based on voluntary participation, and any customer that does not want to take service under the WestConnect Tariff provision may continue to take service under the Participant’s standard tariff provisions.

In order for Western to participate in the PA on a permanent basis, Western needs to establish permanent, hourly, non-firm, point-to-point transmission rates for on-peak and off-peak hours and the appropriate rate schedule for the WestConnect transmission product. Western is proposing a single rate schedule, effective June 1, 2014, through May 30, 2019, for all applicable Western Transmission Projects (TP): Colorado River Storage Project (CRSP), LovelandArea Projects (LAP), Pacific NorthwestPacific Southwest Intertie Project (INT), Central Arizona Project (CAP), and Parker-Davis Project (P–DP). Rate Schedule WC–8 will describe the formula and reference the individual TP’s converted rates posted on the appropriate Web sites and Open Access Same Time Information System (OASIS).

Proposed Formula Rate Calculation:

Legal Authority

The proposed action constitutes a minor rate adjustment. Western has determined it is not necessary to hold a public information or a public comment forum for this proposed minor rate adjustment as defined by 10 CFR part 903. After a review of public comments, Western will take further action on the proposed rates consistent with 10 CFR part 903.

Western is proposing converted rates for non-firm transmission service rates for CRSP, LAP, INT, CAP, and P–DP under the Department of Energy Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7152); the Reclamation Act of 1902 (ch. 1093, 32 Stat. 388), as amended and supplemented by subsequent laws, particularly section 9(c) of the Reclamation Project Act of 1939 (43 U.S.C. 485h(c)); section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (16 U.S.C. 825s); and other acts that specifically apply to the projects involved.

By Delegation Order No. 00–037.00A, effective October 25, 20013, the Secretary of Energy delegated: (1) The authority to develop power and transmission rates to Western’s Administrator; (2) the authority to confirm, approve, and place such rates into effect on an interim basis to the Deputy Secretary of Energy; and (3) the authority to confirm, approve, and place into effect on a final basis, to remand, or to disapprove such rates to FERC. Existing Department of Energy (DOE) procedures for public participation in power rate adjustments (10 CFR part 903) were published on September 18,
1985. Availability of Information
