georgia 30635, and in the Power Marketing Liaison Office, James
Forrestal Building, 1000 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20585.

ORDER

In view of the foregoing and pursuant to the authority delegated to
me by the Secretary of Energy, I hereby confirm and approve on an
interim basis, effective October 1, 2017, attached Wholesale Power Rate
Schedules SOCO-1-F, SOCO-2-F, SOCO-3-F, SOCO-4-F, ALA-1-O, Duke-1-F,
