Proposed CERCLA Administrative Cashout Settlement; S.C. Breen Construction Company, 53811-53812 [2020-19081]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 169 / Monday, August 31, 2020 / Notices on the proposed base charge adjustment consistent with the procedures for public participation in rate adjustments as required under 10 CFR 904.7(e) and the BCP Electric Service Contract. The BCP Electric Service Contract goes on to state that in years other than the first and fifth years of a rate schedule approved by the Deputy Secretary on a provisional basis and by FERC on a final basis, adjustments to the base charge ‘‘shall be effective upon approval by the Deputy Secretary of Energy.’’ Under the Department of Energy Organization Act, the Secretary of Energy holds plenary authority over Department of Energy affairs with respect to the Power Marketing Administrations, and the Secretary of Energy may therefore exercise the Deputy Secretary’s contractual authority in this context. By Delegation Order No. 00–002.00S, effective January 15, 2020, the Secretary of Energy delegated to the Under Secretary of Energy the authority vested in the Secretary with respect to WAPA. By Redelegation Order No. 00–002.10E, effective February 14, 2020, the Under Secretary of Energy delegated to the Assistant Secretary for Electricity the same authority with respect to WAPA. By Redelegation Order No. 00–002.10– 5, effective July 8, 2020, the Assistant Secretary for Electricity delegated to WAPA’s Administrator the same authority with respect to WAPA. However, based upon the governing terms of existing BCP Electric Service Contract, the Assistant Secretary for Electricity is approving the FY 2021 base charge and rates for BCP electric service. This rate action is issued under the Redelegation Orders and Department of Energy (DOE) procedures for public participation in rate adjustments set forth at 10 CFR part 903 and 10 CFR part 904.3 Following DOE’s review of WAPA’s proposal, and as authorized by applicable provisions of the BCP Electric Service Contract, I hereby confirm, approve, and place the FY 2021 base charge and rates for BCP electric service, under Rate Schedule BCP–F10, into effect on a final basis through September 30, 2021. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Ratemaking Procedure Requirements Environmental Compliance In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321–4347; the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for implementing NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508); and DOE NEPA Implementing Procedures and 3 50 FR 37835 (Sept. 18, 1985); 85 FR 19144 (Apr. 6, 2020). VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:30 Aug 28, 2020 Jkt 250001 Guidelines (10 CFR part 1021), WAPA has determined that this action is categorically excluded from preparing an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement. Determination Under Executive Order 12866 WAPA has an exemption from centralized regulatory review under Executive Order 12866; accordingly, no clearance of this notice by the Office of Management and Budget is required. Signing Authority This document of the Department of Energy was signed on August 24, 2020, by Bruce J. Walker, Assistant Secretary, Office of Electricity, pursuant to delegated authority from the Secretary of Energy. That document, with the original signature and date, is maintained by DOE.
