89636 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 13, 2024 / Notices 

disfavored. Petitions to intervene must 

conform to the format and content 

requirements in sections 1010.6 and 

1010.11 of BPA’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. BPA 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 Officer to 

determine whether the petitioners have 

a relevant interest in the hearing. 

BPA 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 

BPA distinguishes between 

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

PRDM proceeding. Separate from the 

formal hearing process, BPA will accept 

written comments, views, opinions, and 

information from participants who have 

not intervened in the PRDM 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. Entities who 

intervene in this proceeding 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 January 30, 2025, 

to be included in the record and 

considered by the Administrator. 

Participants should submit comments 

through BPA’s website at www.bpa.gov/ 

comment or by hard copy to: BPA 

Public Involvement, Bonneville Power 

Administration, P.O. Box 14428, 

Portland, Oregon 97293. All comments 

should contain the designation ‘‘PRDM– 

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 

argument entered into the record by 

BPA and the parties, written comments 

from participants, and other material 

accepted into the record by the Hearing 

Officer. The Hearing Officer will review 

and certify the record to the 

Administrator for final decision. 

Part IV—Public Rate Design 

Methodology 

The PRDM establishes a predictable 

and durable means by which to tier and 

calculate BPA’s Priority Firm (PFp) 

power rate. Specific determinations of 

rate levels will be made in each general 

rate case in a manner consistent with 

the PRDM in the respective section 7(i) 

proceedings applicable during the term 

of this PRDM. Tiered PFp rates 

consistent with the PRDM will be 

implemented beginning in FY 2029 

(October 1, 2028) when power deliveries 

under the Provider of Choice contracts 

commence. 

The PRDM provides for a two-tiered 

PFp rate design that will be applicable 

to the general requirements portion of 

BPA’s customer’s firm power service. 

The ‘‘general requirements’’ of BPA’s 

customers are defined by section 7(b)(4) 

of the Act, and exclude service to a 

customer’s New Large Single Load, as 

defined by section 3(13)(A)–(B) of the 

Act. Section 7(b) establishes the power 

‘‘rate or rates’’ applicable to a 

customer’s general requirements. That 

rate is called the PFp rate. The PRDM 

operates within the section 7(b) rate 

statutory construct by developing 

multiple PFp rates for service to a 

customer’s general requirements. The 

PRDM uses a ‘‘tiered’’ rate design to 

establish two primary PFp rates. The 

first tier, Tier 1, recovers the costs of 

service associated with BPA’s existing 

power system up to a specified amount. 

The second tier, Tier 2, recovers the 

costs associated with additional 

amounts of power needed to serve any 

remaining portion of the customers’ 

general requirements (i.e., the portion 

not otherwise served by Tier 1). The 

PRDM specifies how the Tier 1 and Tier 

2 rates will be developed and charged. 

The PRDM addresses: (1) how the cost 

pools for the Tier 1 and Tier 2 PFp rates 

will be established and what costs, or 

category of costs, will be included in 

those pools; (2) how the resource costs 

for the existing power system will be 

differentiated from the cost of new 

resources; (3) how the costs described in 

the above categories will be allocated to 

the Tier 1 and Tier 2 cost pools; (4) how 

rates for Tier 1 and Tier 2 sales will be 

designed; (5) how rates for resource 

support services will be designed; (6) 

how the PRDM interacts with other 

services and credits; and (7) how 

changes and disputes regarding the 

PRDM are addressed. The full terms of 

the proposed PRDM is available on 

Bonneville’s PRDM webpage at https:// 

www.bpa.gov/prdm2029. 

The cost allocation and rate design 

methods will be implemented in each 

BPA power rate case during the term of 

the Provider of Choice contracts. Power 

rates will be calculated on at least a twoyear cycle under the PRDM.
