ACTION: Notice of Intention to begin a public process. AGENCY: Pursuant to its Procedure for Public Participation in the Formulation of Marketing Policy, published in the Federal Register of July 6, 1978, Southeastern Power Administration (Southeastern) intends to revise its marketing policy by including provisions regarding renewable energy certificates from its Kerr-Philpott System of Projects. The current power marketing policy was published on July 29, 1985, for the Southeastern KerrPhilpott System and is reflected in contracts for the sale of system power, which are maintained in Southeastern’s headquarters office. Southeastern solicits written comments and proposals in formulating the proposed marketing policy revision. DATES: Comments and proposals must be submitted on or before January 14, 2020. SUMMARY: Written comments or proposals should be submitted to Kenneth E. Legg, Administrator, Southeastern Power Administration, 1166 Athens Tech Road, Elberton, GA 30635–6711, (706) 213–3800, Comments@sepa.doe.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leon Jourolmon IV, General Counsel, (706) 213–3800, Comments@ sepa.doe.gov. ADDRESSES: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:58 Nov 14, 2019 Jkt 250001 A ‘‘Final Power Marketing Policy Kerr-Philpott System of Projects’’ was developed and published in the Federal Register on July 29, 1985, 50 FR 30752, by Southeastern. The policy establishes the marketing area for system power and addresses the utilization of area utility systems for essential purposes. The policy also addresses wholesale rates, resale rates, and conservation measures, but does not address renewable energy certificates. Under Section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (16 U.S.C. 825s), Southeastern is responsible for the transmission and disposition of electric power and energy from reservoir projects operated by the Department of the Army. Furthermore, Southeastern must transmit and dispose of such power and energy in such manner as to encourage the most widespread use at the lowest possible rates to consumers consistent with sound business principles. Rate schedules are drawn having regard to the recovery of the cost of producing and transmitting such electric energy. The Kerr-Philpott System consists of two projects, the John H. Kerr Project and the Philpott Project. The power from the projects is currently marketed to Preference Customers located in the service areas of Dominion Energy, Duke Energy Progress, American Municipal Power, and American Electric Power. Both the John H. Kerr Project and the Philpott Project are located within the regional footprint served by the regional transmission organization PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (PJM) footprint, as are the Virginia-based Preference Customers with power allocations. Southeastern owns no transmission assets in the area of the Kerr-Philpott System and relies on PJM transmission resources to dispose of power and energy from the projects. As such, Southeastern joined PJM in 2005. As the projects are located within the PJM region and potentially satisfy Renewable Portfolio Standards in a number of states, Southeastern has subscribed to the PJM Generation Attribute Tracking System (GATS). The GATS provides an unbundled, certificates-based tracking system that reports certain operating attributes of electricity generators selling energy through the PJM Market Settlement System. The attributes are unbundled from the megawatt-hour of energy produced and recorded onto a certificate. These certificates may be used by electricity suppliers and other energy market participants to comply with relevant state policies and regulatory programs and to support SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 62519 voluntary ‘‘green’’ electricity markets. Southeastern is considering distributing the GATS-created certificates to current Preference Customers with allocations of power from the Kerr-Philpott System. Upon formulating a proposed revision to the Kerr-Philpott System marketing policy to address renewable energy certificates, Southeastern will publish the proposal in the Federal Register and begin a sixty-day comment period pursuant to its Procedures for Public Participation in the Formulation of Marketing Policy.

(Texas Eastern), in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. The Commission will use this EA in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity. This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested agencies about issues regarding the project. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could result from its action whenever it considers the issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires the Commission to discover concerns the public may have about proposals. This process is referred to as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public comments on the scope of the issues to address in E:\FR\FM\15NON1.SGM 15NON1
