DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Western Area Power Administration

Replacement Resources Methods

Report, Grand Canyon Protection Act

of 1992

AGENCY: Western Area Power

Administration (Western), DOE.

ACTION: Notice of availability of

replacement resources methods report

and executive summary.

SUMMARY: The Secretary of Energy,

acting through Western, has the

responsibility of marketing

hydroelectric power generated at Glen

Canyon Dam Powerplant. Western has

been engaged in the Replacement

Resources Process to identify

economically and technically feasible

methods for replacing power resources

that are lost due to long-term

operational constraints at Glen Canyon

Dam Powerplant. Western announces

the availability of the Replacement

Resources Methods Report (Report) and

the Executive Summary, which satisfies

the requirement in section 1809 of the

Grand Canyon Protection Act (GCP Act)

of 1992, Title XVIII of Pub. L. 102–575.

ADDRESSES: To request a copy of the

Report and/or Executive Summary or to

provide written comments on the

Report, contact: Mr. S. Clayton Palmer,

84147–0606.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Samuel D. Loftin, (801) 524–6381.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Report outlines the economically and

technically feasible methods that

Western will use to evaluate and select

resources to replace capacity made

unavailable (‘‘or lost’’) due to the

adoption of long-term operational

criteria for Glen Canyon Dam as

required by the GCP Act. The Report

includes a ‘‘proof-of-concept’’ analysis

of five hypothetical resource options

with varying degrees of complexity. The

methods are consistent with other

Western resource acquisition policies,

such as Western’s Principles of

Integrated Resource Planning (IRP). The

methods are also consistent with the

Contract Amendment, the Records of

Decision in the Salt Lake City Area/

Integrated Projects Power Marketing
