Conference 

September 27, 2004. 

The Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission staff is convening a 

technical conference to discuss with the 

California Independent System Operator 

Corporation (CAISO) and market 

participants and facilitate a better 

understanding of several aspects of the 

CAISO’s proposed methodology for 

allocating the fuel cost allowance. In 

San Diego Gas & Electric Co. v. Sellers 

of Energy & Ancillary Serv., et al., 107 

FERC 61,166 (2004), the Commission 

directed the CAISO to develop a 

methodology to allocate recovery of the 

fuel allowance. The CAISO’s 

compliance filing, and the numerous 

protests and comments submitted in 

response thereto, raise new issues, 

including: the netting of sales and 

purchases, the mechanics of the 

implementation of the fuel cost 

allowance offset, and the consistency of 

the CAISO’s proposed methodology for 

allocating fuel cost allowance with the 

intent of the refund proceeding. 

Participants are requested to restrict 

their contributions to this conference to 

the issues related to the process and 

mechanics of allocating recovery of the 

fuel cost allowance within the 

framework of the refund proceeding. A 

separate notice will be issued by the 

Commission to announce the final 

agenda of the staff technical conference. 

The staff technical conference will be 

held on October 7, 2004, at the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 

beginning at 9 a.m. (e.s.t.) in a room to 

be announced at a later date. 

The conference is open for the public 

to attend, and registration is not 

required. For more information about

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 20, 1995, Western published 

the Final Program Rule for the Program, 

which became effective on November 

20, 1995 (60 FR 54151, October 20, 

1995). Subpart C–Power Marketing 

Initiative of the Program, Final Rule, 10 

CFR part 905, provides for projectspecific resource pools and allocations 

of power from these pools to eligible 

preference contractors. Western 

published its decision to apply the 

Program Power Marketing Initiative 

(PMI) to the P–DP on May 5, 2003 (68 

FR 23709). This decision created a 

resource pool of approximately 17 

megawatts (MW) of summer season 

capacity and 13 MW of winter season 

capacity based on estimates of current 

P–DP hydroelectric resource 

availability, for allocation to eligible 

preference contractors for 20 years 

beginning October 1, 2008. 

Traditionally, Western has marketed 

allocations of firm power to eligible 

preference contractors to encourage the 

most widespread use, following Federal 

Reclamation Law. Western will make 

allocations to preference contractors 

under the current P–DP Marketing Plan 

(49 FR 50582, 52 FR 7014, 52 FR 28333) 

and the Program. Western intends to 

carry forward the key principles and 

criteria of the Marketing Plan and the 

Program, except as modified in this 

notice. 

Proposed Post—2008 Resource Pool 

Allocation Procedures 

These proposed procedures for the P–

DP resource pool address (1) eligibility 

criteria; (2) how Western plans to 

allocate the resource pool to eligible 

applicants; and (3) the terms and 

conditions under which Western will 

sell the allocated power. 

I. Amount of Pool Resources 

As of October 1, 2008, Western 

proposes to allocate, as long-term firm 

power to eligible preference contractors, 

approximately 17 MW of summer 

season capacity and 13 MW of winter 

season capacity, based on estimates of 

current P–DP hydroelectric resource 

availability. Firm power means capacity 

and associated energy allocated by 

Western and subject to the terms and 

conditions specified in the Western P–

DP electric service contract. The 

associated energy will equal 3,441 

kilowatt hours per kilowatt (kWh/kW) 

in summer and 1,703 kWh/kW in 

winter, based on current marketing plan 

criteria. This new resource pool 

includes 0.869 MW of summer 

withdrawable capacity and 0.619 MW of 

winter withdrawable capacity. 

Withdrawable power is power reserved 

for United States priority use, but not 

presently needed. Priority use power is 

capacity and energy required for the 

development and operation of Bureau of 

Reclamation (Reclamation) projects as 

required by legislation and irrigation 

pumping on certain Indian lands. When 

priority-use power is requested, Western 

will substantiate that the power to be 

withdrawn will be used for the purposes 

specified in the Conformed Criteria (49 

FR 50586) and then, upon a 2-year 

written advance notice, Western may 

withdraw the necessary amount of 

power on a pro-rata basis (52 FR 28336).

II. General Eligibility Criteria 

Western proposes to apply the 

following general eligibility criteria to 

applicants seeking a firm power 

allocation under the proposed Post-2008 

Resource Pool Allocation Procedures: 

A. Qualified applicants must be 

preference entities as defined by section 

9(c) of the Reclamation Project Act of 

1939, 43 U.S.C. 485h(c), as amended 

and supplemented. 

B. First consideration will be given to 

qualified applicants in the P–DP 

marketing area who do not have a 

contract with Western for Federal power 

resources or are not a member of a 

parent entity that has a contract with 

Western for Federal power resources. 

C. Qualified applicants, except Native 

American tribes, must be ready, willing, 

and able to receive and distribute or use 

power from Western. Ready, willing, 

and able means that the potential 

customer has the facilities needed for 

the receipt of power or has made the 

necessary arrangements for transmission 

and/or distribution service; and the 

potential customer’s power supply 

contracts with third parties permit the 

delivery of Western’s power (60 FR 

54173). End users must have the 

necessary arrangements for transmission 

and/or distribution service in place by 

April 1, 2008. 

D. Qualified applicants that desire to 

purchase power from Western for resale 

to consumers, including cooperatives, 

municipalities, public utility districts, 

and public power districts must have 

utility status by October 1, 2005; and 

must have the necessary arrangements 

for transmission and/or distribution 

service in place by April 1, 2008. Native 

American tribes are not subject to this 

58902 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 190 / Friday, October 1, 2004 / Notices 

requirement. Utility status means the 

applicant has responsibility to meet 

load growth, has a distribution system, 

and is ready, willing, and able to 

purchase Federal power from Western 

on a wholesale basis for resale to retail 

customers. 

E. Qualified Native American 

applicants must be a Native American 

tribe as defined in the Indian Self 

Determination Act of 1975, 25 U.S.C. 

450b, as amended. 

III. General Allocation Criteria 

Western proposes to apply the 

following general allocation criteria to 

applicants seeking an allocation of firm 

power under the proposed Post-2008 

Resource Pool Allocation Procedures. 

A. Allocations of firm power will be 

made in amounts as determined solely 

by Western in exercise of its discretion 

under Federal Reclamation Law. 

B. An allottee may begin service to 

purchase firm power only upon the 

execution of an electric service contract 

between Western and the allottee, and 

satisfaction of all conditions in that 

contract. 

C. Firm power will be allocated under 

these procedures to qualified applicants 

following preference provisions of 

section 9(c) of the Reclamation Project 

Act of 1939, in the following order of 

priority: 

1. Preference entities in the P–DP 

marketing area that do not have a 

contract with Western for Federal power 

resources or are not a member of a 

parent entity that has a contract with 

Western for Federal power resources. 

2. Preference entities in the P–DP 

marketing area that have a contract with 

Western for Federal power resources or 

are a member of a parent entity that has 

a contract with Western for Federal 

power resources. 

3. Preference entities in adjacent 

Federal marketing areas that do not have 

a contract with Western for Federal 

power resources or are not a member of 

a parent entity that has a contract with 

Western for Federal power resources. 

D. The P–DP marketing area includes: 

• All of the drainage area considered 

tributary to the Colorado River below a 

point 1 mile downstream from the 

mouth of the Paria River (Lee’s Ferry). 

• The State of Arizona, excluding that 

portion lying in the Upper Colorado 

River Basin, except for that portion of 

the Upper Colorado River Basin in 

which the Navajo Generating Station is 

located. The Navajo Generating Station 

is included in the power marketing area 

as a resource only. 

• That portion of the State of New 

Mexico lying in the Lower Colorado 

River Basin and the independent 

Quemada Basin lying north of the San 

Francisco River drainage area. 

• Those portions of the State of 

California lying in the Lower Colorado 

River Basin and in drainage basins of all 

streams draining into the Pacific Ocean 

south of Calleguas Creek. 

• Those parts of the States of 

California and Nevada in the Lahontan 

Basin including and lying south of the 

drainages of Mono Lake, Adobe 

Meadows, Owens Lake, Amargosa River, 

Dry Lakes, and all closed independent 

basins or other areas in southern 

Arizona not tributary to the Colorado 

River. 

For a map of the P–DP marketing area, 

visit Western’s Web site at http://

www.wapa.gov/dsw/pwrmkt.

E. Western will base allocations made 

to qualified applicants on the actual 

loads experienced in calendar year 2003 

and will apply current marketing plan 

criteria and Program criteria to these 

loads, except as stated in this notice. 

F. Western will base allocations made 

to Native American tribes on the actual 

load experienced in calendar year 2003. 

Western has the right to use estimated 

load values should actual load data not 

be available. Western will review and 

adjust, where necessary, inaccurate 

estimates received during the allocation 

process. 

G. New contractors must execute 

electric service contracts within 6 

months of receiving a contract offer 

from Western, unless Western agrees 

otherwise in writing. 

H. The resource pool will be 

dissolved subsequent to the closing date 

for executing firm power contracts. Firm 

power not under contract by the closing 

date will be used as determined by 

Western. 

I. The minimum allocation shall be 

1,000 kW. 

J. If unanticipated obstacles to the 

delivery of hydropower benefits to 

Native American tribes arise, Western 

retains the right to provide the 

economic benefits of its resources 

directly to the tribes.

IV. General Contract Principles 

Western proposes to apply the 

following general contract principles to 

all applicants receiving an allocation of 

firm power under the proposed Post2008 Resource Pool Allocation 

Procedures. 

A. Western reserves the right to 

reduce the withdrawable portion of a 

contractor’s contract rate of delivery, 

upon 2 years’ notice of a request by 

Reclamation for additional energy 

needed to serve project pumping 

requirements. 

B. Western, at its discretion and sole 

determination, reserves the right to 

adjust the contract rate of delivery on 5 

years’ written notice in response to 

changes in hydrology and river 

operations. Such adjustments will only 

take place after Western conducts a 

public process. 

C. Each contractor is ultimately 

responsible for arranging third-party 

delivery. Western may assist new 

contractors in obtaining third-party 

transmission arrangements for delivery 

of firm power allocated under these 

contracts. 

D. No contractor shall sell for profit 

any of the capacity and energy allocated 

to it to any customer of the contractor 

for resale by that customer (49 FR 

50585). 

E. Contracts entered into under the 

Post-2008 Resource Pool Allocation 

Procedures will provide for Western to 

furnish firm electric service effective 

from October 1, 2008, through 

September 30, 2028. 

F. Contractors will be required to pay 

in advance for their firm electric service. 

G. To the extent existing contractors’

allocations are reduced to create the 

resource pool, new contractors will be 

required to reimburse existing 

contractors for undepreciated 

replacement advances. 

H. Contracts entered into as a result 

of the proposed procedures will 

incorporate Western’s standard 

provisions for power sales contracts, 

integrated resource planning, and the 

general power contract provisions. 

V. Applications for Firm Power

a. Western may request in writing 

additional information from any 

applicant whose APD is determined to 

be deficient. The applicant will have 15 

days from the date on Western’s letter 

of request to provide the information. 

b. If Western determines the applicant 

does not meet the general eligibility 

criteria, Western will send a letter 

explaining why the applicant did not 

qualify. 

c. If the applicant has met the 

eligibility criteria, Western, through the 

public process, will determine the 

amount of firm power, if any, to allocate 

in accordance with the general 

allocation criteria in Section III. Western 

will send a draft contract to the 

applicant that identifies the terms and 

conditions of the offer and the amount 

of firm power allocated to the applicant. 

VI. Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 

(5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.) requires Federal 

agencies to perform a regulatory 

flexibility analysis if a final rule is likely 

to have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small entities 

and there is a legal requirement to issue 

a general notice of proposed 

rulemaking. Western has determined 

that this action does not require a 

regulatory flexibility analysis since it is 

a rulemaking of particular applicability 

involving rates or services applicable to 

public property. 

VII. Small Business Regulatory 

Enforcement Fairness Act 

Western has determined that this rule 

is exempt from congressional 

notification requirements under 5 U.S.C. 

801 because the action is a rulemaking 

of particular applicability relating to 

rates or services and involves matters of 

procedure. 

VIII. Determination Under Executive 

Order 12866 

Western has an exemption from 

centralized regulatory review under 

Executive Order 12866; accordingly, no 

clearance of this notice by the Office of 

Management and Budget is required. 

IX. Environmental Compliance 

Western has completed an 

environmental impact statement on the 

Program, pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA). The Record of Decision was 

published in 60 FR 53181, October 12, 

1995. Western’s NEPA review assured 

all environmental effects related to these 

actions have been analyzed.

Dated: September 16, 2004.
