Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 13, 2024 / Notices
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
disfavored. Petitions to intervene must
conform to the format and content
requirements in sections 1010.6 and
1010.11 of BPA’s Rules of Procedure.
Petitions must state the name and
address of the entity or person
requesting party status and the entity or
person’s interest in the hearing.
The Hearing Officer will rule on all
petitions to intervene. BPA customers
and affiliated customer groups will be
granted intervention based on petitions
filed in conformance with the Rules of
Procedure. Other petitioners must
explain their interests in sufficient
detail to permit the Hearing Officer to
determine whether the petitioners have
a relevant interest in the hearing.
BPA or any party may oppose a
petition to intervene. The deadline for
opposing a timely petition to intervene
is two business days after the deadline
for filing the petition. Opposition to an
untimely petition to intervene must be
filed within two business days after
service of the petition.
B. Participant Comments
BPA distinguishes between
‘‘participants in’’ and ‘‘parties to’’ the
PRDM proceeding. Separate from the
formal hearing process, BPA will accept
written comments, views, opinions, and
information from participants who have
not intervened in the PRDM proceeding
and been granted ‘‘party’’ status by the
Hearing Officer. Participants are not
entitled to participate in the prehearing
conference; may not cross-examine
parties’ witnesses, seek discovery, or
serve or be served with documents; and
are not subject to the same procedural
requirements as parties. Entities who
intervene in this proceeding may not
submit participant comments. Members
or employees of organizations that have
intervened in the proceeding may
submit participant comments as private
individuals (that is, not speaking for
their organizations) but may not use the
comment procedures to address specific
issues raised by their intervener
organizations.
Written comments by participants
must be received by January 30, 2025,
to be included in the record and
considered by the Administrator.
Participants should submit comments
through BPA’s website at www.bpa.gov/
comment or by hard copy to: BPA
Public Involvement, Bonneville Power
Administration, P.O. Box 14428,
Portland, Oregon 97293. All comments
should contain the designation ‘‘PRDM–
26’’ in the subject line.
C. Developing the Record
The hearing record will include,
among other things, the transcripts of

the hearing, written evidence and
argument entered into the record by
BPA and the parties, written comments
from participants, and other material
accepted into the record by the Hearing
Officer. The Hearing Officer will review
and certify the record to the
Administrator for final decision.
Part IV—Public Rate Design
Methodology
The PRDM establishes a predictable
and durable means by which to tier and
calculate BPA’s Priority Firm (PFp)
power rate. Specific determinations of
rate levels will be made in each general
rate case in a manner consistent with
the PRDM in the respective section 7(i)
proceedings applicable during the term
of this PRDM. Tiered PFp rates
consistent with the PRDM will be
implemented beginning in FY 2029
(October 1, 2028) when power deliveries
under the Provider of Choice contracts
commence.
The PRDM provides for a two-tiered
PFp rate design that will be applicable
to the general requirements portion of
BPA’s customer’s firm power service.
The ‘‘general requirements’’ of BPA’s
customers are defined by section 7(b)(4)
of the Act, and exclude service to a
customer’s New Large Single Load, as
defined by section 3(13)(A)–(B) of the
Act. Section 7(b) establishes the power
‘‘rate or rates’’ applicable to a
customer’s general requirements. That
rate is called the PFp rate. The PRDM
operates within the section 7(b) rate
statutory construct by developing
multiple PFp rates for service to a
customer’s general requirements. The
PRDM uses a ‘‘tiered’’ rate design to
establish two primary PFp rates. The
first tier, Tier 1, recovers the costs of
service associated with BPA’s existing
power system up to a specified amount.
The second tier, Tier 2, recovers the
costs associated with additional
amounts of power needed to serve any
remaining portion of the customers’
general requirements (i.e., the portion
not otherwise served by Tier 1). The
PRDM specifies how the Tier 1 and Tier
2 rates will be developed and charged.
The PRDM addresses: (1) how the cost
pools for the Tier 1 and Tier 2 PFp rates
will be established and what costs, or
category of costs, will be included in
those pools; (2) how the resource costs
for the existing power system will be
differentiated from the cost of new
resources; (3) how the costs described in
the above categories will be allocated to
the Tier 1 and Tier 2 cost pools; (4) how
rates for Tier 1 and Tier 2 sales will be
designed; (5) how rates for resource
support services will be designed; (6)
how the PRDM interacts with other
PO 00000
Frm 00068
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
services and credits; and (7) how
changes and disputes regarding the
PRDM are addressed. The full terms of
the proposed PRDM is available on
Bonneville’s PRDM webpage at https://
www.bpa.gov/prdm2029.
The cost allocation and rate design
methods will be implemented in each
BPA power rate case during the term of
the Provider of Choice contracts. Power
rates will be calculated on at least a twoyear cycle under the PRDM.
