Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 20, 2024 / Notices Drought Adder Component: A formula-based revenue requirement that includes future purchase power above timing purchases, previous purchase power drought deficits, and interest on the purchase power drought deficits. The second step revenue requirement is subject to change during the annual Drought Adder adjustment processes starting in January 2026. Annual Drought Adder Adjustment Process Rate Schedule P–SED–M3 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY The Drought Adder may be adjusted annually using the above formulas for any costs attributed to drought of less than or equal to the equivalent of 2 mills/kWh to the Power Repayment Study (PRS) composite rate. Any planned incremental upward adjustment to the Drought Adder greater than the equivalent of 2 mills/kWh to the PRS composite rate will require a public process. The annual review process is initiated in early summer when WAPA reviews the Drought Adder component and provides notice of any estimated change to the Drought Adder component charge under the formula. In October, WAPA will make a final determination of any change to the Drought Adder component charge, either incremental or decremental. If a Drought Adder component change is required, a modified Drought Adder revenue requirement and the associated charges will become effective the following January 1 and will be identified in a Drought Adder modification update. WAPA will inform customers of updates by letter and post updates to WAPA’s external website. United States Department of Energy The billing demand will be the greater of (1) the highest 30-minute integrated demand measured during the month up to, but not in excess of, the delivery obligation under the power sales contract, or (2) the contract rate of delivery. Adjustments For Billing for Unauthorized Overruns: For each billing period in which there is a contract violation involving an unauthorized overrun of the contractual obligation for peaking demand and/or energy, such overrun shall be billed at 10 times the above rate.

ACTION: Notice of availability. AGENCY: The Regional Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 is providing notice of the availability of EPA’s Final Designation of stormwater discharges from certain commercial, industrial and institutional (CII) sites in the Alamitos Bay/Los Cerritos Channel Watershed and the Dominguez Channel and Los Angeles/Long Beach Inner Harbor Watershed in Los Angeles County, California for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting under the Clean Water Act (CWA). SUMMARY: EPA’s Final Designation of Stormwater Discharges from Certain Commercial, Industrial and Institutional Sites in the Alamitos Bay/Los Cerritos Channel Watershed and the Dominguez Channel and Los Angeles/Long Beach Inner Harbor Watershed in Los Angeles County (‘‘EPA’s Final Designation’’) was signed on November 5, 2024. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eugene Bromley, EPA Region 9, Water Division, NPDES Permits Section (WTR–2–3), 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105; telephone (415) 972–3510; email: bromley.eugene@ epa.gov, or R9RDA@epa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DATES: A. Does this action apply to me? Entities potentially regulated by this action include a wide variety of privately-owned CII facilities such as shopping centers, office complexes, warehouses, private schools and hospitals, and various manufacturing facilities. Entities affected by this action are located within either of two watersheds in Los Angeles County, in California: the Los Cerritos Channel/ Alamitos Bay Watershed or the Dominguez Channel and Los Angeles/ Long Beach Inner Harbor Watershed. This description of affected entities is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide for readers regarding entities likely to be affected by this action. This description of affected PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 activities includes the types of entities that EPA is now aware could potentially be affected by this action. Other types of entities not included could also be affected. To determine whether your entity is affected by this action, you should also review the description of EPA’s action in documents online at the website listed in the section C below. If you have questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. B. Summary of Final Designation In the Final Designation, EPA has determined that stormwater discharges from certain CII sites in the Los Cerritos Channel/Alamitos Bay and Dominguez Channel and Los Angeles/Long Beach Inner Harbor Watersheds in Los Angeles County are contributing to violations of water quality standards and require NPDES permit coverage under the CWA. The Final Designation differs from the Revised Preliminary Designation of November 2, 2023 (88 FR 75282) in that EPA is not designating privatelyoperated facilities at the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles at this time. EPA is taking a phased approach to this Final Designation such that EPA may consider designating stormwater discharges from additional CII sources in the future. This Final Designation is in response to two September 15, 2015 petitions entitled ‘‘Petition For A Determination That Stormwater Discharges From Commercial, Industrial, And Institutional Sites Contribute To Water Quality Standards Violations in Dominguez Channel and the Los Angeles/Long Beach Inner Harbor (Los Angeles County, California) and Require Clean Water Act Permits,’’ and ‘‘Petition For A Determination That Stormwater Discharges From Commercial, Industrial, And Institutional Sites Contribute To Water Quality Standards Violations in the Alamitos Bay/Los Cerritos Watershed (Los Angeles County, California) And Require Clean Water Act Permits’’ as well as an order from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in Los Angeles Waterkeeper v. Pruitt, 320 F. Supp.3d 1115 (C.D. CA 2018). EPA’s Final Designation is made pursuant to CWA sections 402(p)(2)(E) and (6) and EPA’s implementing regulations at 40 CFR 122.26(a)(1)(v) and 40 CFR 122.26(a)(9)(i)(D) that authorize EPA to designate stormwater discharges for regulation under the NPDES permitting program that are contributing to violations of water quality standards but are not otherwise E:\FR\FM\20NON1.SGM 20NON1
