voltages and points of delivery

established by contract over the CAP

115-kV/230-kV transmission system.

Formula Rate For Firm Point-to-Point

Transmission Service:

Annual Rate = Five Year Average

Annual Revenue Requirement

divided by the Five Year Average

Contract Rate of Delivery, rounded

to the penny.

Monthly Rate = Annual Rate divided by

12, rounded to the penny.

Calculated Rates: For FY 2001, the

annual firm rate calculates to $9.83 per

kWyear, and the monthly firm rate

calculates to $0.82 per kWmonth. Based

on updated financial and load data,

recalculated rates will go into effect on

January 1 of each year during the

effective rate schedule period.

Adjustments

For Reactive Power: There shall be no

entitlement to transfer of reactive

kilovoltamperes at delivery points,

except when such transfers may be

mutually agreed upon by contractor and

contracting officer or their authorized

representatives.

For Losses: Capacity and energy losses

incurred in connection with the

transmission and delivery of capacity

and energy under this rate schedule

shall be supplied by the customer in

accordance with the service contract.

Billing for Unauthorized Overruns:

For each billing period in which there

is a contract violation involving an

unauthorized overrun of the contractual

firm transmission obligations, such

overrun shall be billed at 10 times the

above rates.

Central Arizona Project

Schedule of Rate(s) for Nonfirm Pointto-Point Cap 115-kV/230-kV

Transmission Service

[Rate Schedule CAP–FT1]

Effective: The first day of the first full

billing period beginning on or after

January 1, 2001, through December 31,

2005.

Available: In the marketing area

served by the Central Arizona Project

115-kV/230-kV transmission system.

Applicable: The transmission service

customer shall compensate the Central

Arizona Project (CAP) for nonfirm

point-to-point transmission service

where capacity and energy are supplied

to the CAP 115-kV/230-kV transmission

system at points of interconnection with

other systems, transmitted subject to the

availability of the transmission capacity,

and delivered less losses, to points of

delivery on the CAP 115-kV/230-kV

system specified in the service contract.

Character and Conditions of Service:

Alternating current at 60 Hertz, threephase, delivered and metered at the

voltages and points of delivery

established by contract over the CAP

115-kV/230-kV transmission system.

Formula Rate for Nonfirm Point-toPoint Transmission Service: Nonfirm

Point-To-Point Transmission Service

Rate: Each Contractor shall be billed

monthly a mills per kilowatthour rate of

scheduled or delivered kilowatthours at

point of delivery, established by

contract, payable monthly. This rate is

equal to the CAP 115-kV/230-kV Firm

Transmission dollar per kilowatt-year

rate then in effect divided by 8,760,

multiplied by 1,000, rounded to two

decimal places.

Calculated Rate: For FY 2001, the

nonfirm rate calculates to 1.12 mills/

kWh. Based on updated financial and

load data, a recalcualted rate will go

into effect on January 1 of each year

during the effective rate schedule

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Western Area Power Administration

Proposed Salt Lake City Area

Integrated Projects Firm Power Rate

Formula Adder

AGENCY: Western Area Power

Administration, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of extension of comment

and consultation period.

SUMMARY: The Western Area Power

Administration’s (Western) Colorado

River Storage Project (CRSP)

Management Center (MC) published a

Notice of Proposed Salt Lake City Area

Integrated Projects (SLCA/IP) Firm

Power Rate Formula Adder in the

Federal Register (65 FR 66995) on

November 8, 2000. This notice extends

the comment and consultation period by

3 weeks. The MC plans to have the rate

formula adder become effective March

1, 2001, instead of February 1, 2001, as

was previously stated in the Federal

Register, dated November 8, 2000.

DATES: The consultation and comment

period will end on December 29, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be

sent to: Mr. Dave Sabo, CRSP Manager,

CRSP Management Center, Western

Area Power Administration, P.O. Box

11606, Salt Lake City, UT 84147–0606,

e-mail sabo@wapa.gov. Western must

receive written comments by the end of

the consultation and comment period to

assure consideration.

Carol Loftin, Rates Manager, CRSP

Procedural Requirements

Since the proposed rate formula adder

constitutes a major rate adjustment as

defined at 10 CFR 903.2, both public

information forums and public

comment forums have been held.

However, the consultation and comment

period has been shortened because of

the financial hardship faced by the

CRSP Basin Fund. After reviewing

public comments, Western will

recommend that the proposed rate

formula adder or a revised proposed rate

formula adder be approved on an

interim basis by the DOE Deputy

Secretary.

The proposed rate formula adder to

the SLCA/IP firm power rates is being

established pursuant to the Department

of Energy Organization Act, 42 U.S.C.

7101–7352; the Reclamation Act of

1902, ch. 1093, 32 Stat. 388, as amended

and supplemented by subsequent

enactments, particularly section 9(c) of

the Reclamation Project Act of 1939, 43

U.S.C. 485h(c); and other acts

specifically applicable to the projects

involved.

By Amendment No. 3 to Delegation

Order No. 0204–108, published

November 10, 1993 (58 FR 59716), the

Secretary of DOE delegated (1) the

authority to develop long-term power

and transmission rates on a

nonexclusive basis to the Administrator

of Western; and (2) the authority to

confirm, approve, and place into effect

on a final basis, to remand, or to

disapprove such rates to FERC. In

Delegation Order No. 0204–172,

effective November 24, 1999, the

Secretary of Energy delegated the

authority to confirm, approve, and place

such rates into effect on an interim basis

to the Deputy Secretary. Existing DOE

procedures for public participation in

power rate adjustments are found at 10

CFR part 903.

Availability of Information

All studies, comments, letters,

memorandums, or other documents

made or kept by Western for developing

the proposed rates are and will be made

available for inspection and copying at

the CRSP Management Center, located

at 150 East Social Hall Avenue, Suite

300, Salt Lake City, UT 84111–1534.

Regulatory Procedural Requirements

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980

(5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.) requires Federal

agencies to perform a regulatory

flexibility analysis if a final rule is likely

to have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities

and there is a legal requirement to issue

a general notice of proposed

rulemaking. Western has determined

that this action does not require a

regulatory flexibility analysis since it is

a rulemaking of particular applicability

involving rates or services applicable to

public property.

Environmental Compliance

In compliance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.);

Council on Environmental Quality

Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508);

and DOE NEPA Regulations (10 CFR

part 1021), Western determined that this

action is categorically excluded from the

preparation of an environmental

assessment or an environmental impact

statement.

Determination Under Executive Order

12866

Western has an exemption from

centralized regulatory review under

Executive Order 12866; accordingly, no

clearance of this notice by the Office of

Management and Budget is required.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act

Western has determined that this rule

is exempt from Congressional

notification requirements under 5 U.S.C.

801 because the action is a rulemaking

of particular applicability relating to

rates or services and involves matters of

procedure.

Dated: November 27, 2000.

Administrator.
