marginal resource for transactions in the 

wholesale energy market. The specific 

market used in this analysis is the MidColumbia trading hub in the State of 

Washington. 

The Market Price Forecast is used for 

two purposes in BPA’s rate case. First, 

it is the basis for approximating the 

prices BPA may experience when 

selling to or buying from the wholesale 

power market. The Market Price 

Forecast estimates are therefore used to 

inform, but not directly set, the price 

used in BPA’s surplus or net secondary 

revenue forecast. Second, the Market 

Price Forecast represents BPA’s 

marginal cost in acquiring new energy, 

or the opportunity cost BPA may see in 

selling wholesale energy. The Market 

Price Forecast is therefore used in rate 

design and to send market-based price 

signals. 

The Market Price Forecast uses a 

production cost model, AURORA, to 

estimate a market clearing price for 

wholesale energy. The fundamental 

assumption underlying AURORA 

modeling is the existence of a 

competitive wholesale energy pricing 

structure in the Western Electricity 

Coordinating Council Region. The 

model dispatches resources in a least 

cost order to meet a specified demand. 

Short-term prices are set at the variable 

cost of the marginal generator. Longterm capital investment decisions are 

based on economic profitability in an 

unregulated environment. The study 

will also forecast independent marketprice forecasts used for IOU and DSI 

benefits. 

4. Risk Analysis Study 

The Risk Analysis Study focuses upon 

two types of risks and their impacts on 

BPA’s revenues and expenses. The first 

class of risks is comprised of operating 

risks such as variations in economic 

conditions, load, and generation 

resource capability. These operating 

risks include the impacts of water 

supply conditions, alternative hydro 

operations, and market prices on net 

revenues. These operating risks are 

modeled in the Risk Analysis Model 

(RiskMod). The second class of risks 

comprises non-operating risks—all the 

risks included in the rate case risk 

modeling other than operating risks. 

This class of non-operating risks also 

includes uncertainty in achieving cost 

reductions identified in the Power 

Function Review. These risks are 

modeled in the Non-Operating Risk 

Model (NORM). The outputs from 

RiskMod and NORM are combined to 

develop the distribution of net revenues 

and cash flows that are required as 

input by the ToolKit Model. 

BPA subsequently evaluates the 

impact that different risk mitigation 

measures have on reducing net revenue 

risk by calculating the TPP. The ToolKit 

Model assesses the impact that the net 

revenue deviations have on cash reserve 

levels, calculates the probability that 

BPA will make each Treasury payment 

on time and in full. If the TPP is below 

BPA’s three-year 92.6 percent TPP 

standard, analysts change the 

combination of risk mitigation tools 

(e.g., Cost Recovery Adjustment Clauses, 

Planned Net Revenues for Risk, 

Dividend Distribution Clause, etc.) to 

meet the TPP standard. The amount of 

PNRR calculated in the ToolKit Model 

is included in revenue requirements 

and, thus, affects the level of the rates 

calculated in the rates analysis model 

below. 

5. Wholesale Power Rate Development 

Study 

The Wholesale Power Rate 

Development Study (WPRDS) is the 

primary source for details concerning 

BPA’s power rates. It reflects the results 

of all of the other studies, documents 

the Rates Analysis Model, and 

documents the development of rates for 

BPA’s wholesale power products and 

services. The WPRDS documents the 

allocation and recovery of Federal 

power costs, development of the Slice 

cost table; the development and forecast 

of inter-business line revenues and 

expenses (including Generation Input of 

Ancillary Services, segmentation of 

COE/Reclamation Transmission 

Facilities and GTA Delivery Charge), the 

development of charges for demand, 

load variance, unauthorized increase 

usage, excess load factoring, numerous 

rate provisions (e.g. the low-density 

discount, conservation and renewable 

discount, and rate mitigation), and the 

development of diurnal energy charges. 

Notably, one chapter of the WPRDS 

discusses BPA’s risk mitigation package 

(i.e., the CRAC, NFB Adjustment, and 

DDC). The results of the WPRDS are the 

wholesale power rate schedules. 

6. Section 7(b)(2) Rate Test Study 

Section 7(b)(2) of the Northwest 

Power Act directs BPA to assure that the 

wholesale power rates effective after 

July 1, 1985, to be charged its public 

body, cooperative, and Federal agency 

customers (the 7(b)(2) Customers) for 

their general requirements for the rate 

period, plus the ensuing four years (in 

total, this is known as the test period), 

are no higher than the costs of power 

would be to those customers for the 

same time period if specified 

assumptions are made. The effect of the 

rate test is to protect the 7(b)(2) 

Customers’ wholesale firm power rates 

from certain costs resulting from 

provisions of the Northwest Power Act. 

The rate test can result in a reallocation 

of costs from the 7(b)(2) Customers to 

other rate classes. The Section 7(b)(2) 

Rate Test Study describes the 

application and results of the Section 

7(b)(2) Implementation Methodology. 

The Section 7(b)(2) rate test triggers in 

this proposal, causing costs to be 

reallocated in the test period. The PF 

Preference rate applied to the general 

requirements of the 7(b)(2) Customers 

has been partially reduced by the 7(b)(2) 

amount. Other rates, including the PF 

Exchange Program rate applied to 

customers purchasing under the REP 

and the IP rate to be charged to any DSI 

taking direct service from BPA during 

the rate period, have been increased by 

an allocation of the 7(b)(2) amount. 

Because, after allocation of the 7(b)(2) 

amount, there are no REP loads, no 

power sales to IOUs, and no direct 

power sales to DSIs, remaining 7(b)(2) 

amount costs were allocated to the PF 

Preference rate. This is required by 

Section 7(a)(1) of the Northwest Power 

Act, which provides that BPA’s power 

rates must recover BPA’s power costs. 

V. 2007 Wholesale Power Rate 

Schedules and General Rate Schedule 

Provisions (GRSPs) 

BPA’s proposed 2007 Wholesale 

Power Rate Schedules and GRSPs are 

available for viewing and downloading 

on PBL’s Web site at www.bpa.gov/ 

power/ratecase. A copy of the proposed 

rate schedules and GRSPs are also 

available for viewing in BPA’s Public

C. How and to Whom Do I Submit the 

Comments? 

You may submit comments 

electronically, by mail, or through hand 

delivery/courier. To ensure proper 

receipt by EPA, identify the appropriate 

docket ID number in the subject line on 

the first page of your comment. Please 

ensure that your comments are 

submitted within the specified comment 

period. Comments received after the 

close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to 

consider these late comments. If you 

wish to submit CBI or information that 

is otherwise protected by statute, please 

follow the instructions in Unit I.D. Do 

not use EPA Dockets or e-mail to submit 

CBI or information protected by statute. 

1. Electronically. If you submit an 

electronic comment as prescribed in this 

unit, EPA recommends that you include 

your name, mailing address, and an email address or other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment. Also include this contact 

information on the outside of any disk 

or CD ROM you submit, and in any 

cover letter accompanying the disk or 

CD ROM. This ensures that you can be 

identified as the submitter of the 

comment and allows EPA to contact you 

in case EPA cannot read your comment 

due to technical difficulties or needs 

further information on the substance of 

your comment. EPA’s policy is that EPA 

will not edit your comment, and any 

identifying or contact information 

provided in the body of a comment will 

be included as part of the comment that 

is placed in the official public docket, 

and made available in EPA’s electronic 

public docket. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. 

i. EPA Dockets. Your use of EPA’s 

electronic public docket to submit 

comments to EPA electronically is 

EPA’s preferred method for receiving 

comments. Go directly to EPA Dockets

D. How Should I Submit CBI to the 

Agency? 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI electronically 

through EPA’s electronic public docket 

or by e-mail. You may claim 

information that you submit to EPA as 

CBI by marking any part or all of that 

information as CBI (if you submit CBI 

on disk or CD ROM, mark the outside 

of the disk or CD ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD ROM the specific information that is 

CBI). Information so marked will not be 

disclosed except in accordance with 

procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 

In addition to one complete version of 

the comment that includes any 

information claimed as CBI, a copy of 

the comment that does not contain the 

information claimed as CBI must be 

submitted for inclusion in the public 

docket and EPA’s electronic public 

docket. If you submit the copy that does 

not contain CBI on disk or CD ROM, 

mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM 

clearly that it does not contain CBI. 

Information not marked as CBI will be 

included in the public docket and EPA’s 

electronic public docket without prior 

notice. If you have any questions about 

CBI or the procedures for claiming CBI, 

please consult the technical person 

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. 

E. What Should I Consider when I 

Prepare My Comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns. 

6. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

7. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline in this 

notice. 

8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

be sure to identify the docket ID number 

assigned to this action in the subject 

line on the first page of your response. 

You may also provide the name, date, 

and Federal Register citation. 

F. What Information is EPA Particularly 

Interested in? 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

comments and information to enable it 

to: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collections of information are necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimates of the burdens of the 

proposed collections of information. 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collections of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated or 

electronic collection technologies or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 

II. What Information Collection 

Activity or ICR Does this Action Apply 

to? 

EPA is seeking comments on the 

following ICR: 

Title: Notification of Chemical 

Exports - TSCA Section 12(b). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0795.12, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0030. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on August 31, 2006. 

67700 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 215 / Tuesday, November 8, 2005 / Notices 

An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, 

and a person is not required to respond 

to, a collection of information, unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. The OMB control numbers for 

EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, 

after appearing in the Federal Register, 

are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and included 

on the related collection instrument or 

form, if applicable. 

Abstract: Section 12(b)(2) of TSCA 

requires that any person who exports or 

intends to export to a foreign country a 

chemical substance or mixture that is 

regulated under TSCA sections 4, 5, 6, 

and/or 7 submit to EPA notification of 

such export or intent to export. Upon 

receipt of notification, EPA will advise 

the government of the importing 

country of the U.S. regulatory action 

with respect to that substance. EPA uses 

the information obtained from the 

submitter via this collection to advise 

the government of the importing 

country. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

part 707). Respondents may claim all or 

part of a notice confidential. EPA will 

disclose information that is covered by 

a claim of confidentiality only to the 

extent permitted by, and in accordance 

with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 

and 40 CFR part 2. 

III. What are EPA’s Burden and Cost 

Estimates for this ICR? 

Under PRA, ‘‘burden’’ means the total 

time, effort, or financial resources 

expended by persons to generate, 

maintain, retain, or disclose or provide 

information to or for a Federal Agency. 

For this collection it includes the time 

needed to review instructions; develop, 

acquire, install, and utilize technology 

and systems for the purposes of 

collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements; train personnel to be able 

to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources; 

complete and review the collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of this estimate, which is 

only briefly summarized in this notice. 

The annual public burden for this 

collection of information is estimated to 

be about 0.878 hours per response. The 

following is a summary of the estimates 

taken from the ICR: 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Companies that export from the United 

States to foreign countries or that engage 

in wholesale sales of chemical 

substances or mixtures. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 350. 

Frequency of response: Annually. 

Estimated total/average number of 

responses for each respondent: 25. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

7,550 hours. 

Estimated total annual burden costs: 

$382,130. 

IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates 

from the Last Approval? 

There is an increase of 100 hours 

(from 7,450 hours to 7,550 hours) in the 

total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the 

information collection request most 

recently approved by OMB. This 

increase represents the net effect of an 

increase in the estimated number of 

notices sent to EPA and a decrease in 

the number of firms sending notices, 

based on EPA’s recent experiences with 

TSCA section 12(b) notices. This 

increase is an adjustment. 

V. What is the Next Step in the Process 

for this ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal 

Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the 

submission of the ICR to OMB and the 

opportunity to submit additional 

comments to OMB. If you have any 

questions about this ICR or the approval 

process, please contact the technical 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.
