SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Western 

published the Post-2009 Resource 

Pool—Loveland Area Projects— 

Allocation Procedures and Call for 

Applications (73 FR 62981) on October 

22, 2008, to implement subpart C-Power 

Marketing Initiative of the Program’s 

Final Rule, 10 CFR part 905, published 

at 60 FR 5415, October 29, 1995. The 

Program, developed in part to 

implement section 114 of the Energy 

Policy Act of 1992, became effective on 

November 20, 1995. The Program 

establishes project-specific power 

resource pools and the allocation of 

power from these pools to new 

preference customers. The allocation 

procedures, in conjunction with the 

General Power Marketing and 

Allocation Criteria (51 FR 4012, January 

31, 1986), establish the framework for 

allocating power from the Loveland 

Area Projects (LAP) resource pool. Only 

comments relevant to the Proposed 

Power Allocation will be accepted 

during the comment period. After 

considering public comments, Western 

will publish the Final Power Allocation 

in the Federal Register. 

Written comments on the Proposed 

Power Allocation must be received at 

the address above by 4 p.m. MDT on 

April 27, 2009. Western will respond 

only to comments received on the 

Proposed Power Allocation and publish 

the Final Power Allocation after the end 

of the comment period. 

I. Post-2009 Pool Resources 

Western will allocate up to 1 percent 

(1%) of the LAP long-term hydroelectric 

resource available as of October 1, 2009. 

Approximately 6.9 megawatts (MW) of 

capacity and 11.3 gigawatt-hours (GWh) 

of energy will be available for the 

summer season. Winter availability will 

be approximately 6.1 MW of capacity 

and 9.1 GWh of energy. This resource 

pool will be created by reducing 

existing customers’ allocations by up to 

1%. 

II. Proposed Power Allocation 

In response to the call for 

applications, Western received four 

applications for the Post-2009 LAP 

resource pool. The total amount of 

energy requested by the applicants was 

65.6 GWh. The resource pool will be 

allocated proportionately by season 

based on average seasonal loads for the 

period April 2007 through March 2008. 

The resource pool for capacity will be 

allocated proportionately by season 

based on average seasonal demand. The 

allocations below are subject to the 

minimum (100 kilowatts) and maximum 

(5,000 kilowatts) allocation criteria. The 

proposed allocations for the four 

qualified allottees are shown in the table 

below.

Allottees must be able to obtain 

delivery of their allocations. A letter of 

commitment from each allottee’s serving 

utility or transmission provider 

confirming that the allottee will receive 

the benefit of Western’s Proposed Power 

Allocation must be received by May 11, 

2009. If a copy of the letter is not 

received by the date above, Western 

may redistribute the allottee’s portion of 

the resource pool to those allottees that 

remain. Western may extend this 

deadline for receiving a letter of 

commitment if a written request to do 

so is received by Western by the 

deadline. 

The proposed allocations shown in 

the table above are based on the LAP 

marketable resource currently available. 

If the LAP marketable resource is 

adjusted in the future, all allocations 

may be adjusted accordingly. 

III. Review Under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1980, 44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520, Western received approval from 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) to collect the Applicant Profile 

Data under control number 1910–5136, 

which was used to develop this 

Proposed Power Allocation. 

IV. Review Under the National 

Environmental Policy Act 

Western completed an environmental 

impact statement on the Program, 

pursuant to the National Environmental 

Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). The Record 

of Decision was published in the 

Federal Register, 60 FR 53181, October 

12, 1995. Western will comply with any 

additional NEPA requirements for this 

resource pool.
