Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 196 / Friday, October 9, 2015 / Notices 61207 

1FERC, on February 6, 2014, confirmed and 

approved the existing Sam Rayburn Dam rate 

schedule for the period October 1 2013 through 

September 30, 2017. See 146 FERC ¶ 62,105 (FERC 

Docket No. EF14–2–000). 

Guidelines for preparation of power 

repayment studies are included in DOE 

Order No. RA 6120.2 entitled Power 

Marketing Administration Financial 

Reporting. Following DOE guidelines, 

Southwestern prepared a 2015 Current 

Power Repayment Study using the 

existing Sam Rayburn Dam Rate 

Schedule.1 This study indicates that 

Southwestern’s legal requirement to 

repay the investment in the power 

generating facility for power and energy 

marketed by Southwestern will not be 

met without an increase in revenues. 

The need for increased revenues is 

primarily due to increased operations 

and maintenance costs and increased 

interest expense associated with 

investments and replacements in the 

Corps hydroelectric generating facilities. 

The 2015 Revised Power Repayment 

Study shows that additional annual 

revenues of $333,672 (a 7.9 percent 

increase), beginning January 1, 2016, are 

needed to satisfy repayment criteria. 

Southwestern will continue to 

perform its Power Repayment Studies 

annually, and if the 2016 results should 

indicate the need for additional 

revenues, another rate filing will be 

conducted and updated revenue 

requirements implemented for fiscal 

year 2017 and thereafter. 

Procedures for public participation in 

power and transmission rate 

adjustments of the Power Marketing 

Administrations are found at title 10, 

part 903, subpart A of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR part 903). 

Southwestern’s customers and other 

interested parties may request copies of 

the 2015 Sam Rayburn Dam Power 

Repayment Studies and the proposed 

Rate Schedule. Submit requests to the 

Director, Division of Resources and 

Rates, Office of Corporate Operations, 

Southwestern Power Administration, 

One West Third, Tulsa, OK 74103, (918) 

595–6684 or via email to swparates@

swpa.gov. 

If requested a Public Information and 

Comment Forum (Forum) will be held 

on October 22, 2015, to explain to 

customers and interested parties the 

proposed Rate Schedule and supporting 

2015 Power Repayment Studies, and to 

allow for comment. A chairman, who 

will be responsible for orderly 

procedure, will conduct the Forum if 

requested. Questions concerning the 

rates, studies, and information 

presented at the Forum will be 

answered, to the extent possible, at the 

Forum. Questions not answered at the 

Forum will be answered in writing. 

Questions involving voluminous data 

contained in Southwestern’s records 

may best be answered by consultation 

and review of pertinent records at 

Southwestern’s offices. 

Persons requesting that a Forum be 

held should indicate in writing to the 

Senior Vice President and Chief 

Operating Officer (see FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT) by letter, email, 

or facsimile transmission (918–595– 

6646) by October 16, 2015, their request 

for such a Forum. If no request is 

received, no such Forum will be held. 

Persons interested in speaking at the 

Forum, if held, should submit a request 

to the Senior Vice President and Chief 

Operating Officer, Southwestern, at least 

seven (7) calendar days prior to the 

Forum so that a list of forum 

participants can be developed. The 

chairman may allow others to speak if 

time permits. 

A transcript of the Forum, if held, will 

be made. Copies of the transcript and all 

documents introduced will be available 

for review at Southwestern’s offices (see 

ADDRESSES) during normal business 

hours. Copies of the transcript and all 

documents introduced may also be 

obtained, for a fee, from the transcribing 

service. A copy of all written comments 

or an electronic copy in MS Word on 

the proposed Sam Rayburn Dam Rate 

Schedule is due on or before November 

9, 2015. Comments should be submitted 

to the Senior Vice President and Chief 

Operating Officer, Southwestern, (see 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). 

Procedures for the confirmation and 

approval of rates for the Federal Power 

Marketing Administrations are found at 

title 18, part 300, subpart L of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (18 CFR part 

300). The Acting Administrator will 

review and consider oral and written 

comments and the information gathered 

in the course of the proceeding when 

submitting the finalized Sam Rayburn 

Dam Power Repayment Studies and 

Rate Schedule Proposal in support of 

the proposed rate to the Deputy 

Secretary of Energy for confirmation and 

approval on an interim basis, and 

subsequently to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission for 

confirmation and approval on a final 

basis. 

Once submitted for final confirmation 

and approval, the Commission will 

allow the public an opportunity to 

provide written comments on the 

proposed rate increase before making a 

final decision.

Notice of Issuance of Part 71 Federal 

Operating Permit to Great Lakes 

Transmission Limited Partnership 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces that on 

August 28, 2015, pursuant to title V of 

the Clean Air Act, the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) issued a title V 

permit to operate (title V permit) to 

Great Lakes Transmission Limited 

Partnership. This permit authorizes 

Great Lakes Transmission Limited 

Partnership to operate a natural gas 

compressor station at its facility 

(Facility) in Deer River, Minnesota. The 

compressor station consists of two 

stationary natural gas-fired turbines, 

which in turn drive two natural gas 

compressors for the Deer River 

Compressor Station No.4, which is 

located on the Leech Lake Band of 

Ojibwe Indian Reservation. 

DATES: During the public comment 

period, which ended June 1, 2015, EPA 

received comments on the draft title V 

permit. Therefore, in accordance with 

40 CFR 71.11(i)(2), this permit is 

effective 30 days after service of notice 

of the decision to issue the permit, 

October 2, 2015. 40 CFR 71.11(i)(2) 

provides that the final permit decision 

becomes effective 30 days after the 

service of notice of the decision unless 

a later effective date is specified, review 

is requested, or no comments requested 

a change in the draft permit, in which 

case the permit becomes effective 

immediately upon issuance. The 

exceptions noted above to the 30 days 

after notice of permit issuance date did 

not apply in this permitting action. EPA 

received comments on the draft permit 

from the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe 

and the Minnesota Historical Society 

State Historic Preservation Office during 

the public comment period, and 

changes were made to the final permit. 

ADDRESSES: The final signed permit is 

available for public inspection online at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

supplemental information is organized 

as follows: 

A. What is the background information? 

B. What is the purpose of this notice? 

A. What Is the background 

information? 

The Deer River Compressor Station 

No. 4 is owned by Great Lakes 

Transmission Limited Partnership. Deer 

River Compressor Station No. 4 consists 

of two stationary natural gas-fired 

turbines which, in turn, drive two 

natural gas compressors. EPA received 

the permit application on April 25, 

2014. 

On April 29, 2015, EPA made 

available for a 30-day public comment 

a draft Federal title V permit to operate 

(V–LL–2706100011–14–01) in 

accordance with the requirements of 40 

CFR 71.11(d). This title V permit 

incorporated all applicable air quality 

requirements for the Deer River 

Compressor Station No.4, including the 

monitoring necessary to ensure 

compliance with these requirements. 

EPA received written comments, 

responded to those comments, finalized 

the permit and provided copies to the 

applicant pursuant to 40 CFR 71.11(i). 

B. What is the purpose of this notice? 

EPA is notifying the public of the 

issuance of the title V permit to Great 

Lakes Transmission Limited Partnership 

on August 28, 2015. Because EPA 

received comments on the draft title V 

permit, it is effective 30 days after 

notice of permit issuance, October 2, 

2015, pursuant to 40 CFR 71.11(i)(2).
