SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Marketing Plan provides the basis for
marketing the PRP long-term
hydroelectric resource beginning
October 1, 2024, through September 30,
2054. The Marketing Plan established
the opportunity for one resource pool of
up to 3 percent of the net marketable
resource under contract at the time of
reallocation to be available for eligible
new preference entities and existing
contractors.
WAPA notified the public of the 2025
Resource Pool allocation procedures,
including the Eligibility Criteria, and
called for applications in the Federal
Register on March 17, 2023 (88 FR
16433). WAPA accepted applications at
WAPA’s CRSP MC until 4:00 p.m. MDT,
June 15, 2023.
WAPA seeks comments on its
proposal not to allocate any power
under the 2025 Resource Pool. After
considering public comments received,
WAPA will publish the final decision in
the Federal Register.

I. 2025 Pool Resources
To ensure consistency with WAPA’s
wide-spread use policy when a project
is remarketed, it was WAPA’s intent to
reallocate up to 3 percent of the net
marketable PRP energy resource for
eligible new preference entities.
Furthermore, PRP contractors also were
eligible to apply for a portion of the
resource pool. Based on the most recent
5-year net marketable power average of
17,243,527 kilowatt-hour (kWh)
annually, the estimated amount of PRP
energy available for the 2025 Resource
Pool as of October 1, 2024, through
September 30, 2054, is estimated at
517,306 kWh annually. The 2025
Resource Pool would be created by
reducing existing PRP contractors’
allocation by up to 3 percent.
II. No Proposed 2025 Resource Pool
Power Allocation
WAPA received one application for
the 2025 Resource Pool. The single
application came- from the Utah
Associated Municipal Power Systems
(UAMPS), a joint action agency, on
behalf of three of its members: Payson,
Utah, Springville City, Utah, and South
Utah Valley Electric Service District,
Utah. All are existing PRP contractors
(sub-allottees). WAPA received no other
applications, including any applications
from eligible new applicants.
As discussed in the Marketing Plan,
WAPA would make allocations for the
2025 Resource Pool at WAPA’s
discretion (88 FR 16438). One of the
purposes of the 2025 Resource Pool is
‘‘to ensure consistency with the widespread use policy to allow new
applicants an opportunity to receive an
allocation’’ (88 FR 16435). In allocating
the 2025 Resource Pool WAPA would
‘‘take into consideration all existing
federal hydropower allocations an
applicant is currently receiving when
determining each new 2025 Resource
Pool application’’ (88 FR 16437). After
analyzing the application from UAMPS
on behalf of the three sub-allottees and
taking into consideration all existing
federal hydropower allocations to all
PRP contractors, WAPA determined no
significant benefit of additional widespread use by continuing forward with
the 2025 Resource Pool proposed power
allocations. Therefore, WAPA proposes
not to allocate any power under the
2025 Resource Pool. As part of the
proposal, WAPA will not reduce PRP
contractor allocations by 3 percent, and
all current PRP allocations remaining
unchanged from October 1, 2024,
through September 30, 2054, as
indicated in the table below.
