In addition, the legislation states that the Secretary shall ‘‘continue research and development investments to improve communication, coordination, and team work in the provision of health care’’. (Sec. 754, item d4). In its ongoing response to this legislation and in support of its mission to ‘‘promote a culture of safety to eliminate preventable patient harm by engaging, educating and equipping patient-care teams to institutionalize evidence-based safe practices,’’ the DoD Patient Safety Program plans to field the Department of Defense Patient Safety Culture Survey. The Culture Survey is based on the Department of Health and Human Services’ Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s validated survey instrument. The survey obtains MHS staff opinions on patient safety issues such as teamwork, communications, medical error occurrence and response, error reporting, and overall perceptions of patient safety.

ACTION: Notice concerning fiscal year 2022 Boulder Canyon Project base charge and rates for electric service. AGENCY: The Assistant Secretary for Electricity confirms, approves, and places into effect on a final basis the Boulder Canyon Project (BCP) base charge and rates for fiscal year (FY) 2022 under Rate Schedule BCP–F10. The base charge increased 2.9 percent from $65.4 million in FY 2021 to $67.4 million in FY 2022. The change is primarily the result of an increase in the Bureau of Reclamation’s (Reclamation) SUMMARY: replacement costs, an increase in the Western Area Power Administration’s (WAPA) operations and maintenance (O&M) expenses and replacement costs, and a decrease in prior year carryover funds from FY 2021. DATES: The FY 2022 base charge and rates will be effective October 1, 2021 and will remain in effect through September 30, 2022. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jack D. Murray, Acting Regional Manager, Desert Southwest Region, Western Area Power Administration, P.O. Box 6457, Phoenix, AZ 85005–6457, (602) 605– 2525, or dswpwrmrk@wapa.gov; or Tina Ramsey, Rates Manager, Desert Southwest Region, Western Area Power Administration, (602) 605–2565, or ramsey@wapa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 6, 2018, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) confirmed and approved Rate Schedule BCP–F10 under Rate Order No. WAPA–178 on a final basis through September 30, 2022.1 The rate-setting methodology for BCP calculates an annual base charge rather than a unit rate for Hoover Dam hydropower. The base charge recovers an annual revenue requirement that includes WAPA and Reclamation projected costs of investment repayment, interest, O&M, replacements, payments to states, and Hoover Dam visitor services. Non-power revenue projections such as water sales, Hoover Dam visitor center revenue, ancillary services, and late fees help offset these projected costs. Customers are billed a percentage of the base charge in proportion to their Hoover power allocation. Rates are calculated for comparative purposes but are not used to determine the charges for service. Rate Schedule BCP–F10 and the BCP Electric Service Contract require WAPA to determine the annual base charge and rates for the next FY before October 1 of each year. The FY 2021 BCP base charge and rates expire on September 30, 2021. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 COMPARISON OF BASE CHARGE AND RATES Base Charge ($) ..............................................................................
