Southwestern Power Administration June 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern) has developed a draft addendum to its January 2009 Final Determination Report concerning the Federal and non-Federal hydropower impacts of the White River Minimum Flows project. The draft addendum documents proposed changes to Southwestern's final determination. The proposed changes include: (1) Accounting for the impacts that the increase in average pool elevation has on the operation of the Federal Bull Shoals and Norfork projects, and (2) the inclusion of an additional discount rate source to be used by Southwestern in determination of the present value of the losses to both Federal projects and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Project No. 2221.
