Southeastern Power Administration 

Proposed Rate Adjustment, Public 

Forum, and Opportunities for Public 

Review and Comment for GeorgiaAlabama-South Carolina System of 

Projects 

AGENCY: Southeastern Power 

Administration, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rate. 

SUMMARY: Southeastern Power 

Administration (Southeastern) proposes 

to revise existing schedules of rates and 

charges applicable to the sale of power 

from the Georgia-Alabama-South 

Carolina System of Projects effective for 

a 5-year period, October 1, 2012, 

through September 30, 2017. 

Additionally, opportunities will be 

available for interested persons to 

review the present rates and the 

proposed rates and supporting studies, 

to participate in a public forum and to 

submit written comments. Southeastern 

will evaluate all comments received in 

this process. 

DATES: Written comments are due on or 

before June 5, 2012. A public

held in Atlanta, Georgia, at 1 p.m. on 

April 24, 2012. Persons desiring to 

speak at the forum should notify 

Southeastern at least seven (7) days 

before the forum is scheduled, so that a 

list of forum participants can be 

prepared. Others may speak if time 

permits. If Southeastern has not been 

notified by close of business on April 

17, 2012, that at least one person 

intends to be present at the forum, the 

forum may be canceled with no further 

notice. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be submitted to: Administrator, 

Southeastern Power Administration, 

Department of Energy, 1166 Athens

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

(FERC) by order issued June 30, 2011 

(135 FERC ¶ 62,267), confirmed and 

approved on a final basis Wholesale 

Power Rate Schedules SOCO–1–D, 

SOCO–2–D, SOCO–3–D, SOCO–4–D, 

ALA–1–M, MISS–1–M, Duke-1–D,

Pump-2, Regulation-1, and 

Replacement-1 applicable to GeorgiaAlabama-South Carolina System of 

Projects’ power for a period ending 

September 30, 2015. 

Discussion: Existing rate schedules 

are predicated upon a July 2010 

repayment study and other supporting 

data. A repayment study prepared in 

February of 2012 shows that existing 

rates are not adequate to meet 

repayment criteria. This is due 

primarily to revenue from stream-flow 

energy that has been less than 

previously estimated as a result of 

below average water conditions, and 

increased U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

Operation & Maintenance expenses. 

The revised repayment study shows 

that a revenue increase of $21,913,000 

in fiscal year 2013 and all future years 

over the current repayment study will 

result in all costs being repaid within 

the term of these rate schedules or their 

service life. Therefore, Southeastern is 

proposing to revise the existing rates to 

generate this additional revenue. The 

rate adjustment is an increase of about 

ten percent (10%) in the revenue 

requirement and fifteen percent (15%) 

in the rates for capacity and energy. 

Southeastern is proposing the 

following rate schedules to be effective 

for the period from October 1, 2012 

through September 30, 2017.

generation revenues are recovered from 

capacity sales and 25 per cent are 

recovered from energy sales. These rates 

are expected to produce an average 

revenue increase of $22,124,000 million 

in FY 2013 and all future years. 

The rates for transmission, 

scheduling, reactive supply, and

apply to all four scenarios and are

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[EPA–HQ–OPPT–2012–0122; FRL–9340–8] 

Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and 

Status Information 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires 

any person who intends to manufacture 

(defined by statute to include import) a 

new chemical (i.e., a chemical not on 

the TSCA Chemical Substances 

Inventory (TSCA Inventory)) to notify 

EPA and comply with the statutory 

provisions pertaining to the 

manufacture of new chemicals. Under 

TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3), EPA 

is required to publish in the Federal 

Register a notice of receipt of a 

premanufacture notice (PMN) or an 

application for a test marketing 

exemption (TME), and to publish in the 

Federal Register periodic status reports 

on the new chemicals under review and 

the receipt of notices of commencement 

(NOC) to manufacture those chemicals. 

This document, which covers the period 

from February 1, 2012 to February 17, 

2012, and provides the required notice 

and status report, consists of the PMNs 

pending or expired, and the NOC to 

manufacture a new chemical that the 

Agency has received under TSCA 

section 5 during this time period. 

DATES: Comments identified by the 

specific PMN number or TME number, 

must be received on or before April 6, 

2012. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by docket identification (ID) 

number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2012–0122, 

and the specific PMN number or TME 

number for the chemical related to your 

comment, by one of the following 

methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-line 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Mail: Document Control Office

and Toxics (OPPT), Environmental 

Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania 

Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460–0001. 

• Hand Delivery: OPPT Document 

Control Office (DCO), EPA East Bldg., 

Rm. 6428, 1201 Constitution Ave. NW., 

Washington, DC. The DCO is open from 

8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through 

Friday, excluding legal holidays. The 

telephone number for the DCO is (202) 

564–8930. Such deliveries are only 

accepted during the DCO’s normal 

hours of operation, and special 

arrangements should be made for 

deliveries of boxed information. 

Instructions: EPA’s policy is that all 

comments received will be included in 

the docket without change and may be 

made available on-line at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through regulations.gov or 

email. The regulations.gov Web site is 

an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, which 

means EPA will not know your identity 

or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

If you send an email comment directly 

to EPA without going through 

regulations.gov, your email address will 

be automatically captured and included 

as part of the comment that is placed in 

the docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the docket 

are listed in the docket index available 

at http://www.regulations.gov. Although 

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Certain other

will be publicly available only in hard 

copy. Publicly available docket 

materials are available electronically at
