Department of Energy October 28, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Due to the omission of the P-06A Rate Schedule from the Notice of Proposed Changes to Southwestern Power Administration Rate Schedules and Opportunity for Public Review and Comment published on October 20, 2008 (73 FR 62269), this notice is a resubmission to include both the P-06A and the NFTS-06A Rate Schedule proposals for review and comment. The Administrator, Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern), has determined that revisions to the Real Power Losses provisions within existing rate schedules P-06 and NFTS-06 are required. Since the proposed rate schedule revisions are limited only to Real Power Losses, the net result of the 2006 Integrated System Power Repayment Studies, which was the basis for the existing rate schedules, will not be altered. Southwestern held several meetings during FY 2008 with customers to discuss the proposed rate schedule revisions and provide opportunity for input in the development of the final rate schedules. As a result of these informal meetings, it was determined that the revised rate schedule provisions can provide cost-savings and operational benefits to Southwestern's transmission customers and are consistent with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order No. 888.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission published a document in the Federal Register on October 3, 2008 (73 FR 57515), revising Commission rules. That document inadvertently included two non- substantive errors in the instructions for the amendatory language. This document corrects those instructions.
