18, 1985, and the DOE financial

reporting policies, procedures, and

methodology (DOE Order No. RA 6120.2

dated September 20, 1979).

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 power rates into

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 power rates to FERC.

The existing BCP rate methodology in

WAPA–58 was approved by the

Assistant Secretary for Conservation and

Renewable Energy on an interim basis,

effective January 1, 1993 (57 FR 61074).

On November 3, 1993, FERC approved

the BCP rate methodology as a final rate

effective from January 1, 1993, through

September 30, 1997 (65 FERC § 61,186).

The Administrator of Western

confirmed and approved the rate

methodology in Rate Order WAPA–58–

1 (59 FR 10629, March 7, 1994). The

methodology utilized in Rate Order

WAPA–58 requires that Western adjust

the BCP rates, either an increase or

decrease, on an annual basis. The

existing BCP composite power rate set

forth in Rate Schedule BCP–F4/2 is

12.62 mills/kWh comprised of an energy

charge of 6.31 mills/kWh and a capacity

charge of $1.07/kW/month. See Notice

of Rate Order WAPA–58–1, 59 FR

10629.

rates for energy and capacity are and

will be made available for inspection

and copying at the Phoenix Area Office,

615 South 43rd Avenue, Phoenix,

Arizona 85005.

a significant regulatory action because it

does not meet the criteria of Executive

Order 12866, 58 FR 51735. 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.

on Environmental Quality Regulations

(40 CFR Parts 1500–1508); and DOE

NEPA Regulations (10 CFR Part 1021),

Western has determined that this action

is categorically excluded from the

preparation of an environmental

assessment or an environmental impact

statement.
