WAPA’s Administrator approved the use of existing Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest Intertie Project rates under his authority to set rates for short-term sales to cover the period between May 1, 2018 and October 31, 2018. On December 3, 2018, FERC approved and confirmed the extension of Rate Schedules INT–FT5 and INT–NFT4 under Rate Order No. WAPA–181 through September 30, 2020.5 The existing rates provide adequate revenue to recover annual expenses, including interest expense, and repay capital investments within allowable time periods. This ensures repayment within the cost recovery criteria set forth in DOE Order RA 6120.2. Discussion In accordance with 10 CFR 903.23(a), WAPA filed a notice in the Federal Register on June 22, 2020, proposing to extend, without adjustment, Rate Schedules INT–FT5 and INT–NFT4 under Rate Order No. WAPA–192.6 WAPA determined it was not necessary to hold public information or public comment forums on the proposed transmission service rates extension but provided a 30-day consultation and comment period to give the public an opportunity to comment on the proposed extension. The consultation and comment period ended on July 22, 2020, and WAPA received no comments on the proposed transmission service rates extension. jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES Submission to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission The provisional transmission service rates herein confirmed, approved, and placed into effect on an interim basis, together with supporting documents, will be submitted to FERC for confirmation and final approval. 3 50 FR 37835 (Sept. 18, 1985) and 84 FR 5347 (Feb. 21, 2019). 4 Order Confirming and Approving Rate Schedule on a Final Basis, FERC Docket No. EF13–4–000, 144 FERC ¶ 61,143 (2013). 5 Order Confirming and Approving Rate Schedule on a Final Basis, FERC Docket No. EF18–5–000, 165 FERC ¶ 62,137 (2018). 6 85 FR 37450 (Jun. 22, 2020).
