2007. 

DATES: Submit written comments on the 

direct billing of the TPUD assessment 

on or before August 18, 2006 to the 

address below. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this 

change in process for collecting the 

TPUD assessment should be addressed 

to the Bureau of Reclamation, Attention: 

Tom Ruthford, MP–3600, 2800 Cottage 

Way, Sacramento, CA 95825. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

or E-mail: kthompson@mp.usbr.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Beginning 

in Fiscal Year 2001 and thereafter, 

Public Law 106–377, Section 203 

required Reclamation to collect 

annually from CVP water contractors an 

assessment for TPUD. Section 203 

states: ‘‘Beginning in fiscal year 2001 

and thereafter, the Secretary of the 

Interior shall assess and collect annually 

from Central Valley Project (CVP) water 

and power contractors the sum of 

$540,000 (June 2000 price levels) and 

remit, without further appropriation, the 

amount collected annually to the Trinity 

Public Utilities District (TPUD). This 

assessment shall be payable 70 percent 

by CVP Preference Power Customers 

and 30 percent by CVP Water 

Customers. The CVP Water Contractor 

share of this assessment shall be 

collected by the Secretary through 

established Bureau of Reclamation 

(Reclamation) Operation and 

Maintenance rate setting practices. The 

CVP Power Contractor share of this 

assessment shall be assessed by 

reclamation to the Western Area Power 

Administration, Sierra Nevada Region 

(Western), and collected by Western 

through established power rate setting 

practices.’’

Prior to FY 2006, these funds had 

been collected as a component of the 

water rates through the water rate 

setting process. Further, the Mid-Pacific 

Region’s system to account for water 

deliveries and resultant revenues remits 

revenue directly to the U.S. Treasury. 

While this is appropriate for water 

revenues, the system is not capable of 

collecting and accounting for the TPUD 

assessment separately from water 

revenue. Consequently, the Mid-Pacific 

Region is in the process of (1) 

developing a supplementary rate setting 

policy to collect the TPUD assessment 

separately from water revenue; (2) 

analyzing the extent of system changes, 

costs, and time required to account for 

TPUD assessment separately from water 

revenues; and (3) identifying and 

implementing preferred system changes. 

As an interim measure, the MidPacific Region will bill water 

contractors for the TPUD assessment. 

Billings will cover collections for Fiscal 

Years 2006 and 2007 and the TPUD 

surcharge will be eliminated from the 

published water rates for this time 

period.

Deputy Regional Director, Mid-Pacific Region.
