SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

continued operation of Y–12 is critical 

to DOE NNSA’s Stockpile Stewardship 

Program and to preventing the spread 

and use of nuclear weapons worldwide. 

However, continued operation of Y–12 

is made more difficult by the fact that 

most of the facilities at Y–12 are old, 

oversized, and inefficient. Because 

NNSA is required to maintain the safety 

and security of the Nation’s nuclear 

weapons stockpile, and Y–12 is an 

important part of this effort, all 

alternatives assumed that NNSA will 

continue to operate Y–12 as part of the 

Nation’s nuclear security enterprise for 

the foreseeable future. A brief 

description of the SWEIS alternatives 

follows. 

Alternative 1: The No Action 

Alternative reflects the current nuclear 

weapons program missions at Y–12. 

Under the No Action Alternative, 

operations at Y–12 would continue to 

support the programs described in the 

SWEIS. The No Action Alternative 

includes certain construction projects 

that are underway or planned for the 

future. These projects include 

refurbishments or upgrades to plant 

systems, such as those for potable water, 

which have been analyzed in separate 

NEPA documentation. 

Alternative 2: Under the UPF 

Alternative, NNSA would construct and 

operate a new UPF, (approximately 

388,000 sq. ft.) which would consolidate 

enriched uranium operations into an 

integrated manufacturing facility; 

Alternative 3: Under the Upgrade- inPlace Alternative, NNSA would upgrade 

existing facilities to contemporary 

environmental, safety, and security 

standards to the extent possible within 

the limitations of the existing structures 

and without prolonged interruptions of 

manufacturing operations. 

Alternative 4: Under the Capabilitysized UPF Alternative, NNSA would 

build a smaller UPF, (approximately 

350,000 sq. ft.) compared to the UPF 

described under Alternative 2. A 

smaller UPF would maintain all 

capabilities, but would support a 

reduced production level. 

Alternative 5: Under the No Net 

Production/Capability-sized UPF 

Alternative, NNSA would build a 

smaller UPF (approximately 350,000 sq. 

ft.) compared to the UPF described 

under Alternative 2. This smaller UPF 

would maintain all capabilities, but 

would support an even further reduced 

production level than Alternative 4. 

A Complex Command Center (CCC), 

which would house equipment and 

personnel for the plant shift 

superintendent, Fire Department, and 

Emergency Operations Center, is also 

analyzed as a proposed action in all 

action alternatives (alternatives 2, 3, 4, 

and 5). 

The Draft SWEIS was issued in 

October 2009 for public review and 

comment over a 90-day period. NNSA 

considered all comments received on 

the Draft SWEIS in preparing the Final 

SWEIS. The Final SWEIS includes: (1) 

A detailed wetlands assessment related 

to construction of a proposed Haul Road 

extension corridor that would affect 

wetlands; and (2) NNSA’s responses to 

all comments received, including those 

received on the wetlands assessment. 

Subsequent Document Preparation: 

NNSA will consider the environmental 

impact analysis presented in the Final 

Y–12 SWEIS, along with other 

information, in making decisions 

regarding the continued operation of Y– 

12. NNSA will not issue any RODs for 

at least 30 days following publication in 

the Federal Register of the 

Environmental Protection Agency’s 

notice of availability. NNSA will 

publish all RODs in the Federal 

Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Current Marketing Plan Background 

The 1985 P–SMBP—ED Marketing 

Plan (1985 Plan) was published in the 

Federal Register (45 FR 71860, October 

30, 1980) and provided the marketing 

plan principles used to market P– 

SMBP—ED firm hydropower resources. 

The FES contracts associated with the 

1985 Plan were initially set to expire 

December 31, 2000. The Energy 

Planning and Management Program 

(EPAMP) final rule published in the 

Federal Register (60 FR 54151, October 

20, 1995) Subpart C extended and 

amended the 1985 Plan. EPAMP 

extended the FES contracts associated 

with the 1985 Plan through December 

31, 2020, and established the Post-2000, 

Post-2005, and the Post-2010 power 

marketing initiatives. The current 

Marketing Plan is inclusive of the 1985 

Plan as extended and amended by 

EPAMP and the Post-2000, Post-2005, 

and Post-2010 power marketing 

initiatives. 

2021 PMI Proposal Background 

Western initiated 2021 PMI 

discussions with P–SMBP—ED firm 

power customers in November of 2010, 

by hosting meetings throughout the 

Upper Great Plains Region. In addition, 

Western hosted Native Americanfocused meetings throughout the Upper 

Great Plains Region to initiate 

government-to-government consultation 

with tribal firm power customers. The 

meetings provided customers the 

opportunity to review current Marketing 

Plan principles and provide informal 

input to Western for consideration in 

this 2021 PMI proposal. Key Marketing 

Plan principles discussed with firm 

power customers included: Contract 

Term; Resource Pools; Marketable 

Resource; Marketing Area; Load Factor 

Limit and Withdrawal Provisions; and 

Marketing Future Resources. 

Western requested informal input 

from firm power customers for 

consideration in this 2021 PMI 

proposal. Customer input for the 2021 

PMI supported Western extending the 

current Marketing Plan with 

amendments to the Contract Term and 

Resource Pools principles. 

2021 PMI Proposal 

Western’s 2021 PMI proposes to 

extend the current Marketing Plan with 

amendments to the Contract Term and 

Resource Pools principles. The 

Marketing Plan principles that are 

proposed to be amended as well as the 

Marketing Plan principles that are 

proposed to be extended are as follows: 

Amended Marketing Plan Principles: 

1. Contract Term: A 30-year term 

contract term would be used for FES 

contracts. The FES contract term would 

begin January 1, 2021, and expire 

December 31, 2050. 

2. Resource Pools: The 2021 PMI 

would provide for resource pools of up 

to 1 percent of the marketable resource 

under contract at the time for eligible 

new preference entities at the beginning 

of the contract term (January 1, 2021) 

and again every 10 years (January 1, 

2031, and January 1, 2041). 

Extended Marketing Plan Principles: 

Extension of the current Marketing 

Plan includes all provisions and 

principles not specifically addressed in 

the preceding section (Amended 

Marketing Plan Principles). The 

following key principles were discussed 

with the firm power customers during 

the informal customer input phase of 

this process and are included below for 

reference purposes. 

1. Marketable Resource: Based on 

adverse condition modeling to 

determine future marketable resource 

capability and median annual energy 

forecasting to determine future annual 

energy, the proposed 2021 PMI supports 

extending the existing contract rates of 

delivery commitments, with associated 

energy, to existing long-term firm power 

customers reduced by up to 1 percent 

for each new resource pool in 2021, 

2031, and 2041. 

2. Marketing Area: The marketing area 

of the P–SMBP—ED is Montana (east of 

the Continental Divide), all of North 

Dakota and South Dakota, Nebraska east 

of the 101ß meridian, Iowa west of the 

941⁄2° meridian, and Minnesota west of 

a line on the 941⁄2° meridian from the 

southern boundary of the state to the 46ß 

parallel and then northwesterly to the 

northern boundary of the state at the 

961⁄2° meridian. 

3. Load Factor Limit and Withdrawal 

Provisions: 

a. Load Factor Limit: Western would 

market firm power at its customers’ 

monthly system load factor for as long 

as possible. Western would reserve the 

right to limit monthly load factors to 70 

percent if necessary during the 2021 

PMI contract term. A 3-year notice 

would be given prior to requiring such 

limitation. 

b. Project Use Withdrawal Provision: 

Western would reserve the right to 

reduce a customer’s summer season 

contract rate of delivery by up to 5 

percent for new project use 

requirements, by giving a minimum of 

5 years’ written notice in advance of 

such action. 

c. Hydrology and River Operations 

Withdrawal Provision: Western, at its 

discretion and sole determination, 

would reserve the right to adjust the 

contract rate of delivery on 5 years’ 

written notice in response to changes in 

hydrology and river operations. Any 

such adjustments would only take place 

after a public process by Western. 

4. Marketing Future Resources: 

Additional power resources may 

become available for various reasons. 

Any additional available resources 

would be used in accordance with 

EPAMP as specified in 10 CFR 905.32 

(e). 

Availability of Information 

Documents developed or retained by 

Western in the 2021 PMI formal public 

process will be available for inspection 

and copying at the Upper Great Plains 

Regional Office, located at 2900 4th 

Avenue North, Billings, Montana. 

Western will post information about the
