for distributing, monitoring and
providing technical assistance to states
and grantees on the use of federal funds.
EAC/OGM also reports on how the
funds are spent to Congress, negotiates
indirect cost rates with grantees, and
resolves audit findings on the use of
HAVA funds.
The EAC Progress Report has been
developed for both interim and final
progress reports for grants issued under
HAVA authority. This revised format
builds upon that report for the various
grant awards given by EAC and provides
terminology clarification. The Progress
Report will directly benefit award
recipients by making it easier for them
to administer federal grant and
cooperative agreement programs

generating facilities under limited
circumstances as described further in
this section. ERCOT is the independent
system operator for over 26 million
people in Texas (ERCOT Region). The
State of Texas experienced a sustained
heat wave that resulted in abnormally
high electric demand. Because the
additional generation required to serve
the ERCOT Region was anticipated to
result in a conflict with environmental
standards and requirements, DOE
authorized only the necessary
additional generation for ERCOT to
sufficiently supply the amount of energy
needed to prevent electrical disruption.
However, because no facilities operated
above permitted levels during the
emergency as authorized by the DOE
order, no environmental impacts
resulted from DOE issuing the order.
Consequently, DOE has decided not to
prepare a special environmental
analysis.
Requests for more
information should be addressed by
electronic mail to AskCR@hq.doe.gov.

Section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act
The Department is issuing this Notice
pursuant to 10 CFR 1021.343(a) to
document emergency actions taken in
accordance with section 202(c) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C.

that ‘‘[d]uring the continuance of any
war in which the United States is
engaged, or whenever the [Secretary of
Energy] determines that an emergency
exists by reason of a sudden increase in
the demand for electric energy, or a
shortage of electric energy or of facilities
for the generation or transmission of
electric energy, or of fuel or water for
generating facilities, or other causes, the
[Secretary of Energy] shall have
authority, either upon [her] own motion
or upon complaint, with or without
notice, hearing or report, to require by
order such temporary connections of
facilities and generation, delivery,
interchange, or transmission of electric
energy as in [her] judgment will best
meet the emergency and serve the
public interest.’’
