DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Western Area Power Administration 

Boulder Canyon Project 

AGENCY: Western Area Power 

Administration, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Base Charge 

and Rates Adjustment. 

SUMMARY: The Western Area Power 

Administration (Western) is proposing 

an adjustment to the Boulder Canyon 

Project (BCP) electric service base 

charge and rates. The current base 

charge and rates expire September 30, 

2009, under Rate Schedule BCP–F7. The 

current base charge is not sufficient to 

cover all annual costs including 

operation, maintenance, replacements, 

and interest expense, and to repay 

investment obligations within the 

required period. The proposed base 

charge will provide sufficient revenue to 

cover all annual costs and to repay 

investment obligations within the 

allowable period. A detailed rate 

package that identifies the reasons for 

the base charge and rates adjustment 

will be available in March 2009. The 

proposed base charge and rates are 

scheduled to become effective on 

October 1, 2009, and will remain in 

effect through September 30, 2010. This 

Federal Register notice initiates the 

formal process for the proposed base 

charge and rates. 

DATES: The consultation and comment 

period will begin today and will end 

May 4, 2009. Western will present a 

detailed explanation of the proposed 

base charge and rates at a public 

information forum on April 1, 2009, 

beginning at 10:30 a.m. MST, in 

Phoenix, AZ. Western will accept oral 

and written comments at a public 

comment forum on April 22, 2009, 

beginning at 10:30 a.m. MST at the same 

location. Western will accept written 

comments any time during the 

consultation and comment period. 

ADDRESSES: The public information 

forum and public comment forum will 

be held at the Desert Southwest 

Customer Service Regional Office, 

located at 615 South 43rd Avenue, 

Phoenix, AZ, on the dates cited above. 

Written comments should be sent to 

Darrick Moe, Regional Manager, Desert 

Southwest Customer Service Region, 

Western Area Power Administration, 

P.O. Box 6457, Phoenix, AZ 85005– 

6457, e-mail moe@wapa.gov. Written 

comments may also be faxed to (602) 

605–2490, attention: Jack Murray. 

Western will post information about the 

rate process on its Web site at http:// 

www.wapa.gov/dsw/pwrmkt/BCP/ 

RateAdjust.htm. Western will post 

official comments received via letter, 

fax, and e-mail to its Web site after the 

close of the comment period. Western 

must receive written comments by the 

end of the consultation and comment 

period to ensure they are considered in 

Western’s decision process. 

As access to Western facilities is 

controlled, any U.S. citizen wishing to 

attend any meeting held at Western 

must present an official form of picture 

identification, such as a U.S. driver’s 

license, U.S. passport, U.S. Government 

ID, or U.S. Military ID, at the time of the 

meeting. Foreign nationals should 

contact Western at least 45 days in 

advance of the meeting to obtain the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Jack Murray, Rates Manager, Desert 

Southwest Customer Service Region, 

Western Area Power Administration,

jmurray@wapa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed base charge and rates for BCP 

electric service are designed to recover 

an annual revenue requirement that 

includes the investment repayment, 

interest, operation and maintenance, 

replacements, payments to states, visitor 

services, and uprating payments. The 

total costs are offset by the projected 

revenue from water sales, visitor center, 

water pumping energy sales, facilities 

use charges, regulation and spinning 

reserve services, miscellaneous leases, 

and late fees. The annual revenue 

requirement is the base charge for 

electric service and is divided equally 

between capacity dollars and energy 

dollars. Annual energy dollars are 

divided by annual energy sales, and 

annual capacity dollars are divided by 

annual capacity sales to determine the 

proposed energy rate and the proposed 

capacity rate.
