DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Southwestern Power Administration 

Sam Rayburn Dam Rate Schedule 

AGENCY: Southwestern Power 

Administration, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of extension of Sam 

Rayburn Dam rate schedule. 

SUMMARY: The Administrator, 

Southwestern Power Administration 

(Southwestern) has approved and 

placed into effect on an interim basis 

Rate Order No. SWPA–78, which 

extends the following existing 

Southwestern Sam Rayburn Dam 

Hydropower Project rate schedule: Rate 

Schedule SRD–15, Wholesale Rates for 

Hydro Power and Energy. This is an 

interim rate action effective October 1, 

2021, extending for a period of two 

years through September 30, 2023. 

DATES: The effective period for the rate 

schedule specified in Rate Order No. 

SWPA–78 is October 1, 2021, through 

September 30, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Fritha Ohlson, Senior Vice President 

and Chief Operating Officer, Office of 

Corporate Operations, Southwestern 

Power Administration, U.S. Department 

of Energy, One West Third Street, Tulsa, 

Oklahoma 74103, (918) 595–6684 or 

email: fritha.ohlson@swpa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Rate Order 

No. SWPA–78 is approved and placed 

into effect on an interim basis for the 

period October 1, 2021, through 

September 30, 2023, for the following 

Southwestern Sam Rayburn Dam rate 

schedule: Rate Schedule SRD–15, 

Wholesale Rates for Hydro Power and 

Energy. 

Decision Rationale 

The Southwestern Administrator 

completed an annual review of the 

continuing adequacy of the existing rate 

schedule for the Sam Rayburn Dam. 

This review, as presented in the 2021 

Sam Rayburn Dam Power Repayment 

Studies (PRSs), indicated the need for a 

3.5 percent revenue increase to continue 

to satisfy cost recovery criteria. It is 

Southwestern practice for the 

Administrator to defer, on a case-bycase basis, revenue adjustments for an 

isolated project if such adjustments are 

within plus or minus five percent of the 

revenue estimated from the current rate 

schedule. The deferral of a revenue 

adjustment (rate change) provides for 

rate stability and savings on the 

administrative cost of implementation. 

The Administrator determined it to be 

prudent to defer the increase and allow 

the current rate schedule, which is set 

to expire September 30, 2021, to remain 

in effect. 

To ensure that Southwestern has a 

rate schedule in effect for collection of 

revenue in order to meet its repayment 

obligations, the Administrator has 

approved and placed into effect a twoyear extension of the Sam Rayburn Dam 

rate schedule for the period October 1, 

2021, through September 30, 2023. 

The Administrator followed part 903, 

subpart A of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), ‘‘Procedures 

for Public Participation in Power and 

Transmission Rate Adjustments and 

Extensions’’ for the extension to the rate 

schedule. The public was informed by 

publication in the Federal Register (86 

FR 31500 (June 14, 2021)) of the 

proposed extension of the rate schedule 

and of the opportunity to provide 

written comments for a period of 30 

days ending July 14, 2021. No 

comments were received. 

Legal Authority 

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 the Southwestern 

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 the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission (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. And 

by Redelegation Order No. 00–002.10– 

04, 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 the Southwestern 

Administrator. This redelegation order, 

despite predating the February 2021 

delegation and March 2021 

redelegation, remains valid. By these 

delegations, and in accordance with 10 

CFR 903.22(h) and 10 CFR 903.23(a), as 

amended (84 FR 5347, 5350 (Feb. 21, 

2019)), the Administrator may approve 

and extend, on an interim basis, rates 

previously confirmed and approved by
