DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Western Area Power Administration 

Revised Open Access Transmission 

Service Tariff

AGENCY: Western Area Power 

Administration, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of Informal Meeting and 

Comment Opportunity. 

SUMMARY: The Western Area Power 

Administration (Western) is revising its 

Open Access Transmission Service 

Tariff (Tariff). Western’s existing Tariff 

was approved by the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission) 

on April 12, 2002. Western intends to 

update certain Tariff provisions, adopt 

the principal features of the 

Commission’s Standard Large Generator 

Interconnection Procedures (LGIP) and 

Standard Large Generator 

Interconnection Agreement (LGIA) 

consistent with applicable law, and to 

make additional changes to further 

Western’s mission and transmission 

marketing efforts. Publication of this 

Federal Register notice announces a 

public meeting and an opportunity for 

informal comments on Western’s 

revised Tariff prior to filing with the 

Commission.

DATES: Western will accept comments 

on the revised Tariff until November 22, 

2004. Western will present a detailed 

explanation of the revised Tariff at an 

informal public meeting to be held on 

November 8, 2004, 1 p.m. MST, Denver, 

CO. Western will accept oral and 

written comments at this meeting, and 

will also accept written comments at 

any time during the informal comment 

period.

ADDRESSES: The public meeting location 

is the Radisson Stapleton Plaza Hotel, 

3333 Quebec Street, Denver, CO. 

Send written comments to Corporate 

Communications, Western Area Power 

Administration, P.O. Box 281213,

Moe, Tariff Project Manager, Upper 

Great Plains Region, Western Area 

Power Administration, Watertown, SD 

at (605) 882–7501. For information on 

62042 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 204 / Friday, October 22, 2004 / Notices

documents posted on Western’s Web

Area Power Administration, Lakewood,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Western is 

a Federal power marketing 

administration, charged with the 

responsibility of selling electricity 

generated by power plants operated by 

the Bureau of Reclamation, the Corps of 

Engineers, and the International 

Boundary and Water Commission. 

Created in 1977 under Section 302 of 

the Department of Energy Organization 

Act, Western markets and transmits 

Federal power resources from various 

multi-purpose hydroelectric projects to 

customers in 15 Central and Western 

States. Western has four Customer 

Service Regional Offices and the 

Colorado River Storage Project 

Management Center, each referred to in 

the revised Tariff as a Regional Office. 

Western is not a public utility under 

Sections 205 and 206 of the Federal 

Power Act and is not specifically subject 

to the requirements of the LGIP and 

LGIA. Western is a transmitting utility 

subject to Section 211 of the Federal 

Power Act as amended by the Energy 

Policy Act of 1992. 

On July 24, 2003, the Commission 

issued Order No. 2003 requiring all 

public utilities that own, control, or 

operate facilities used for transmitting 

electric energy in interstate commerce to 

have on file standard procedures and a 

standard agreement for interconnecting 

generating facilities capable of 

producing more than 20 megawatts of 

power to their transmission facilities. 

Order No. 2003 requires all public 

utilities to modify their open access 

transmission tariffs to incorporate the 

LGIP and LGIA and requires non-public 

utilities with a ‘‘safe harbor’’ Tariff to 

adopt the pro forma LGIP and LGIA to 

retain ‘‘safe harbor’’ status. Western 

seeks to retain its ‘‘safe harbor’’ status 

through compliance with the spirit and 

intent of Order No. 2003, to the extent 

consistent with applicable law. 

The revised Tariff, a summary of 

changes Western intends to make to its 

existing Tariff, and information about 

the tariff process is posted on Western’s 

Web site at http://www.wapa.gov/

oatt.htm. Western will post comments 

received at the public meeting or by 

letter, fax or e-mail to this Web site after 

the close of the comment period. 

Responses to comments will also be 

posted after they are developed. 

Western must receive written comments 

by the end of the informal comment 

period to ensure they are considered in 

Western’s filing with the Commission.

Dated: October 6, 2004.
