Southwestern Power Administration

Notice of Robert D. Willis Proposed

Power Rate Change

AGENCY: Southwestern Power

Administration, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of Public Review and

Comment Period.

SUMMARY: The Administrator,

Southwestern, has prepared Current and

Revised 1997 Power Repayment Studies

for the Robert D. Willis (Willis) project

which show the need for an increase in

annual revenues required to meet cost

recovery criteria. The increase in the

revenues required was the result of an

increase in estimated Operations and

Maintenance costs by Corps of

Engineers and the increased amount of

large maintenance items estimated for

Willis. The Administrator has also

developed a proposed rate schedule for

the isolated Willis project to recover the

required revenues. The proposed rate

for the Willis project would increase

annual revenues approximately 13.5

percent from $266,928 to $302,928

beginning January 1, 1998.

DATES: The consultation and comment

period will begin on the date of

publication of this Federal Register and

will end November 10, 1997.

1. Public Information Forum—October

2, 1997, 9:30 a.m., Central Time in

Tulsa, OK

2. Public Comment Forum—October 29,

1997, 1:30 p.m., Central Time in

Tulsa, OK

Southwestern is only conducting a 45

day public notice and comment period

(10 CFR 903.14(d)) since the Willis

project is considered a minor

adjustment. In addition, this project has

a single hydroelectric power customer

and that customer has been notified of

the proposed rate increase. It is

anticipated that any comments from the

customer or other interested parties will

be developed well within the 45 day

period provided.

ADDRESSES: The Forums will be held in

Southwestern’s offices, Suite 1600,

Williams Center Tower I, One West

Third Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103.

Ten copies of the written comments

should be submitted to the Assistant
