57942 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 190 / Monday, October 2, 2006 / Notices 

Methodologies were established 

following section 302 of the Department 

of Energy (DOE) Organization Act (42 

U.S.C. 7152). This Act 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 system 

involved. 

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 the 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. 

Background 

This action is to further extend the 

existing Parker-Davis Project Rate Order 

No. WAPA–75 that was originally 

approved for 5 years, beginning 

November 1, 1997, through September 

30, 2002. See FERC Docket No. EF98–

5041–000, 82 FERC Par. 62,164 (March 

10, 1998). 

Rate Order No. WAPA–98, approved 

by the Secretary of Energy on September 

13, 2002 (67 FR 60655, September 26, 

2002), extended WAPA–75 through 

September 30, 2004. Rate Order WAPA–

113, approved by the Deputy Secretary 

on September 2, 2004 (69 FR 55429, 

September 14, 2004), extended WAPA–

75 through September 30, 2006. 

Discussion 

Western is currently conducting a 

formal re-marketing process for the 

Parker-Davis Project, which will 

increase the firm electric service 

capacity that will be available October 

1, 2008, creating a larger resource pool 

and making additional capacity and 

energy available to new contractors. 

Western seeks this extension to allow 

adequate time to consider the effect of 

additional firm electric service capacity 

on the rates and to consider the input 

of the public including the additional 

contractors. Western proposes to extend 

the current rate schedules to complete 

this analysis. On the Deputy Secretary 

of Energy’s approval, Rate Order No. 

WAPA–75, as extended, will be further 

extended under Rate Order No. WAPA–

131. 

Order 

In view of the above and under the 

authority delegated to me, I hereby 

extend for a period effective from 

October 1, 2006, through September 30, 

2008, the existing Firm Electric Service 

Rate Schedule PD–F6, and the 

Transmission Service Rate Schedules 

PD–FT6, PD–FCT6, and PD–NFT6. 

Dated: September 22, 2006. 

Clay Sell, 

Deputy Secretary.
