89622 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 13, 2024 / Notices 

following the transfer of USAMRDC 

components to DHA R&D, the Deputy 

Assistant Secretary of Defense for 

Science and Technology Foundations 

designated DHA R&D as a DoD STRL. 

DHA R&D has implemented the 

USAMRDC personnel demonstration 

project authorities for the DHA R&D 

components that were formerly 

subordinate components of USAMRDC. 

This notice proposes to implement the 

personnel demonstration project for all 

DHA R&D components by adopting the 

USAMRDC personnel demonstration 

project plan and other flexibilities 

available to all DoD STRLs. 

The purpose of the demonstration 

project is to demonstrate that the 

effectiveness of DoD organizations can 

be enhanced by allowing greater 

managerial control over personnel 

functions and, at the same time, expand 

the opportunities available to employees 

through a more responsive and flexible 

personnel system. 

2. DHA R&D Personnel Demonstration 

Project Plan 

The demonstration project will cover 

approximately 1,224 DHA R&D 

positions. Approximately 59 percent of 

covered positions are at the following 

DHA R&D organizations located at Fort 

Detrick, Maryland: Medical Research 

and Development, Telemedicine and 

Advanced Technology Research, 

Medical Research Institute of Infectious 

Disease, Medical Research Acquisition 

Activity, and Medical Materiel 

Development Activity. The remaining 

positions are at the following sites: 

Medical Research Institute of Chemical 

Defense, Aberdeen Proving Ground, 

Maryland; Walter Reed Institute of 

Research, Forest Glen, Silver Spring, 

Maryland; Institute of Surgical Research 

and the Burn Center Directorate, Joint 

Base San Antonio, Texas. The majority 

of these positions transferred to DHA 

R&D from USAMRDC. DHA R&D has 

successfully implemented the 

USAMRDC personnel demonstration 

project authorities for DHA R&D 

components that were formerly 

subordinate organizations of 

USAMRDC. Based on experience gained 

and following careful consideration, 

DHA R&D has determined to conduct a 

personnel demonstration project for all 

DHA R&D components by adopting the 

USAMRDC personnel demonstration 

project plan and other flexibilities 

available to all DoD STRLs. 

The DHA R&D will adopt the 

USAMRDC Personnel Demonstration 

Project plan outlined in 63 FR 10440 

(March 3, 1998), including the following 

modifications approved pursuant to 

DoD Instruction 3201.05: minor 

modification to administrative 

occupational family, DJ 03 and 04 band 

structure of occupational series 1102 

only (February 3, 2011); minor 

modification to pay for performance 

payment timeframe (January 5, 2018); 

minor modification to participating 

occupational series (November 28, 

2022). Upon implementation of this 

personnel demonstration project, DHA 

R&D will also adopt the following 

flexibilities that are available to all DoD 

STRLs: 

• 89 FR 44648 (May 21, 2024) 

• 88 FR 10874 (February 22, 2023)

Part III—Public Participation in TC–26 

Part IV—Summary of Proposed Modifications 

to Bonneville’s Tariff 

Part V—Proposed Tariff 

Part I—Introduction and Procedural 

Matters 

A. Introduction and Procedural 

Background 

The Bonneville Project Act of 1937, as 

reaffirmed in the Pacific Northwest 

Electric Power Planning and 

Conservation Act, grants the Bonneville 

Administrator broad authority to enter 

into contracts upon such terms and 

conditions and in such manner as the 

Bonneville Administrator may deem 

necessary. Bonneville’s Tariff provides 

the generally applicable terms and 

conditions for transmission and 

interconnection service across the 

Federal Columbia River Transmission 

System (FCRTS). Section 9 of the Tariff 

provides that the Bonneville 

Administrator may use the procedures 

set forth in section 212(i)(2)(A) of the 

Federal Power Act to establish and 

modify non-rate terms and conditions of 

the Tariff. The section 212(i)(2)(A) 

procedures include giving notice in the 

Federal Register and conducting a 

hearing that adheres to the procedural 

requirements of paragraphs (1) through 

(3) of section 7(i) of the Northwest 

Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 839e(i) (the same 

procedures Bonneville uses to set rates). 

In accordance with these procedures, 

the Hearing Officer conducts one or 

more hearings as expeditiously as 

practicable to develop a full and 

complete record. Unless the Hearing 

Officer becomes unavailable to 

Bonneville, upon conclusion of the 

hearing, the Hearing Officer shall make 

a recommended decision to the 

Bonneville Administrator, and the 

Bonneville Administrator then makes a 

separate and final determination to 

establish or modify the Tariff terms and 

conditions (discussed further in Part III, 

Section C of this notice). 

Bonneville’s Rules of Procedure 

govern the TC–26 tariff proceeding. The 

rules are posted on Bonneville’s website 

at https://www.bpa.gov/energy-andservices/rate-and-tariff-proceedings/ 

rules-of-procedure-revision-process. 

B. Proposed Settlement for 

Modifications to the Tariff 

Starting in late August, Bonneville 

engaged its transmission and 

interconnection customers and 

stakeholders in an attempt to reach 

settlement of the modifications to the 

Tariff for the TC–26 tariff proceeding. 

These discussions have resulted in the 

TC–26 Settlement Agreement, which 

includes the proposed Tariff 

modifications Bonneville is proposing 

to adopt in the TC–26 tariff proceeding, 

and a BP–26 Partial Rates Settlement 

Agreement, which includes the terms of 

the Generator Interconnection 

Withdrawal Charge that Bonneville is 

proposing to adopt in the separate 

Power and Transmission Rate 

Adjustment hearing (BP–26 proceeding). 

On October 1, 2024, Bonneville 

posted the TC–26 Settlement Agreement 

and the BP–26 Partial Rates Settlement 

Agreement on Bonneville’s website and 

set a deadline of October 15, 2024, for 

customers and stakeholders to inform 

Bonneville of any objections to the 

settlement agreements. Bonneville did 

not receive any objections by the 

deadline. A summary of Bonneville’s 

proposed Tariff modifications is 

provided in Part IV of this notice. A link 

to the TC–26 Settlement Agreement and 

proposed Tariff are provided in Part V. 

The TC–26 Settlement Agreement 

calls for Bonneville to file a motion with 

the Hearing Officer to establish a 

deadline for parties to either object to 

the proposed settlement or waive the 

right to contest the settlement. If no 

parties object to the settlement by the 

deadline set by the Hearing Officer, 

Bonneville’s motion would request the 

Hearing Officer to issue a decision 

recommending the Bonneville 

Administrator adopt the TC–26 

Settlement Agreement. Bonneville 

intends to file its motion soon after the 

TC–26 prehearing conference. 

If a party objects to the TC–26 

Settlement Agreement or objects to the 

BP–26 Partial Rates Settlement 

Agreement in the BP–26 proceeding, 

Bonneville will notify all parties and 

decide how to proceed. 

C. Proposed Procedural Schedule 

A proposed schedule for the 

proceeding is provided below. The 

proposed schedule assumes there are no 

objections to the proposed settlement in 

the TC–26 tariff proceeding. The official 

schedule will be established by the 

Hearing Officer and may be amended by 

the Hearing Officer as needed during the 

proceeding.

D. Ex Parte Communications 

Section 1010.5 of the Rules of 

Procedure prohibits ex parte 

communications. Ex parte 

communications include any oral or 

written communication (1) relevant to 

the merits of any issue in the 

proceeding; (2) that is not on the record; 

and (3) with respect to which reasonable 

prior notice has not been given. The ex 

parte rule applies to communications 

with all Bonneville and DOE employees 

and contractors, the Hearing Officer, 

and the Hearing Clerk during the 

proceeding. Except as provided, any 

communications with persons covered 

by the rule regarding the merits of any 

issue in the proceeding by other 

Executive Branch agencies, Congress, 

existing or potential Bonneville 

customers, nonprofit or public interest 

groups, or any other non-DOE parties 

are prohibited. The rule explicitly 

excludes and does not prohibit 

communications (1) relating to matters 

of procedure; (2) otherwise authorized 

by law or the Rules of Procedure; (3) 

from or to the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (Commission); (4) that all 

litigants agree may be made on an ex 

parte basis; (5) in the ordinary course of 

business, about information required to 

be exchanged under contracts, or in 

information responding to a Freedom of 

Information Act request; (6) between the 

Hearing Officer and Hearing Clerk; (7) in 

meetings for which prior notice has 

been given; or (8) otherwise specified in 

section 1010.5(b) of the Rules of 

Procedure. The ex parte rule is effective 

upon publication of this FRN and 

remains in effect until the Bonneville 

Administrator’s Final ROD is issued. 

Part II—Scope of the TC–26 Tariff 

Proceeding 

The TC–26 tariff proceeding involves 

the proposed modifications to 

Bonneville’s Tariff described in Part IV. 

This section provides guidance to the 

Hearing Officer regarding the specific 

issues that are outside the scope of the 

TC–26 tariff proceeding. In addition to 

the issues specifically listed below, any 

other issue that is not a Tariff term or 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
89624 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 13, 2024 / Notices 

condition issue is outside the scope of 

this proceeding. 

Bonneville may revise the scope of 

the proceeding to include new issues 

that arise as a result of circumstances or 

events occurring outside the proceeding 

that are substantially related to the 

Tariff terms and conditions under 

consideration in the proceeding. See 

Rules of Procedure section 

1010.4(b)(8)(iii), (iv). If Bonneville 

revises the scope of the proceeding to 

include new issues, Bonneville will 

provide public notice on its website, 

present testimony or other information 

regarding such issues, and provide a 

reasonable opportunity to intervene and 

respond to Bonneville’s testimony or 

other information. Id. 

A. Business Practices 

Bonneville’s business practices 

provide implementation details for the 

Tariff and are outside the scope of the 

TC–26 tariff proceeding. Bonneville’s 

decisions regarding business practices 

are determined in other forums and 

follow the procedures in Bonneville’s 

Business Practice Process. If business 

practices are developed for the proposed 

terms and conditions in this proceeding, 

such development will occur outside 

the terms and conditions proceeding. 

Pursuant to section 1010.4(b)(8) of the 

Rules of Procedure, the Bonneville 

Administrator directs the Hearing 

Officer to exclude from the record all 

argument, testimony, or other evidence 

that proposes or challenges Bonneville’s 

current and future business practices. 

B. Customer-Specific Contracts and 

Disputes 

Contracts and contract disputes 

between Bonneville and its customers 

are outside the scope of the TC–26 tariff 

proceeding. Pursuant to section 

1010.4(b)(8) of the Rules of Procedure, 

the Bonneville Administrator directs the 

Hearing Officer to exclude from the 

record all argument, testimony, or other 

evidence related to contracts and 

contract disputes of Bonneville 

customers. 

C. Oversupply Management Protocol 

The Oversupply Management 

Protocol (Tariff Attachment P) includes 

the Tariff requirements and procedures 

used to moderate total dissolved gas 

levels in the Columbia River to protect 

endangered fish and other aquatic 

species. Bonneville does not propose to 

modify the terms of the Oversupply 

Management Protocol in the TC–26 

tariff proceeding. Pursuant to section 

1010.4(b)(8) of the Rules of Procedure, 

the Bonneville Administrator directs the 

Hearing Officer to exclude from the 

record all argument, testimony, or other 

evidence related to the terms of the 

Oversupply Management Protocol 

(Tariff Attachment P), including 

whether the Oversupply Management 

Protocol complies with orders of the 

Commission; whether Bonneville took 

all actions to avoid using the 

Oversupply Management Protocol, 

including the payment of negative 

prices to generators outside of 

Bonneville’s balancing authority area; 

and issues concerning the rates for 

recovering the costs of the Oversupply 

Management Protocol. 

D. Program Cost Estimates 

Bonneville’s projections of its 

program costs and spending levels are 

not determined in terms and conditions 

proceedings and are outside the scope of 

the TC–26 tariff proceeding. These 

projections are determined by 

Bonneville in other forums, such as the 

Integrated Program Review public 

process, with input from stakeholders. 

Pursuant to section 1010.4(b)(8) of the 

Rules of Procedure, the Bonneville 

Administrator directs the Hearing 

Officer to exclude from the record all 

argument, testimony, or other evidence 

that challenges the appropriateness or 

reasonableness of the Bonneville 

Administrator’s decisions on costs and 

spending levels. 

E. Rates 

Pursuant to Bonneville’s statutes, it 

must set rates to recover costs associated 

with providing power and transmission 

services. In addition to and concurrent 

with this proceeding, Bonneville is 

holding a separate BP–26 proceeding 

regarding the proposed fiscal year 2026– 

2028 power and transmission, ancillary, 

and control area services rates. 

Bonneville’s decisions regarding rates 

are outside the scope of the TC–26 tariff 

proceeding. Pursuant to section 

1010.4(b)(8) of the Rules of Procedure, 

the Bonneville Administrator directs the 

Hearing Officer to exclude from the 

record all argument, testimony, or other 

evidence related to rates, or that 

challenges the appropriateness or 

reasonableness of the Bonneville 

Administrator’s decisions on rates or 

seeks in any way to propose revisions to 

the rates, including rate schedules, rate 

schedule provisions, rate designs, rate 

methodologies, rate forecasts, interest 

expense and credit, Treasury repayment 

schedules, non-Federal debt repayment 

schedules, revenue financing, 

calculation of depreciation and 

amortization expense, forecasts of 

system replacements used in repayment 

studies, transmission acquisition 

expenses incurred by Power Services, 

generation acquisition expenses, 

minimum required net revenue, 

increase in, or the use of, financial 

reserves, and the costs of risk mitigation 

actions resulting from the expense and 

revenue uncertainties included in the 

risk analysis. 

In this proceeding, Bonneville is 

proposing to modify the Tariff terms 

and conditions to include a 

‘‘Withdrawal Charge’’ as discussed in 

Part IV below. In order to implement the 

‘‘Withdrawal Charge,’’ Bonneville is 

proposing to adopt a general rate 

schedule provision that establishes the 

amount of the proposed ‘‘Generator 

Interconnection Withdrawal Charge’’ 

and other details about the applicability 

of the charge in the BP–26 proceeding. 

The exclusion in this section does not 

extend to limited testimony or evidence 

acknowledging that Bonneville has 

proposed adoption of ‘‘Generator 

Interconnection Withdrawal Charge’’ in 

the BP–26 proceeding. 

Part III—Public Participation in TC–26 

A. Interventions 

Any entity or person intending to 

become a party in the TC–26 tariff 

proceeding must file a petition to 

intervene through Bonneville’s secure 

website, https://proceedings.bpa.gov/. 

Because Bonneville is introducing a 

new secure website interface, all 

prospective users must create a new 

user account to submit an intervention. 

The secure website contains a link to 

the user guide, which provides step-bystep instructions for creating user 

accounts, submitting filings, and 

uploading interventions. Please contact 

the Hearing Coordinator via email at 

cwgriffen@bpa.gov or, if the question is 

time-sensitive, via telephone at (503) 

230–5107, with any questions regarding 

the registration and submission process. 

All petitions to intervene must be 

submitted through Bonneville’s secure 

website by the deadline in the 

procedural schedule adopted by the 

Hearing Officer. Late interventions are 

strongly disfavored. Petitions to 

intervene must conform to the format 

and content requirements in sections 

1010.6 and 1010.11 of Bonneville’s 

Rules of Procedure. Petitions must state 

the name and address of the entity or 

person requesting party status and the 

entity or person’s interest in the hearing. 

The Hearing Officer will rule on all 

petitions to intervene. Bonneville 

customers and affiliated customer 

groups will be granted intervention 

based on petitions filed in conformance 

with the Rules of Procedure. Other 

petitioners must explain their interests 

in sufficient detail to permit the Hearing 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 13, 2024 / Notices 89625 

Officer to determine whether the 

petitioners have a relevant interest in 

the hearing. 

Bonneville or any party may oppose 

a petition to intervene. The deadline for 

opposing a timely petition to intervene 

is two business days after the deadline 

for filing the petition. Opposition to an 

untimely petition to intervene must be 

filed within two business days after 

service of the petition. 

B. Participant Comments 

Bonneville distinguishes between 

‘‘participants in’’ and ‘‘parties to’’ the 

TC–26 tariff proceeding. Separate from 

the formal hearing process, Bonneville 

will accept written comments, views, 

opinions, and information from 

participants who have not intervened in 

the TC–26 proceeding and been granted 

‘‘party’’ status by the Hearing Officer. 

Participants are not entitled to 

participate in the prehearing conference; 

may not cross-examine parties’ 

witnesses, seek discovery, or serve or be 

served with documents; and are not 

subject to the same procedural 

requirements as parties. Bonneville 

customers that will receive transmission 

or interconnection service under the 

terms and conditions of the Tariff, or 

their affiliated customer groups, may 

not submit participant comments. 

Members or employees of organizations 

that have intervened in the proceeding 

may submit participant comments as 

private individuals (that is, not speaking 

for their organizations), but may not use 

the comment procedures to address 

specific issues raised by their intervener 

organizations. 

Written comments by participants 

must be received by December 5, 2024, 

to be considered by the Hearing Officer 

and the Bonneville Administrator. 

Participants should submit comments 

through Bonneville’s website at 

www.bpa.gov/comment or in hard copy 

to: BPA Public Involvement, Bonneville 

Power Administration, P.O. Box 14428, 

Portland, Oregon 97293. All comments 

should contain the designation ‘‘TC–26’’ 

in the subject line. 

C. Developing the Record 

The hearing record will include, 

among other things, the transcripts of 

the hearing, written evidence and 

arguments entered into the record by 

Bonneville and the parties, written 

comments from participants, and other 

material accepted into the record by the 

Hearing Officer. Upon conclusion of the 

hearing, the Hearing Officer will 

develop a recommended decision for 

the Bonneville Administrator. The 

Hearing Officer’s recommended 

decision must be based on the record 

and include the Hearing Officer’s 

findings and conclusions, including the 

reasons or bases thereof, on all material 

issues of fact, law, or discretion raised 

by the parties in their initial briefs. The 

Hearing Officer will review and certify 

the record to the Bonneville 

Administrator for final decision. 

The Bonneville Administrator will 

make a final determination establishing 

or modifying Tariff terms and 

conditions based on the record, the 

Hearing Officer’s recommended 

decision, and such other materials and 

information as may have been submitted 

to or developed by the Bonneville 

Administrator. The Final ROD will be 

made available to all parties. 

Part IV—Summary of Proposed 

Modifications to Bonneville’s Tariff 

In this proceeding, Bonneville 

proposes to adopt, effective October 1, 

2025, modifications to the non-rate 

Tariff terms and conditions consistent 

with the Tariff attached to the TC–26 

Settlement Agreement. The TC–26 

Settlement Agreement includes (1) 

changes to section 2 to allow existing 

firm service transmission customers that 

requested a term of five years or more 

to have the right to continue taking 

transmission service from BPA when 

the customer’s contract expires, rolls 

over or is renewed; (2) clarifications in 

section 4 to align with the current 

Attachment C, Methodology to Assess 

Available Transfer Capability, in regard 

to how Bonneville calculates Available 

Transfer Capability (ATC) and the Total 

Transfer Capability (TTC) for ATC 

paths; (3) modifications to Schedule 9E, 

Generator Imbalance Service, to allow 

for the recovery of Non-EIM Balancing 

Costs; (4) updates to the Summer and 

Non-Summer loss factor percentages in 

the Network Loss Factors table in 

Schedule 11; (5) changes to Attachment 

A, Form of Service Agreement for Firm 

Point-to-Point Service, to update 

references to exhibits for consistency 

within the attachment and to add 

Exhibit F, Specifications for Conditional 

Firm Point-to-Point Transmission 

Service; (6) modifications to Attachment 

L, Standard Large Generator 

Interconnection Procedures (LGIP) to 

establish that interconnection customers 

may be subject to a Withdrawal Charge 

if the customer’s interconnection 

request is withdrawn or deemed 

withdrawn at certain stages of the 

interconnection process, and to add 

Appendix 5, Standard Large Generator 

Interconnection Agreement; (7) 

modifications to Attachment R, Large 

Generator Interconnection Transition 

Process to specify the applicability of 

Withdrawal Charges to interconnection 

customers participating in the 

Transmission Process; (8) the addition 

of new Attachment S, Transmission 

Line Ratings; and (9) ministerial edits to 

Attachments L and R. In addition, 

separate and apart from this proceeding, 

Bonneville is proposing adoption of a 

rate schedule for the Generator 

Interconnection Withdrawal Charge in 

the BP–26 proceeding, consistent with 

both the BP–26 Partial Rates Settlement 

Agreement and the TC–26 Settlement 

Agreement. As described previously, the 

specific Tariff modifications at issue are 

reflected in the TC–26 Settlement 

Agreement that was developed in 

discussions with customers and other 

stakeholders earlier this year. The 

proposed Tariff assumes the TC–26 

settlement is successful. In the event the 

TC–26 settlement is unsuccessful, 

Bonneville will publish a revised Tariff 

proposal consistent with the procedural 

schedule established and amended by 

the Hearing Officer. 

Part V—Proposed Tariff 

Bonneville’s proposed Tariff and the 

TC–26 Settlement Agreement are part of 

this notice and available to view and 

download on Bonneville’s website at 

https://www.bpa.gov/tc26.
