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), Loveland 

Area 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.
