extend the existing Washoe Project,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Regina Rieger, Rates Manager, Sierra 

Nevada Region, Western Area Power 

Administration, 114 Parkshore Drive, 

Folsom, CA 95630–4710, (916) 353–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

existing formula rate provides sufficient 

revenue to recover annual expenses, 

interest, and capital requirements, 

within the cost recovery criteria set 

forth in DOE Order RA 6120.2; 

therefore, WAPA proposes to extend the 

current formula rate schedule for five 

years. 

By Delegation Order No. 00–037.00A, 

effective October 25, 2013, the Secretary 

of Energy delegated: (1) The authority to 

develop power and transmission rates to 

WAPA’s Administrator; (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). 

FERC confirmed and approved the 

Washoe Project non-firm power formula 

rate, Rate Schedule SNF–7, on April 16, 

2009,1 and the subsequent extension on 

September 5, 2013.2 In accordance with 

10 CFR part 903.23(a), WAPA proposes 

to extend the existing formula rate for 

the period October 1, 2017, through 

September 30, 2022. 

By way of background, Congress 

declared all Washoe Project costs nonreimbursable except the Stampede 

Powerplant.3 The average Stampede 

generation, approximately 10 gigawatt 

hours annually, is used principally to 

provide energy for two Federal fish 

hatcheries. Since the Washoe Project 

has no Federally-owned transmission 

lines, WAPA contracted with Truckee 

Donner Public Utility District and the 

City of Fallon (TDPUD/Fallon) to accept 

Stampede generation and serve project 

use loads. Energy in excess of project 

use loads is integrated with the Central 

Valley Project (CVP) and marketed 

under the 2004 Power Marketing Plan. 

Pursuant to Rate Schedule SNF–7, each 

year, any remaining reimbursable 

expenses, in excess of the revenue 

collected under the TDPUD/Fallon 

contract, are transferred to the CVP and 

incorporated into the CVP power 

revenue requirement. 

In accordance with 10 CFR part 

903.23(a)(2), WAPA determined it is not 

necessary to hold a public information 

or public comment forum, but is 

providing a 30-day comment period. 

Comments must be received by the end 

of the comment period. WAPA will post 

comments received to its Web site, 

https://www.wapa.gov/regions/SN/ 

rates/Pages/rates.aspx. After 

considering public comments, WAPA 

will take further action on the proposed 

formula rate extension consistent with 

10 CFR part 903.23(a).
