Does this notice affect me? 

This notice affects you if we provide 

you electric service. MVP is a federallyowned power utility, operated and 

maintained by the Confederated Salish 

and Kootenai Tribes through a contract 

pursuant to the Indian SelfDetermination and Education 

Assistance Act of 1975, Public Law 93– 

638, 25 U.S.C. 5301 et seq. (formerly 

codified at 25 U.S.C. 450 et seq.). MVP 

provides service to customers located 

within the Flathead Indian Reservation 

and to areas in Flathead, Lake, 

Missoula, and Sanders counties in 

Montana. MVP provides power for 

residential, governmental, irrigation, 

commercial, and industrial uses. 

Where can I get information on the 

regulatory and legal citations in this 

notice? 

You can contact us using the 

addresses provided at the beginning of 

this notice, or you can use the internet 

site for the Government Printing Office 

at http://www.gpo.gov. 

Why are you publishing this notice? 

We are publishing this notice to 

inform you that we propose to adjust 

our electric power rates. This notice is 

published in accordance with BIA’s 

regulations governing its operation and 

maintenance of power projects, found at 

25 CFR part 175. This regulation 

provides for the establishment and 

publication of rates for electric power 

assessments as well as related 

information about our power projects. 

What authorizes you to issue this 

notice? 

Our authority to issue this notice is 

vested in the Secretary of the Interior by 

5 U.S.C. 301; 25 U.S.C. 13; 25 U.S.C. 

385c; Act of March 7, 1928 (45 Stat. 

212–213), as amended; Act of May 25, 

1948, Public Law 554 (62 Stat. 269– 

273), as amended; Act of August 31, 

1951 (65 Stat. 248); Act of December 23, 

1981, section 112 (95 Stat. 1404). The 

Secretary has in turn delegated this 

authority to the Assistant Secretary— 

Indian Affairs under part 209, chapter 

8.1A, of the Department of the Interior’s 

Departmental Manual. 

How do you calculate electric power 

rates? 

We calculate electric power rates by 

estimating the costs of energy delivery 

to our customers, which includes 

administration costs and operation and 

maintenance costs in addition to the 

cost of purchased power. Operation and 

maintenance costs include maintenance 

of a reserve fund to make repairs and 

replacements to the utility, defray 

emergency expenses, ensure the 

continuous operation of the power 

system, and pay other allowable 

expenses and obligations to the extent 

required or permitted by law. The result 

of this calculation is stated in the rate 

table in this notice. 

How do we know how much rate 

increase is needed? 

We completed a review of MVP’s rates 

in accordance with 25 CFR 175.205 to: 

(a) determine if our financial 

requirements are being met to ensure 

the reliable operation of the utility; and 

(b) determine if revenues are sufficient 

to meet our statutory requirements. We 

have determined a rate increase is 

needed to ensure MVP can pay its 

expenses and ensure continuous 

operation of the power system. 

When will you put the rate adjustments 

into effect? 

Interested parties have an opportunity 

to provide comments, and they will be 

considered before proposed rate 

adjustments go into effect. We plan to 

put the 2024 rate adjustment into effect 

this fall. The 2025 rate adjustment will 

be effective March 1, 2025. The 2026 

rate adjustment will be effective March 

1, 2026. 

Will any additional monthly rates 

apply? 

We may add a purchased power cost 

adjustment to certain categories in the 

below table. This adjustment is the 

amount (rounded to the nearest $0.0001) 

that MVP pays to its power suppliers. 

When MVP experiences unforeseen 

increases in the cost of purchased 

power, we may adjust the existing 

electric power rate and put it into effect 

immediately. MVP will publish the 

purchased power changes in the local 

newspaper and adjust the purchased 

power component of your bill 

accordingly. Such changes are not 

included in the procedure for adjusting 

electric power rates because unforeseen 

increases in the cost of purchased power 

are: (a) not under our control; (b) 

determined by current market rates; and 

(c) subject to market fluctuations that 

can occur at an undetermined time and 

frequency. 

Are there restrictions on my use of 

power? 

You must use any power that we 

supply you only on your property. You 

may not resell any power that we 

supply to you. 

What if I have more than one meter? 

If you have more than one meter, we 

will calculate a separate bill for each 

meter. 

When should I pay my power bill? 

We will mail or email your bill 

notifying you (a) the amount you owe to 

the United States and (b) when such 

amount is due. You should pay your bill 

by the due date stated on the bill.

90034 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 220 / Thursday, November 14, 2024 / Notices 

What information must I provide for 

billing purposes? 

All responsible parties are required to 

provide the following information to the 

billing office associated with MVP: 

(1) The full legal name of the person 

or entity responsible for paying the bill; 

(2) An adequate and correct address 

for mailing our bill; and 

(3) The taxpayer identification 

number or social security number of the 

person or entity responsible for paying 

the bill. 

Why are you collecting my taxpayer 

identification number or social security 

number? 

Public Law 104–134, the Debt 

Collection Improvement Act of 1996, 

requires that we collect the taxpayer 

identification number or social security 

number before billing a responsible 

party and as a condition to servicing the 

account. 

What can happen if I do not provide the 

information required for billing 

purposes? 

We can refuse to provide you 

electrical service. 

If I allow my bill to become past due, 

could this affect my electrical service? 

Yes. 25 CFR 175.315(b) states: ‘‘If your 

bill is past due we may: (1) Disconnect 

your service; and (2) Not reconnect your 

service until your bill, including any 

applicable fees, is paid in full.’’ Specific 

regulations regarding non-payment can 

be found in 25 CFR 143.5(c). 

Are there any additional charges if I am 

late paying my bill? 

Yes. We are required to assess 

interest, penalties, and administrative 

costs on past due bills in accordance 

with 31 U.S.C. 3717 and 31 CFR 901.9. 

What else will happen to my past due 

bill? 

If you do not pay your bill or make 

payment arrangements to which we 

agree, we are required to transfer your 

past due bill to the Department of the 

Treasury for further action. Pursuant to 

31 CFR 285.12, bills that are 120 days 

past due will be transferred to Treasury. 

What electric power rates are proposed 

for adjustment by this notice? 

The rate table below contains the 

present electric power rates for MVP. 

The table also contains proposed rates 

for 2024, 2025, and 2026. An asterisk 

immediately following the rate category 

notes where rates are proposed for

∧We may apply a power factor penalty to Irrigation, General Service—Three Phase, and New Large Single Load customers. 

Note #1. Residential and Small General Service customers may opt into the ‘‘Pre-Pay Meters’’ or ‘‘Net Meters’’ programs. General Service

customers may opt into the ‘‘Net Meters’’ program. For the Pre-Pay Meters program, customers must pre-pay a minimum of $50.00 fee at time of 

account setup. Any prepayment is credited to the account and applied to the customer’s future usage and demand charges. Pre-Pay customers 

are required to keep a positive balance in their account, or the meter will shut off automatically. Net Metering allows customer-owned renewable 

generation to interconnect with MVP’s distribution system. 

Note #2. Customers with monthly demand of over three megawatts will be subject to other rates, as determined by MVP on a case-by case 

basis, and may be required to make a deposit of two months of estimated service. 

Note #3. Unmetered Services refers to customers, using kilowatt hours without a meter, that do not fall under one of MVP’s other rate categories. Includes traffic lights, billboards, and telephone booths. 

Note #4. Irrigation customers may receive a Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) discount for the months of May through September. BPA 

generally provides an irrigation discount to assist the agricultural sector in rural Northwest communities. After BPA provides MVP with the final irrigation discount rate, we will issue the discount as an annual credit on qualified irrigation customers’ bills. 

Consultation and Coordination With 

Tribal Governments (Executive Order 

13175) 

The Department of the Interior strives 

to strengthen its government-togovernment relationship with Indian 

Tribes through a commitment to 

consultation with Indian Tribes and 

recognition of their right to selfgovernance and Tribal sovereignty. We 

have evaluated this notice under the 

Department’s consultation policy and 

under the criteria of Executive Order 

13175 and have determined there to be 

substantial direct effects on federally 

recognized Tribes because the electric 

power utilities are located on or 

associated with Indian reservations. To 

fulfill its consultation responsibility to 

Tribes and Tribal organizations, BIA 

communicates, coordinates, and 

consults on a continuing basis with 

these entities on issues of electric power 

delivery, electric power availability, and 

costs of administration, operation, 

maintenance, and rehabilitation of our 

utilities that concern them. This is 

accomplished at the individual power 

utility by utility, agency, and regional 

representatives, as appropriate, in 

accordance with local protocol and 

procedures. This notice is one 

component of our overall coordination 

and consultation process to provide 

notice to, and request comments from, 

these entities when we adjust electric 

power rates. 

Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use (Executive Order 

13211) 

The proposed rate adjustments are not 

a significant energy action under the 

definition in Executive Order 13211. A 

Statement of Energy Effects is not 

required. 

Civil Justice Reform (Executive Order 

12988) 

This notice complies with the 

requirements of Executive Order 12988. 

Specifically, in issuing this notice, the 

Department has taken the necessary 

steps to eliminate drafting errors and 

ambiguity, minimize potential litigation, 

and provide a clear legal standard for 

affected conduct as required by section 

3 of Executive Order 12988. 

Regulatory Planning and Review 

(Executive Order 12866) 

These proposed rate adjustments are 

not a significant regulatory action and 

do not need to be reviewed by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

These proposed rate adjustments are 

not a rule for the purposes of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act because they 

establish ‘‘a rule of particular 

applicability relating to rates.’’ 5 U.S.C. 

601(2). 

Takings (Executive Order 12630) 

These proposed rate adjustments do 

not effect a taking of private property or 

otherwise have ‘‘takings’’ implications 

under Executive Order 12630. The 

proposed rate adjustments do not 

deprive the public, State, or local 

governments of rights or property. 

Federalism (Executive Order 13132) 

Under the criteria in section 1 of 

Executive Order 13132, these proposed 

rate adjustments do not have sufficient 

federalism implications to warrant the 

preparation of a federalism summary 

impact statement because they will not 

affect the States, the relationship 

between the national government and 

the States, or the distribution of power 

and responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. A federalism 

summary impact statement is not 

required. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

The Department has determined that 

these proposed rate adjustments do not 

constitute a major Federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment. A detailed 

statement under the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) is not required because the 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
90036 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 220 / Thursday, November 14, 2024 / Notices 

proposed rate adjustments are of an 

administrative, financial, legal, 

technical, or procedural nature. (For 

further information see 43 CFR 

46.210(i)). We have also determined that 

the proposed rate adjustments would 

not involve any of the extraordinary 

circumstances listed in 43 CFR 46.215 

that would require further analysis 

under NEPA. 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

These proposed rate adjustments do 

not affect the collections of information 

which have been approved by the Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. The OMB Control Number 

is 1076–0021 and expires March 31, 

2026. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995 

These proposed rate adjustments do 

not impose an unfunded mandate on 

State, local, or Tribal governments in 

the aggregate, or on the private sector, 

of more than $130 million per year. 

They do not have a significant or unique 

effect on State, local, or Tribal 

governments or the private sector. 

Therefore, the Department is not 

required to prepare a statement 

containing the information required by 

the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
