On natural gas facility projects, the APE at a minimum encompasses all areas subject to ground disturbance (examples include construction right-of-way, contractor/ pipe storage yards, compressor stations, and access roads). The EIS for this project will document our findings on the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status of consultations under section 106. Environmental Mailing List The environmental mailing list includes: Federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission’s regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property may be used temporarily for project purposes, or who own homes within certain distances of aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits comments on the project. Commission staff will update the environmental mailing list as the analysis proceeds to ensure that Commission notices related to this environmental review are sent to all individuals, organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the planned project. A Notice of Availability of the draft EIS will be sent to the environmental mailing list and will provide instructions to access the electronic document on the FERC’s website (www.ferc.gov). If you need to make changes to your name/address, or if you would like to remove your name from the mailing list, please return the attached ‘‘Mailing List Update Form’’ (appendix 3).

The purpose of the conference is to discuss current cyber and physical security practices used to protect energy infrastructure and will explore how federal and state authorities can provide incentives and cost recovery for security investments in energy infrastructure, particularly the electric and natural gas sectors. The conference will address two highlevel topics. The first topic will include discussion of types of current and emerging cyber and physical security threats. Specifically, the conference will explore factors that the private sector considers when evaluating energy infrastructure security threats and vulnerabilities, as well as the availability of resources and challenges associated with evaluating these issues. In addition, the conference will discuss cyber and physical security best practices and mitigation strategies. The second topic will center on how federal and state authorities can facilitate investments to improve the cyber and physical security of energy infrastructure. The conference will concentrate on federal and state authorities’ current cost recovery policies. In addition, this panel will also look at how security investments are presently incentivized and what type of incentives would be most effective to facilitate security investment (e.g., accelerated depreciation, adders to return on equity, etc.).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background WAPA published the final 2025 Power Marketing Plan (Marketing Plan) on August 15, 2017, (82 FR 38675) to define how WAPA will market hydropower from the Central Valley and Washoe projects beginning January 1, 2025, and ending December 31, 2054. The current marketing plan and contracts expire on December 31, 2024. As part of the final Marketing Plan, WAPA will withdraw 2 percent of the existing marketable resource from existing customers, also known as Base Resource, to create a resource pool. The 2-percent resource pool will be offered to eligible preference entities that do not currently have an allocation and existing eligible preference customers. The Call for 2025 Resource Pool Applications was published in the Federal Register on March 8, 2018 (83 FR 9851), and applications were due by May 7, 2018. On July 13, 2018, WAPA extended the deadline to file applications to August 13, 2018 (83 FR 32664). Proposed 2025 Resource Pool Allocations WAPA received applications for the 2025 Resource Pool from 29 existing customers and 8 applications from new eligible preference entities. WAPA used a two-step process to determine proposed power allocations from the 2025 Resource Pool. First, WAPA determined which applicants met the eligibility criteria. Next, WAPA used its discretion to determine which eligible entities would receive a proposed allocation and the amount of the proposed allocation. The proposed 2025 Resource Pool allocations are preliminary and may change based on comments received. After reviewing the comments, WAPA will publish a notice of Final 2025 Resource Pool Allocations in the Federal Register and respond to comments. The proposed 2025 Resource Pool allottees, percentage of the Base Resource, and the estimated megawatthours (MWh) of each allocation are listed below. The estimated MWh for each allocation assumes an estimated average annual Base Resource of 3,342,000 MWh and is rounded to the nearest MWh.
