3652 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 13 / Friday, January 19, 2024 / Notices 

4The determination was done in compliance with 

the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4321–4347, the 

Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for 

implementing NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508); and 

DOE NEPA Implementing Procedures and 

Guidelines (10 CFR part 1021). 

provide sufficient revenue to pay annual 

costs, including interest expense, and 

repay investment within the allowable 

period consistent with the cost recovery 

criteria set forth in Department of 

Energy (DOE) Order RA 6120.2. 

This extension will allow CRSP MC 

and RM to proceed with final 

negotiations for membership in the 

Southwest Power Pool Regional 

Transmission Organization (SPP RTO), 

with potential membership beginning in 

or around April 2026, after which CRSP 

MC and RM would no longer provide 

this transmission service. DSW would 

evaluate whether it will continue selling 

this service beyond that date, as will 

CRSP MC and RM if their proposed 

integration into the SPP RTO is delayed 

or is not successful. 

In accordance with 10 CFR 903.23(a), 

CRSP MC, DSW, and RM have 

determined it is not necessary to hold a 

public information or public comment 

forum for this action but are initiating 

a 14-day consultation and comment 

period to give the public an opportunity 

to comment on the proposed extension. 

CRSP MC, DSW, and RM will review 

and consider all timely public 

comments at the conclusion of the 

consultation and comment period and 

adjust the proposal as appropriate.
