Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 118 / Friday, June 19, 1998 / Notices 33651

of Energy Organization Act (42 U.S.C.

7101, et seq.) and the Reclamation Act

of 1902 (43 U.S.C. 371, et seq.), as

amended and supplemented by

subsequent enactments, particularly

section 9(c) of the Reclamation Project

Act of 1939 (43 U.S.C. 485h(c)) and

section 8 of the Act of August 31, 1964,

(16 U.S.C. 837g).

By Amendment No. 3 to Delegation

Order No. 0204–108, published

November 10, 1993 (58 FR 59716), the

Secretary of Energy delegated: (1) the

authority to develop long-term power

and transmission rates on a

nonexclusive basis to the Administrator

of Western; (2) the authority to confirm,

approve, and place such rates in effect

on an interim basis to the Deputy

Secretary; and (3) the authority to

confirm, approve, and place into effect

on a final basis, to remand, or to

disapprove such rates to the FERC.

Existing DOE procedures for public

participation in power rate adjustments

(10 CFR Part 903) became effective on

September 18, 1985 (50 FR 37835).

Regulatory Procedure Requirements

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of

1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, requires Federal

agencies to perform a regulatory

flexibility analysis if a proposed rule is

likely to have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities. Western has determined that

this action relates to rates or services

offered by Western, and therefore is not

a rule within the purview of the act.

Environmental Compliance

In compliance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969

(NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.; Council

On Environmental Quality Regulations,

40 CFR Parts 1500–1508; and DOE

NEPA Regulations, 10 CFR Part 1021,

Western conducts environmental

evaluations of the proposed rates and

develops the appropriate level of

documentation.

Determination Under Executive Order

12866

Western has an exemption from

centralized regulatory review under

Executive Order 12866; accordingly, no

clearance of this notice by the Office of

Management and Budget is required.

Availability of Information

All brochures, studies, comments,

letters, memorandums, and other

documents made or kept by Western for

the purpose of developing the proposed

rates will be made available for

inspection and copying at Western’s

Desert Southwest Regional Office at 615

South 43rd Avenue in Phoenix,

Arizona.
