DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Western Area Power Administration 

Post–2010 Resource Pool, Pick-Sloan 

Missouri Basin Program—Eastern 

Division 

AGENCY: Western Area Power 

Administration, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed allocation. 

SUMMARY: Western Area Power 

Administration (Western), Upper Great 

Plains Region, a Federal power 

marketing agency of the Department of 

Energy (DOE), hereby announces the 

Post–2010 Resource Pool Proposed 

Allocation of Power. The Energy 

Planning and Management Program 

(Program) provides for project-specific 

resource pools and allocating power 

from these pools to new preference 

customers and other appropriate 

purposes as determined by Western. 

Western, in accordance with the 

Program, is proposing an allocation of 

Federal power from the Pick-Sloan 

Missouri Basin Program—Eastern 

Division (P–SMBP—ED) beginning 

January 1, 2011. Western intends to use 

power previously returned to Western 

for this proposed allocation. Western 

will prepare and publish the Final 

Allocation of Power in the Federal 

Register after all public comments on 

the proposed allocation have been 

considered. 

DATES: Entities interested in 

commenting on the proposed allocation 

of power must submit written comments 

to Western’s Upper Great Plains 

Regional Office. Western must receive 

written and/or electronic comments by 

4 p.m., MDT, on September 28, 2009. 

Western reserves the right to not 

consider any comments that are 

received after the prescribed date and 

time. 

Western will hold a public 

information forum and a public 

comment forum (immediately following 

the information forum) on the proposed 

allocation of power. The public 

information and public comment 

forums will be held on September 17, 

2009, at 9 a.m., CDT, in Sioux Falls, 

South Dakota. 

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments 

regarding this proposed allocation of 

Western power to Robert J. Harris, 

Regional Manager, Upper Great Plains 

Region, Western Area Power 

Administration, 2900 4th Avenue North, 

Billings, MT 59101–1266. Comments on 

the proposed allocation may also be 

faxed to (406) 247–7408 or e-mailed to 

UGPPost2010@wapa.gov. 

The public information and comment 

forums will be held at the Holiday Inn, 

100 West 8th Street, Sioux Falls, South 

Dakota. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John 

A. Pankratz, Public Utilities Specialist, 

Upper Great Plains Region, Western 

Area Power Administration, 2900 4th 

Avenue North, Billings, MT 59101– 

1266, telephone (406) 247–7392, e-mail 

pankratz@wapa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Program, (60 FR 

54151, October 20, 1995), Western 

published the proposed procedures and 

call for applications in the Federal 

Register on October 15, 2008 (73 FR 

61109). Western held a public 

information and comment forum on 

November 20, 2008, to accept oral and 

written comments on the proposed 

procedures and call for applications. 

Applications for power were accepted at 

Western’s Upper Great Plains Regional 

Office until close of business on January 

13, 2009. On May 5, 2009, Western 

published the final procedures in the 

Federal Register (74 FR 20697). The 

proposed allocation of power published 

here is the result of applications 

received during the call for applications. 

Applications were subjected to the Final 

Post–2010 Resource Pool Allocation 

Procedures. 

Past resource pools under the Program 

were established from withdrawals of 

power from existing customers. Subject 

to the size of the final allocation, 

Western does not intend to make a 

withdrawal of power from existing 

customers for the proposed Post–2010 

Resource Pool allocation. Instead of 

withdrawal, Western, in accordance 

with 10 CFR 905.32(e)(2) of the 

Program, intends to use power 

previously placed under contract and 

subsequently returned to Western 

through termination of that contract 

(Returned Power) for this proposed 

allocation. The amount of Returned 

Power is sufficient for the proposed 

allocation; therefore, withdrawal from 

existing customers may not be required. 

Any Returned Power not used to 

establish the Post–2010 Resource Pool 

for the final allocation will continue to 

be used to reduce the need to acquire 

firming resources and other uses 

recognized under the Program. 

Availability of Information 

Documents developed or retained by 

Western in developing this Post–2010 

Resource Pool will be available for 

inspection and copying at the Upper 

Great Plains Regional Office in Billings, 

Montana. Written comments received 

on the proposed allocation will be 

available for viewing at http:// 

www.wapa.gov/ugp/Post2010/ 

default.htm after the close of the 

comment period. 

Proposed Allocation of Power 

Western received four applications 

from entities interested in an allocation 

of power from the Post–2010 Resource 

Pool. Review of the applications 

indicated that three of the four 

applicants did not qualify under the 

Final Post–2010 Resource Pool 

Allocation Procedures. The proposed 

allocation of power for the new eligible 

customer was calculated using the Final 

Post–2010 Resource Pool Allocation 

Procedures. The proposed summer 

allocation is 24.84413 percent of peak 

summer load; the proposed winter 

allocation is 35.98853 percent of peak 

winter load as defined in the Post–1985 

Marketing Plan criteria, under the Final 

Post–2010 Resource Pool Allocation 

Procedures. The proposed allocation of 

power for the new eligible customer and 

the load upon which this proposed 

allocation is based is as follows:

adjusted accordingly.

the proposed allocation of power must

Public Comment Forum described in the

comment period.
