Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 3 / Wednesday, January 5, 2011 / Notices 545 

CP11–50–000, an application pursuant 

to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission’s 

regulations, requesting a certificate of 

public convenience and necessity to 

construct the Choctaw Hub Expansion 

Project in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. 

Specifically, the project consists of (1) 

placing into Commission-jurisdictional 

service two existing salt storage caverns; 

(2) constructing 13 miles of 30-inch 

pipeline that will parallel 

PetroLogistics’ existing header; (3) 

constructing two new compressor units, 

totaling 27,000 horsepower, at its 

existing compressor station; (4) 

constructing associated piping, 

measuring, and appurtenant facilities in 

order to integrate the proposed project 

into PetroLogistics’ existing storage 

facility; and (5) increasing the maximum 

daily deliverability and withdrawal 

capacity of the storage facility, all as 

more fully set forth in the application 

which is on file with the Commission 

and open to public inspection. This 

filing may also be viewed on the 

Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. 

Enter the docket number, excluding the 

last three digits, in the docket number 

field to access the document. For 

assistance, call (866) 208–3676 or TTY, 

(202) 502–8659. 

Any questions regarding this 

application should be directed to Allen 

Kirkley, PetroLogistics Natural Gas 

Storage, LLC, 4470 Bluebonnet Blvd., 

Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70809, or by 

calling (225) 706–2253 (telephone) or 

(225) 706–7050 (fax). 

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR 

157.9, within 90 days of this Notice, the 

Commission’s staff will either complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission’s staff issuance of the EA 

for this proposal. The filing of the EA 

in the Commission’s public record for 

this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify Federal and 

state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to reach a final 

decision on a request for federal 

authorization within 90 days of the date 

of issuance of the Commission staff’s 

EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

14 copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commenters will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commenters will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commenters 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://www.ferc.gov. 

Persons unable to file electronically 

should submit an original and 14 copies 

of the protest or intervention to the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 

20426. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a) (1) (iii) 

and the instructions on the 

Commission’s Web site under the ‘‘eFiling’’ link.

Comment Date: 5 p.m. Eastern Time

Any person desiring to intervene or to 

protest in any of the above proceedings 

must file in accordance with Rules 211 

and 214 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 

and 385.214) on or before 5 p.m. Eastern 

time on the specified comment date. It 

is not necessary to separately intervene 

again in a subdocket related to a 

compliance filing if you have previously 

intervened in the same docket. Protests 

will be considered by the Commission 

in determining the appropriate action to 

be taken, but will not serve to make 

protestants parties to the proceeding. 

Anyone filing a motion to intervene or 

protest must serve a copy of that 

document on the Applicant. In reference 

to filings initiating a new proceeding, 

interventions or protests submitted on 

or before the comment deadline need 

not be served on persons other than the 

Applicant. 

As it relates to any qualifying facility 

filings, the notices of self-certification 

[or self-recertification] listed above, do 

not institute a proceeding regarding 

qualifying facility status. A notice of 

self-certification [or self-recertification] 

simply provides notification that the 

entity making the filing has determined 

the facility named in the notice meets 

the applicable criteria to be a qualifying 

facility. Intervention and/or protest do 

not lie in dockets that are qualifying 

facility self-certifications or selfrecertifications. Any person seeking to 

challenge such qualifying facility status 

may do so by filing a motion pursuant 

to 18 CFR 292.207(d)(iii). Intervention 

and protests may be filed in response to 

notices of qualifying facility dockets 

other than self-certifications and selfrecertifications. 

The Commission encourages 

electronic submission of protests and 

interventions in lieu of paper, using the 

FERC Online links at http:// 

www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic 

service, persons with Internet access 

who will eFile a document and/or be 

listed as a contact for an intervenor 

must create and validate an 

eRegistration account using the 

eRegistration link. Select the eFiling 

link to log on and submit the 

intervention or protests. 

Persons unable to file electronically 

should submit an original and 14 copies 

of the intervention or protest to the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

888 First St., NE., Washington, DC 

20426. 

The filings in the above proceedings

Western Area Power Administration 

Central Arizona Project-Rate Order No. 

WAPA–153 

AGENCY: Western Area Power 

Administration, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of Order Temporarily 

Extending Transmission Formula Rates. 

SUMMARY: This action is to extend the 

existing Central Arizona Project (CAP) 

formula rates through December 31, 

2012. The existing Transmission Service 

Formula Rate Schedules CAP–FT2, 

CAP–NFT2, and CAP–NITS2 expire on 

December 31, 2010. These Transmission 

Service Rate Schedules contain formula 

rates that are recalculated from annual 

updated financial and load data. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Jack Murray, Rates Manager, Desert 

Southwest Customer Service Region, 

Western Area Power Administration, 

P.O. Box 6457, Phoenix, AZ 85005– 

6457, (602) 605–2442, e-mail

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By 

Delegation Order No. 00–037.00, 

effective December 6, 2001, the 

Secretary of Energy delegated: (1) The 

authority to develop power and 

transmission rates to the Administrator 

of Western Area Power Administration 

(Western); (2) the authority to confirm, 

approve, and place such rates into effect 

on an interim basis to the Deputy 

Secretary of Energy; and (3) the 

authority to confirm, approve, and place 

into effect on a final basis, to remand, 

or to disapprove such rates to the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

(FERC). 

The existing rates, contained in Rate 

Order No. WAPA–124 1 were approved 

for 5 years through December 31, 2010. 

Western is proposing to temporarily 

extend the existing CAP transmission 

service formula rates pursuant to 10 

CFR 903.23 (b). 

Western is engaged in ongoing 

discussions with CAP stakeholders and 

these discussions may ultimately result 

in Western proposing future changes to 

the formula rates. Therefore, Western 

believes it is premature to proceed with 

a formal rate adjustment process at this 

time. Extending the existing 

Transmission Service Rate Schedules 

CAP–FT2, CAP–NFT2, and CAP–NITS2 

through December 31, 2012, will 

provide adequate time for Western to 

finalize these discussions. 

The existing CAP formula rates collect 

sufficient revenue to meet all annual 

costs, including interest expense, and 

repayment of required investment, thus 

ensuring repayment of the project 

within the cost recovery criteria set 

forth in DOE order RA 6120.2. 

Western did not have a consultation 

and comment period and did not hold 

public information and comment 

forums, in accordance with 10 CFR 

903.23 (b). 

Following review of Western’s 

proposal within the Department of 

Energy, I hereby approve Rate Order No. 

WAPA–153, extending the existing 

Transmission Service Rate Schedules 

CAP–FT2, CAP–NFT2, and CAP–NITS2 

through December 31, 2012. Rate Order 

No. WAPA–153 will be submitted to 

FERC for informational purposes only. 

Dated: December 29, 2010.

In the Matter of: 

Western Area Power Administration, 

Rate Extension for Central Arizona 

Project, Transmission Service Rate 

Schedules. 

Rate Order No. WAPA–153. 

Order Confirming and Approving an 

Extension of the Central Arizona 

Project Transmission Service Rate 

Schedules 

Section 302 of the Department of 

Energy (DOE) Organization Act (42 

U.S.C. 7152) transferred to and vested in 

the Secretary of Energy the power 

marketing functions of the Secretary of 

the Department of the Interior and the 

Bureau of Reclamation under the 

Reclamation Act of 1902 (ch. 1093, 32 

Stat. 388), as amended and 

supplemented by subsequent laws, 

particularly section 9(c) of the 

Reclamation Project Act of 1939 (43 

U.S.C. 485h(c)), and other Acts that 

specifically apply to the project 

involved. 

By Delegation Order No. 00–037.00, 

effective December 6, 2001, the 

Secretary of Energy delegated: (1) The 

authority to develop long-term power 

and transmission rates to the 

Administrator of the Western Area 

Power Administration (Western); (2) the 

authority to confirm, approve, and place 

such rates into effect on an interim basis 

to the Secretary of Energy; and (3) the 

authority to confirm, approve, and place 

into effect on a final basis, to remand, 

or to disapprove such rates to the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

(FERC). This temporary extension is 

issued pursuant to the Delegation Order 

and DOE rate extension procedures at 

10 CFR 903.23(b). 

Background 

On June 29, 2006, in Docket No. 

EF06–5111–000 at 115 FERC ¶ 62,326 

FERC issued an order confirming, 

approving, and placing into effect on a 

final basis the Transmission Service 

Rate Schedules CAP–FT2, CAP–NFT2 

and CAP–NITS2 for the CAP. The 

Transmission Service Rates, Rate Order 

No. WAPA–124, were approved for 5 

years beginning January 1, 2006 through 

December 31, 2010. 

Discussion 

Western is proposing to extend the 

existing transmission rate schedules 

pursuant to 

10 CFR 903.23(b). Western’s existing 

Transmission Service Formula Rates, 

which are recalculated annually, would 

sufficiently recover project expenses 

(including interest) and capital 

requirements through December 31, 

2012. Western did not have a 

consultation and comment period and 

did not hold public information and 

comment forums, in accordance with 

10 CFR 903.23(b). 

Order 

In view of the above and under the 

authority delegated to me, I hereby 

extend from January 1, 2011 through 

December 31, 2012, the existing Rate 

Schedules CAP–FT2, CAP–NFT2, and 

CAP–NITS2 for transmission service for 

the Central Arizona Project of the 

Western Area Power Administration. 

Dated: December 29, 2010.

Deputy Secretary.
