75284 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 232 / Friday, December 1, 2000 / Notices

b. For purposes of calculating and

applying the ACA, the following

definitions will apply:

(1) ‘‘Adjusted Augmentation Costs’’

(AAC) means the dollar cost of meeting

AAMT separately for the HLH and LLH

in the month.

(2) ‘‘Augmentation Amount’’ (AAMT)

means the total amount of augmentation

in flat annual aMWs forecasted by BPA

in its Amended ROD for the 2002 rate

case to serve public, DSI, IOU, and

Preexisting Contracts less augmentation

purchases made by BPA prior to August

1, 2000.

(3) ‘‘Augmentation Cost Adjustment’’

(ACA) means the adjustment to the slice

rate to recognize the difference between

the cost of acquiring the AAMT at 28.1,

and the adjusted cost basis of acquiring

the AAMT that is described herein.

(4) ‘‘Augmentation Pre-Purchase’’

(APP) means a contract or other binding

obligation entered into by BPA for the

delivery of energy and/or capacity

necessary to meet AAMT for that month

with purchases prior to that month.

(5) ‘‘Baseline Net Augmentation

Costs’’ (BNAC) means the cost of

augmentation for the month that slice

customers already bear in the Slice rate

to meet AAMT, and for purposes of

calculating ACA, shall be determined as

follows:

BNAC=(AAMT * 28.1 * Hours in the

month)

(6) ‘‘INDEX’’ means the weighted

average of 50 percent of Firm Dow Jones

COB flat and 50 percent of Firm MidColumbia Flat for HLH, and separately,

for LLH for the month. If one or more

of these indexes are abolished or are

determined to no longer provide a

reasonable measure of market cost, BPA

and Slice purchasers shall establish

replacement index(s).

(7) ‘‘Net Adjusted Augmentation Cost

Calculation’’ (NAAC) means the TAAC

for the month minus the BNAC for the

month

(8) ‘‘Total Cost of Augmentation PrePurchases’’ (TCAPP) means the cost in

dollars for the APP made to meet AAMT

for the month.

(9) ‘‘Total Adjusted Augmentation

Cost’’ (TAAC) means the gross adjusted

cost of meeting AAMT for the month as

determined below.

c. Frequency of ACA Calculation

The adjustment frequency is monthly

during the rate period for each month in

the rate period. The first month for

which an ACA will be determined will

be October 2001 and the last month for

which an ACA will be determined is

September 2006.

d. Determining APP Quantity and

Cost for the Month

BPA will maintain records of APP

made to meet AAMT identified in (d)

noting the amounts (in MWh’s and/or

MW’s and/or aMW’s) for each month by

Heavy Load Hour (HLH)) and Light

Load Hour (LLH) and the cost. BPA will

keep separate tallies of HLH and LLH,

and will report these results in an

aggregate form for HLH and LLH

separately.

e. Calculation of the Adjusted

Augmentation Cost (AAC)

These calculations will be separately

performed for the HLH in the month

and the LLH in the month.

1. If APP for the month is greater than

AAMT for the month,

AAC = [(AAMT/APP) * TCAPP]

2. If APP for the month is equal to

AAMT for the month,

AAC = TCAPP

3. If APP for the month is less than

AAMT for the month,

AAC = [TCAPP] + [(AAMT–APP) *

INDEX * Hours]

f. Calculation of Total Adjusted

Augmentation Costs (TAAC)

Once a separate AAC has been

calculated for the HLH and LLH for the

month, these will be summed to

determine the TAAC for the month.

g. Calculation of the Net Adjusted

Augmentation Cost (NAAC)

NAAC for the month shall be

determined as follows:

NAAC = TAAC–BNAC

h. Calculation of ACA

ACA for the month shall be determined

as follows:

ACA = NAAC/100

i. Adjusting Customer’s Bill

A credit to a customer’s bill shall

occur if ACA is negative. A debit shall

occur if ACA is positive.

The amount of credit or debit to

appear on an individual customer’s bill

shall be determined using the ACA for

that month and the customer’s slice

share.

The resulting dollar adjustment shall

appear on the bill as a separate line item

on the first bill following the calculation

of ACA.
