Many of these documents are also available on DSW’s website at https://www.wapa.gov/aboutwapa/regions/dsw/rates/bouldercanyon-project-rates/. Environmental Compliance SUMMARY: ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Legal Authority DOE is setting rates for BCP electric service in accordance with section 302 of the DOE Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7152). This provision transferred to, and vested in, the Secretary of Energy certain functions of the Secretary of the Interior, along with the power marketing functions of Reclamation. DOE regulations governing charges for the sale of BCP power, 10 CFR 904.7(e), requires annual review of the BCP base charge and an ‘‘adjust[ment], either upward or downward, when necessary and administratively feasible, to assure sufficient revenues to effect payment of all costs and financial obligations associated with the [p]roject.’’ WAPA’s Administrator provided all BCP contractors an opportunity to comment on the proposed base charge adjustment, consistent with DOE procedures for public participation in rate adjustments. The BCP Electric Service Contract states that for years other than the first year and each fifth year thereafter, when the rate schedule is approved by the Deputy Secretary of Energy on a provisional basis and by FERC on a final basis, adjustments to the base charge ‘‘shall become effective upon approval by the Deputy Secretary of Energy.’’ Accordingly, the Deputy Secretary of Energy may approve the FY 2025 base charge and rates for BCP electric service, as authorized by the BCP Electric Service Contract and DOE’s procedures for public participation in rate adjustments set forth at 10 CFR parts 903 and 904.2 Following DOE’s review of WAPA’s proposal, and as authorized by applicable provisions of the BCP Electric Service Contract, I have confirmed, approved, and placed the FY 2025 base charge and rates for BCP electric service, under Rate Schedule BCP F–11, into effect on a final basis through September 30, 2025. 2 50 FR 37835 (Sept. 18, 1985) and 84 FR 5347 (Feb. 21, 2019). VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:35 Aug 29, 2024 Jkt 262001 WAPA has determined that this action fits within the following categorical exclusions listed in appendix B to subpart D of 10 CFR part 1021: B4.3 (Electric power marketing rate changes). Categorically excluded projects and activities do not require preparation of either an environmental impact statement or an environmental assessment.3 A copy of the categorical exclusion determination is available on WAPA’s website at www.wapa.gov/ regions/DSW/Environment/Pages/ environment.aspx. Determination Under Executive Order 12866 WAPA has an exemption from centralized regulatory review under Executive Order 12866; accordingly, no clearance of this notice by the Office of Management and Budget is required.
