SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

Network (PD–NTS4), Intertie Network 

(INT–NTS4), Scheduling, System 

Control, and Dispatch (DSW–SD4), 

Reactive Supply and Voltage Control 

(DSW–RS4), Regulation and Frequency 

Response (DSW–FR4), Energy 

Imbalance (DSW–EI4), Generator 

Imbalance (DSW–GI2), Spinning 

Reserve (DSW–SPR4), Supplemental

Penalties (DSW–UU1) under Rate Order 

No. WAPA–175 for a 5-year period 

through September 30, 2021.1 These rate 

schedules also contain formula rates 

that are calculated each fiscal year to 

include the most recent financial, load, 

and schedule information, as applicable. 

In accordance with 10 CFR 903.23(a),2

DSW is proposing to extend the existing 

formula rates under these Rate 

Schedules for Network, ancillary 

services, transmission losses, and 

unreserved use penalties for a 5-year 

period through September 30, 2026. The 

existing formula rates for these services 

were designed to recover the costs 

incurred for providing each service, 

which is consistent with the cost 

recovery criteria set forth in Department 

of Energy (DOE) Order No. RA 6120.2. 

These formula rates continue to provide 

sufficient revenue to cover expenses, 

and no adjustments are necessary. 

In accordance with 10 CFR 903.23(a), 

WAPA has determined it is not 

necessary to hold public information or 

public comment forums for this rate 

action, but is initiating a 15-day 

consultation and comment period to 

give the public an opportunity to 

comment on the proposed extension. 

DSW will review and consider all 

timely public comments at the 

conclusion of the consultation and 

comment period and adjust the 

proposal, if appropriate.

By Delegation Order No. 00–037.00B, 

effective November 19, 2016, the 

Secretary of Energy delegated: (1) The 

authority to develop power and 

transmission rates to WAPA’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, or to remand 

or disapprove such rates, to FERC. By 

Delegation Order No. S1–DEL–S4–2021, 

effective February 25, 2021, the Acting 

Secretary of Energy also delegated the 

authority to confirm, approve, and place 

such rates into effect on an interim basis 

to the Under Secretary for Science (and 

Energy). By Redelegation Order No. S4– 

DEL–OE1–2021, effective March 25, 

2021, the Acting Under Secretary for 

Science (and Energy) redelegated the 

authority to confirm, approve, and place 

such rates into effect on an interim basis 

to the Assistant Secretary for Electricity. 

By Redelegation Order No. 00–002.10– 

05, effective July 8, 2020, the Assistant 

Secretary for Electricity further 

redelegated the authority to confirm, 

approve, and place such rates into effect 

on an interim basis to WAPA’s 

Administrator. This redelegation order, 

despite predating the February 2021 and 

March 2021 delegations, remains valid.
