calendar year 2013. Therefore, Western 

proposed extending the usage of the 

current transmission service formula 

rate schedules through calendar year 

2015 pursuant to 10 CFR 903.23(a) 

under Rate Order No. WAPA–158. 

As allowed by 10 CFR 903.23(a) 

Western provided for a consultation and 

comment period on Proposed Extension 

WAPA–158, but did not conduct public 

information forums or public comment 

forums. The consultation and comment 

period ended on September 6, 2012. No 

comments were received. 

Following review of Western’s 

proposal within the Department of 

Energy, I hereby approve Rate Order No. 

WAPA–158 which extends 

Transmission Service Rate Schedules 

CAP–FT2, CAP–NFT2, and CAP–NITS2 

on an interim basis effective as of 

January 1, 2013. This order places the 

rates schedules into effect without 30 

days notice to avoid financial 

difficulties that may be created by 

questions concerning the applicable 

rates. A 30-day delay in effective date is 

also unnecessary given that the rate 

setting formulas remain unchanged from 

the previous formulas in effect until 

December 31, 2012. Rate Order No. 

WAPA–158 will be submitted promptly 

to FERC for confirmation and approval 

on a final basis. 

Dated: March 15, 2013.

In the Matter of: Western Area Power 

Administration, Rate Extension for Central 

Arizona Project Transmission Service Rate 

Schedules. 

Order Confirming and Approving an 

Extension of the Central Arizona Project 

Transmission Service Rate Schedules 

Section 302 of the Department of 

Energy (DOE) Organization Act (42 

U.S.C. 7152) 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 

involved. 

By Delegation Order No. 00–037.00, 

effective December 6, 2001, the 

Secretary of Energy delegated (1) the 

authority to develop long-term 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 (FERC). This extension of 

the rate schedules is issued pursuant to 

the Delegation Order and DOE rate 

extension procedures at 10 CFR 

903.23(a). 

Background 

On June 29, 2006, in Docket No. 

EF06–5111–000 at 115 FERC 62,326 

FERC issued an order confirming, 

approving, and placing into effect on a 

final basis the Transmission Service 

Rate Schedules CAP–FT2, CAP–NFT2 

and CAP–NITS2 for the Central Arizona 

Project (CAP). The Transmission Service 

Rate Schedules, Rate Order No. WAPA– 

124,1 were approved for 5 years 

beginning December 23, 2005, through 

December 31, 2010.2 Rate Order No. 

WAPA–153 3 extended these rate 

schedules for a 2-year period, beginning 

January 1, 2011, and ending December 

31, 2012. Western is requesting a further 

extension of the approval period for the 

CAP Transmission Service Rate 

Schedules, incorporated by reference 

herein, under Rate Order No. WAPA– 

158, through December 31, 2015. 

Discussion 

Western’s existing formula 

transmission service rates for the 

Central Arizona Project 115kV and 

230kV transmission facilities, which are 

recalculated annually, are expected to 

continue to sufficiently recover project 

expenses (including interest) and capital 

requirements through December 31, 

2015. However, on December 31, 2012, 

the approval period for rate schedules 

CAP–FT2, CAP–NFT2 and CAP–NITS2, 

under which these rates are calculated, 

ended. This makes it necessary to 

extend the approval period for the 

existing rate schedules under 10 CFR 

903.23(a). 

Order 

In view of the above and under the 

authority delegated to me, I hereby 

extend the existing Transmission Rate 

Schedules CAP–FT2, CAP–NFT2, and 

CAP–NITS2 for transmission service for 

the Central Arizona Project of the 

Western Area Power Administration on 

an interim basis. The existing 

Transmission Rate Schedules CAP–FT2, 

CAP–NFT2, AND CAP–NITS2 for 

transmission service for the Central 

Arizona Project of the Western Area 

Power Administration, shall remain in 

effect pending FERC confirmation and 

approval of their extension or substitute 

rates on a final basis through December 

31, 2015. 

Dated: March 15, 2013.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[FRL–9793–9] 

Public Water System Supervision 

Program Approval for the State of 

Michigan 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the EPA has tentatively approved five 

revisions to the State of Michigan’s 

public water system supervision 

program. Michigan has revised several 

of its rules to comply with the National 

Primary Drinking Water Regulations, 

including the Ground Water Rule, the 

Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection 

Byproducts Rule, the Long-Term 2 

Enhanced Surface Water Treatment 

Rule, the Lead and Copper Rule Short 

Term Revisions, and the Lead and 

Copper Rule Minor Revisions. These 

rules better protect public health by 

controlling microbial contaminants and 

disinfection byproducts, and streamline 

existing lead and copper rule 

requirements. 

EPA has determined that these 

revisions are no less stringent than the 

corresponding federal regulations. 

Therefore, EPA intends to approve these 

revisions, thereby giving the Michigan 

Department of Environmental Quality 

primary enforcement responsibility for 

these regulations. This approval action 

does not extend to public water systems 

in Indian Country, as the term is defined 

in 18 U.S.C. 1151. By approving these 

rules, EPA does not intend to affect the 

rights of federally recognized Indian 

Tribes in Michigan, nor does it intend 

to limit existing rights of the State of 

Michigan. 

DATES: Any interested person may 

request a public hearing. A request for 

a public hearing must be submitted to 

the Regional Administrator at the EPA 

Region 5 address shown below by April 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 58 / Tuesday, March 26, 2013 / Notices 18337 

25, 2013. If a substantial request for a 

public hearing is made within the 

requested timeframe, a public hearing 

will be held and a notice of such 

hearing will be given in the Federal 

Register and a newspaper of general 

circulation. The Regional Administrator 

may deny frivolous or insubstantial 

requests for a hearing. If EPA Region 5 

does not receive a timely and 

appropriate request for a hearing and 

the Regional Administrator does not 

elect to hold a hearing on her own 

motion, this determination shall become 

final and effective on April 25, 2013. 

Any request for a public hearing shall 

include the following information: the 

name, address, and telephone number of 

the individual, organization, or other 

entity requesting a hearing; a brief 

statement of the requesting person’s 

interest in the Regional Administrator’s 

determination and a brief statement of 

the information that the requesting 

person intends to submit at such 

hearing; and the signature of the 

individual making the request, or, if the 

request is made on behalf of an 

organization or other entity, the 

signature of a responsible official of the 

organization or other entity. 

ADDRESSES: All documents relating to 

this determination are available for 

inspection at the following offices:
