Western Area Power Administration
2025 Resource Pool—Loveland Area
Projects, Final Power Allocation
Western Area Power
Administration, DOE.
ACTION: Notice of final power allocation.
AGENCY:
Western Area Power
Administration (WAPA), a Federal
Power Marketing Administration of the
Department of Energy (DOE), announces
its Loveland Area Projects (LAP) 2025
Resource Pool final power allocation.
WAPA developed the final power
allocation under the requirements of
subpart C-Power Marketing Initiative of
the Energy Planning and Management
Program (Program) Final Rule and
WAPA’s LAP 2025 Power Marketing
Initiative (2025 PMI), as published in
the Federal Register on December 30,
2013. The final power allocations are
established prior to the contractual
phase of the 2025 Resource Pool
process. Firm electric service contracts
negotiated between WAPA and eligible
allottees will permit delivery of
hydroelectric power beginning October
1, 2024, through September 30, 2054.
DATES: The LAP 2025 Resource Pool
final power allocation will become
effective September 19, 2022, and will
remain in effect through September 30,
2054.
ADDRESSES: Information about the LAP
2025 Resource Pool allocation
procedures, including correspondence
and supporting documents, is available
for public inspection and copying at the
Rocky Mountain Region office, Western
Area Power Administration, 5555 East
Crossroads Boulevard, Loveland, CO.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 2025
PMI, as published in the Federal
Register December 30, 2013 (78 FR
79444), provides the basis for marketing
the LAP long-term firm hydroelectric
resource beginning October 1, 2024,
through September 30, 2054. The 2025
PMI established three resource pools
available for reallocation to eligible new
preference entities. Reallocations will
occur at the beginning of the October 1,
2024, contract term and again every 10
years thereafter on October 1, 2034, and
October 1, 2044. Each resource pool
contains up to one percent of the

marketable resource under contract at
that time.
WAPA notified the public of the 2025
Resource Pool allocation procedures,
including the General Eligibility
Criteria, and called for applications in
the Federal Register on September 20,
2021 (86 FR 52145). It then published
its 2025 Resource Pool, Loveland Area
Projects, Proposed Power Allocation
and initiated a public comment period
in the Federal Register (87 FR 24555,
April 26, 2022). A public information
and comment forum on the proposed
power allocation was held at 1:30 p.m.,
MDT, on May 23, 2022. Public
comments were due to WAPA by 4:00
p.m., MDT, on June 10, 2022. There
were no comments received during the
public comment period. WAPA is now
finalizing the proposed power
allocations with publication of this
notice in the Federal Register.
2025 Resource Pool Resources
WAPA will allocate up to one percent
of the LAP long-term firm hydroelectric
resource available as of October 1, 2024.
The amount of the resource that will
become available on October 1, 2024, is
approximately 6.9 megawatts (MW) for
the summer season and 6.1 MW for the
winter season. The 2025 Resource Pool
will be created by reducing existing
customers’ firm electric service
allocations by up to one percent.
Final Power Allocation
In response to WAPA’s allocation
procedures and call for applications (86
FR 52145), WAPA received 13
applications for the 2025 Resource Pool,
by the due date of November 15, 2021.
Of the applications received by the due
date, WAPA determined that one
applicant did not meet the 2025
Resource Pool General Eligibility
Criteria and was therefore ineligible to
receive an allocation. After the
application due date, WAPA learned
that the Town of Basin, Wyoming
(Basin), faxed its Applicant Profile Data
(APD) form application to WAPA on
November 10, 2021. Basin’s APD form
was not successfully received by
WAPA, and WAPA was unaware that
Basin submitted an application. Basin
resubmitted its APD form to WAPA on
May 5, 2022. WAPA reviewed Basin’s
APD form but determined that Basin did
not meet the 2025 Resource Pool
General Eligibility Criteria and was
therefore ineligible to receive an
allocation.
The resource pool will be allocated
proportionately by season to 12
qualified allottees based on average
seasonal load for calendar year 2020.
The final power allocations for the 12

qualified allottees, shown in the table
below, are based on the LAP marketable
resource currently available and are
subject to the minimum allocation (100
kilowatts) and maximum allocation
(5,000 kilowatts) criteria. If the LAP
marketable resource is adjusted in the
future, all allocations may be adjusted
accordingly.

All 12 qualified allottees reside
beyond the boundary of WAPA’s LAP
transmission system. As a result,
delivery of the allocation will require
each allottee to obtain additional
transmission arrangements, acceptable
to WAPA, for delivery of the proposed
power allocation to the allottee’s point
of delivery. By June 1, 2024, each
allottee must have firm delivery
arrangements in place to be effective
October 1, 2024, unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by WAPA. WAPA
must receive a letter of commitment
from each allottee’s serving utility or
transmission provider by June 1, 2024,
confirming that the allottee has secured
the necessary transmission
arrangements. If WAPA does not receive
a commitment letter by June 1, 2024,
unless otherwise agreed in writing by
WAPA, WAPA will withdraw its offer of
a power allocation.
Any long-term LAP firm electric
service contract offered by WAPA to an
allottee shall be executed by the allottee
by December 31, 2022, unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by WAPA. Allottees
which are a member of a member-based
organization and elect to temporarily
assign their allocation to the memberbased organization, will be required to
execute WAPA’s assignment agreement,
in lieu of a LAP long-term firm electric
service contract, by December 31, 2022,
unless otherwise agreed to in writing by
WAPA.

process. Firm electric service contracts negotiated between WAPA and
eligible allottees will permit delivery of hydroelectric power
beginning October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2054.
DATES: The LAP 2025 Resource Pool final power allocation will become
effective September 19, 2022, and will remain in effect through
September 30, 2054.
ADDRESSES: Information about the LAP 2025 Resource Pool allocation
procedures, including correspondence and supporting documents, is
available for public inspection and copying at the Rocky Mountain
Region office, Western Area Power Administration, 5555 East Crossroads
Boulevard, Loveland, CO.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 2025 PMI, as published in the Federal
Register December 30, 2013 (78 FR 79444), provides the basis for
marketing the LAP long-term firm hydroelectric resource beginning
October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2054. The 2025 PMI established
three resource pools available for reallocation to eligible new
preference entities. Reallocations will occur at the beginning of the
October 1, 2024, contract term and again every 10 years thereafter on
October 1, 2034, and October 1, 2044. Each resource pool contains up to
one percent of the marketable resource under contract at that time.
WAPA notified the public of the 2025 Resource Pool allocation
procedures, including the General Eligibility Criteria, and called for
applications in the Federal Register on September 20, 2021 (86 FR
52145). It then published its 2025 Resource Pool, Loveland Area
Projects, Proposed Power Allocation and initiated a public comment
period in the Federal Register (87 FR 24555, April 26, 2022). A public
information and comment forum on the proposed power allocation was held
at 1:30 p.m., MDT, on May 23, 2022. Public comments were due to WAPA by
4:00 p.m., MDT, on June 10, 2022. There were no comments received
during the public comment period. WAPA is now finalizing the proposed
power allocations with publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
2025 Resource Pool Resources
WAPA will allocate up to one percent of the LAP long-term firm
hydroelectric resource available as of October 1, 2024. The amount of
the resource that will become available on October 1, 2024, is
approximately 6.9 megawatts (MW) for the summer season and 6.1 MW for
the winter season. The 2025 Resource Pool will be created by reducing
existing customers' firm electric service allocations by up to one
percent.
Final Power Allocation
In response to WAPA's allocation procedures and call for
applications (86 FR 52145), WAPA received 13 applications for the 2025
Resource Pool, by the due date of November 15, 2021. Of the
applications received by the due date, WAPA determined that one
applicant did not meet the 2025 Resource Pool General Eligibility
Criteria and was therefore ineligible to receive an allocation. After
the application due date, WAPA learned that the Town of Basin, Wyoming
(Basin), faxed its Applicant Profile Data (APD) form application to
WAPA on November 10, 2021. Basin's APD form was not successfully
received by WAPA, and WAPA was unaware that Basin submitted an
application. Basin resubmitted its APD form to WAPA on May 5, 2022.
WAPA reviewed Basin's APD form but determined that Basin did not meet
the 2025 Resource Pool General Eligibility Criteria and was therefore
ineligible to receive an allocation.
The resource pool will be allocated proportionately by season to 12
qualified allottees based on average seasonal load for calendar year
2020. The final power allocations for the 12
[[Page 50854]]
qualified allottees, shown in the table below, are based on the LAP
marketable resource currently available and are subject to the minimum
allocation (100 kilowatts) and maximum allocation (5,000 kilowatts)
criteria. If the LAP marketable resource is adjusted in the future, all
allocations may be adjusted accordingly.

Any long-term LAP firm electric service contract offered by WAPA to
an allottee shall be executed by the allottee by December 31, 2022,
unless otherwise agreed to in writing by WAPA. Allottees which are a
member of a member-based organization and elect to temporarily assign
their allocation to the member-based organization, will be required to
execute WAPA's assignment agreement, in lieu of a LAP long-term firm
electric service contract, by December 31, 2022, unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by WAPA.
