Bonneville Power Administration 

[BPA File No.: BP–12] 

Fiscal Year (FY) 2012–2013 Proposed 

Power Rate Adjustments Public 

Hearing and Opportunities for Public 

Review and Comment 

AGENCY: Bonneville Power 

Administration (BPA), Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTIONS: Notice of FY 2012–2013 

Proposed Power Rate Adjustments. 

SUMMARY: BPA is holding a consolidated 

rate proceeding, Docket No. BP–12, to 

establish power and transmission rates 

for FY 2012–2013. The purpose of this 

Federal Register Notice is to provide 

notice of the proposed power rates and 

the rates for control area services and 

certain ancillary services (listed below, 

Section IV.C.). BPA will issue a separate 

Federal Register Notice to provide 

notice of the proposed transmission 

rates and the rates for the other ancillary 

services. 

The Pacific Northwest Electric Power 

Planning and Conservation Act 

(Northwest Power Act) provides that 

BPA must establish and periodically 

review and revise its rates so that they 

are adequate to recover, in accordance 

with sound business principles, the 

costs associated with the acquisition, 

conservation, and transmission of 

electric power, including amortization 

of the Federal investment in the Federal 

Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) 

over a reasonable number of years and 

BPA’s other costs and expenses. The 

Northwest Power Act also requires that 

BPA’s rates be established based on the 

record of a formal hearing, and for 

transmission rates only, that the costs of 

the Federal transmission system be 

equitably allocated between Federal and 

non-Federal power utilizing the system. 

By this notice, BPA announces the 

commencement of a rate adjustment 

proceeding for proposed power rates, 

control area services rates, and certain 

ancillary services rates that will be 

effective on October 1, 2011. 

In the near future, BPA will begin a 

Residential Exchange Program (REP) 

Settlement Proceeding, Docket No. REP– 

12. This separate docket will provide a 

forum to review the terms and 

conditions of a proposed 17-year 

settlement of litigation regarding BPA’s 

implementation of the REP. Even 

though the proposed REP settlement 

involves issues interrelated with the 

establishment of power rates for the FY 

2012–2013 rate period, BPA has chosen 

to exclude certain issues from the 

development of power rates in the BP– 

12 rate proceeding and address them in 

the REP–12 proceeding. Specifically, the 

REP–12 proceeding will address 

whether BPA should adopt the REP 

settlement, issues regarding the terms of 

the REP settlement, the implementation 

of the section 7(b)(2) rate test, the 

implementation of the section 7(b)(3) 

allocation, the forecast of utilities’ 

Average System Costs (ASC), the 

amount and application of the 

remaining Lookback balance, and the 

allocation of REP costs to BPA’s power 

rates. The REP–12 proceeding will 

conclude prior to the publication of 

final studies and the issuance of the 

Record of Decision (ROD) in BP–12. The 

final decisions in REP–12 will be 

incorporated into the final studies and 

power rate calculations in BP–12. See 

section II.D.12. 

DATES: Anyone wishing to become a 

party to the BP–12 proceeding must 

provide written notice, via U.S. Mail or 

electronic mail, which must be received 

by BPA no later than 3 p.m. on 

November 24, 2010. 

The BP–12 rate adjustment 

proceeding begins with a prehearing
