Inc.

[Docket No. ER97–4322–000]

Take notice that on August 21, 1997,

Golden Spread Electric Cooperative, Inc.

tendered for filing proposed changes in

Exhibit B to its FERC Rate Schedules

Nos. 12–22 with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission pursuant to

35.13 of the Commission’s Regulations.

This filing seeks acceptance of Exhibit

B to Golden Spread’s Wholesale Power

Contracts, which will be a revenue

neutral change.

The rate schedule change is intended

to revise Golden Spread’s current rates

contained in Schedule A in order to

accommodate changes in Golden

Spread’s power supply arrangements.

Golden Spread’s power supply, due to

the construction of the Mustang Station

and the conversion to partial

requirements status from the current

Southwestern Public Service Company

(SPS) full requirements status, will be

significantly more diverse. The current

rate formula contained in Schedule A

will not allow Golden Spread to

accurately track and recover the costs

related to these changes in its power

supply to the Members. The rate

schedules contained in Exhibit B herein

will allow these costs to be accurately

tracked and recovered once the Mustang

Station begins commercial operation,

which is estimated to be the fourth

quarter of 1998.

Copies of this filing were served upon

Golden Spread’s jurisdictional

customers and the Public Utility

Commission of Texas.

Notice of Extension of Time for Filing

Requirements

September 15, 1997.

On September 12, 1997, the OASIS

How Working Group (How Group) filed

a letter requesting that the Commission

extend the due date for submittal of a

report on OASIS Phase II requirements.

The How Group requests that the report,

extension until October 31, 1997 is

required because: (1) The Commercial

Practices Working Group has joined the

effort to co-author the report, thus

necessitating greater coordination

efforts; and (2) it hopes to elicit

additional public and industry input on

the draft report, through surveys,

comments and workshops, in the

Western Area Power Administration

Transmission and Ancillary Services

Rates, Loveland Area Projects, Notice

of Proposed Rate Adjustments

AGENCY: Western Area Power

Administration, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rate

adjustments.

SUMMARY: The Western Area Power

Administration (Western) is proposing

transmission service and ancillary

service rate adjustments (proposed

rates) for the Loveland Area Projects

(LAP). This action is necessary because

the existing transmission rate (1993) is

no longer sufficient to recover annual

costs (including interest expense) and

capital requirements.

The Proposed Rates are scheduled to

go into effect April 1, 1998. Western

requests approval of a rate methodology

for each service. Once approved, the

rates will be adjusted on or about

October 1 each year by updating the

revenue requirement and load data to

the most currently available. This

Federal Register notice initiates the

formal process for the proposed rates.

The current firm transmission rate for

LAP expires January 31, 1999, but will

be superseded by this rate adjustment

for new and existing transmission

service. Heretofore, there have been no

rates for the six ancillary services

defined by Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (FERC) Order 888. Please

refer to Table 1 for a summary of the

Proposed Rates and their methodology.

DATES: The consultation and comment

period will begin on the date of

publication of this Federal Register

notice and will end December 18, 1997.

Written comments should be received

by Western by the end of the comment

period to be assured consideration.

Western will present a detailed

explanation of the proposed rate at the

public information forum which will be

held at the following date and time:

1. October 23, 1997—1 p.m. MDT,

Denver, CO.

Western will receive written and oral

comments at the public comment forum

which will be held at the following date

and time:

2. November 18, 1997—1 p.m. MST,

Denver, CO.
