interconnected power producers,
including clean, renewable energy
resources.
WAPA’s Desert Southwest Region,
based in Phoenix, Arizona, operates and
maintains more than 3,100 miles of
transmission lines and facilities in
Arizona, California, and Nevada.
WAPA’s transmission system in Nevada
includes Mead Substation, a facility of
the southern portion of the Pacific
Northwest-Pacific Southwest Intertie
Project (Intertie) and an important
trading hub for wholesale power which
offers access to multiple markets
throughout the western United States.
The Intertie was authorized by Section
8 of the Pacific Northwest Power
Marketing Act of August 31, 1964.1 The
basic purpose of the Intertie was to
provide, through transmission system
interconnections among certain Federal
and non-Federal power systems,
maximum use of power resources to
meet growing demands. WAPA also
operates and maintains transmission
system assets in the area of Boulder
City, Nevada pursuant to its ParkerDavis Project legislative authorities.2
Finally, WAPA has statutory authority
under its Transmission Infrastructure
Program (TIP) to borrow up to $3.25
billion from the Department of the
Treasury for the purpose of (1)
constructing, financing, facilitating,
planning, operating, maintaining, or
studying construction of new or
upgraded electric power transmission
lines and related facilities with at least
one terminus within WAPA’s service
territory, and (2) delivering or
facilitating the delivery of power
generated by renewable energy
resources constructed or reasonably
expected to be constructed.3
Transmission capacity in the area of
Boulder City, Nevada, is congested due
to high demand and WAPA seeks to
reduce that congestion by increasing
transmission capacity. In this notice,
WAPA solicits SOIs to allow WAPA to

consolidating two projects, Parker Dam and Davis
Dam, under terms of the Consolidate Parker Dam
Power Project and Davis Dam Project Act on May
28, 1954. Public Law 83–373.
3 WAPA’s Transmission Infrastructure Program
(TIP) implements Section 301 of the Hoover Power
Plant Act of 1984 (42 U.S.C. 16421a). For each TIP
project in which WAPA participates, the WAPA
Administrator must certify, prior to committing any
funds for the project, that the project is in the public
interest, the project will not adversely impact
system reliability or operations or other statutory
obligations, and it is reasonable to expect the
proceeds from the project shall be adequate to repay
the loan. TIP’s principles, policies, and practices
were announced May 14, 2009 (74 FR 22732), and
subsequently revised April 7, 2014 (79 FR 19065)
and August 23, 2021 (86 FR 47099).

determine the level of interest for
actions that could reduce congestion
and facilitate the interconnection and/or
transmittal of energy, including
renewable generation, in its
transmission system in southern
Nevada. Specifically, WAPA is
soliciting SOIs from entities that are
interested in (1) participating with
WAPA in upgrading or constructing
new facilities for WAPA’s transmission
system, including Mead Substation, in
the area of Boulder City, Nevada, and/
or (2) taking transmission service from
or interconnecting to such upgraded or
newly constructed transmission
facilities.
SOIs submitted with respect to this
notice should include the following
information, as applicable:
1. Name and general description of
the entity submitting the SOI.
2. Name, mailing address, telephone
number, and email address of the
entity’s primary contact for the SOI.
3. A description of (a) the entity’s
interest in upgrading or constructing
new transmission facilities in the area of
Boulder City, Nevada and/or taking
service on or interconnecting to such
facilities; (b) information about the
energy resource(s) associated with the
entity’s interest, including, but not
necessarily limited to, type of resource,
the general location, expected resource
capacity, and estimated commercial
operation date; and (c) an overview of
any proposed upgraded or new
transmission facilities, including
location, routing, and minimum transfer
capability.
4. Statement of potential financing
sources, including, if applicable,
interest in financing through WAPA’s
TIP.
5. Description of the proposed role
that the submitting entity may serve in
the development, construction,
ownership, operation, and maintenance
of the facilities.
6. Any other information that the
submitting entity thinks would be
useful for consideration as part of its
SOI.
An expression of interest made by
submitting a SOI is not binding or
promissory. WAPA will treat data
submitted by entities in this process,
including financing arrangements with
other parties, in accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). If
submitting entities seek confidential
treatment of all or part of a submitted
document under the FOIA exemption
for confidential business information,
they should appropriately mark such
documents and WAPA will consider
such markings in the event a FOIA
request is received.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR)
was published in the Federal Register
(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of
title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR
establishes electronic reporting as an
acceptable regulatory alternative to
paper reporting and establishes
requirements to assure that electronic
documents are as legally dependable as
their paper counterparts. Subpart D of
CROMERR requires that state, tribal or
local government agencies that receive,
or wish to begin receiving, electronic
reports under their EPA-authorized
programs must apply to EPA for a
revision or modification of those
programs and obtain EPA approval.
Subpart D provides standards for such
approvals based on consideration of the
electronic document receiving systems
that the state, tribe, or local government
will use to implement the electronic
reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b)
through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D
provides special procedures for program
revisions and modifications to allow
electronic reporting, to be used at the
option of the state, tribe or local
government in place of procedures
available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An
application submitted under the subpart
D procedures must show that the state,
tribe or local government has sufficient
legal authority to implement the
electronic reporting components of the
programs covered by the application
and will use electronic document
receiving systems that meet the
applicable subpart D requirements.
On June 23, 2022, the Mississippi
Department of Environmental Quality
(MDEQ) submitted an application titled
National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic
