SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

(FERC), by order issued December 8, 

2006,117 FERC ¶ 62,220, confirmed and 

approved Rate Schedules VA–1–A, VA– 

2–A, VA–3–A, VA–4–A, CP&L–1–A, 

CP&L–2–A, CP&L–3–A, CP&L–4–A, AP– 

1–A, AP–2–A, AP–3–A, AP–4–A, NC– 

1–A, Replacement-2, and VANC–1 for 

the period October 1, 2006, to 

September 30, 2011. A repayment study 

prepared in January of 2010 showed that 

existing rates are not adequate to 

recover all costs required by present 

repayment criteria. Due to the projected 

shortfall a revised repayment study was 

prepared with a revenue increase of 

$3,723,000 in Fiscal Year 2011 and all 

future years. The revised repayment 

plan shows that all costs will be repaid 

within their service life. Therefore, 

Southeastern is proposing to revise the 

existing rates to generate this additional 

revenue. The increase is primarily due 

to a severe drought. The rate adjustment 

is an increase of about 20 percent. 

Proposed Unit Rates 

Under the proposed rates, the 

capacity charge will increase from the 

current $2.98 per kilowatt per month to 

$3.91 per kilowatt per month. The 

energy charge will increase from the 

current 11.90 mills per kilowatt-hour to 

15.66 mills per kilowatt-hour. In 

addition, Southeastern proposes to 

continue a Tandem Transmission rate, 

which is designed to recover the cost of 

transmitting power from a project to the 

border of another transmitting system. 

This rate is to be a formulary passthrough rate based on the charges by 

transmission facilitators and is 

estimated to be $2.14 per kilowatt per 

month. 

In addition to these proposed rate 

adjustments, Southeastern is proposing 

to continue a true-up based on the costs 

that are transferred to plant in service in 

the preceding fiscal year to cover the 

costs associated with this rehabilitation. 

The John H. Kerr Project is currently 

undergoing rehabilitation, and a true-up 

adjustment is incorporated in the 

current rates. For each increase of 

$1,000,000 to plant in service, an 

increase of $0.013 per kilowatt per 

month will be added to the capacity 

charge, and 0.052 mills per kilowatthour will be added to the energy charge. 

Southeastern is proposing the 

following rate schedules to be effective 

for the period from October 1, 2010, to 

September 30, 2015. The capacity 

charge and energy charge will be the 

same for all rate schedules. These rate 

schedules are necessary to 

accommodate the transmission and 

scheduling arrangements that are 

available in the Kerr-Philpott System.

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. AD10–5–000] 

RTO/ISO Performance Metrics; Notice 

Requesting Comments on RTO/ISO 

Performance Metrics 

February 3, 2010. 

In September 2008, the United States 

Government Accountability Office 

(GAO) issued a report titled ‘‘Electricity 

Restructuring: FERC Could Take 

Additional Steps to Analyze Regional 

Transmission Organizations’ Benefits 

and Performance,’’ GAO–08–987. This 

report recommends that the Chairman of 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (Commission or FERC), 

among other actions, work with regional 

transmission organizations (RTO), 

Independent System Operators (ISO), 

stakeholders and other experts to 

develop standardized measures that 

track the performance of RTO/ISO 

operations and markets and report the 

performance results to Congress and the 

public annually, while also providing 

interpretation of (1) what the measures 

and reported performance communicate 

about the benefits of RTOs and, where 

appropriate, (2) changes that need to be 

made to address any performance 

concerns. 

As recommended by GAO, 

Commission staff has worked with a 

team comprised of staff from all the 

jurisdictional ISOs/RTOs to develop a 

set of performance metrics that the 

ISOs/RTOs will use to report annually 

to the Commission. Commission staff 

and representatives from the ISOs/RTOs 

have also met with interested 

stakeholders to solicit their perspectives 

and comments on the proposed 

performance metrics. 

Commission staff requests comments 

on whether the proposed performance 

metrics will effectively track the 

performance of ISO/RTO operations and 

markets. Comments must be filed on or 

before March 5, 2010. Reply comments 

must be filed on or before March 19, 

2010. 

Addresses: Parties may submit 

comments, identified by Docket No. 

AD10–5–000, by one of the following 

methods. 

Agency Web site: http://www.ferc. 

gov/. Follow the instructions for 

submitting comments via the eFiling 

link found under the ‘‘Documents and 

Filing’’ tab. 

Mail: Commenters unable to file 

comments electronically must mail or
