United States Department of Energy 

(DOE), is requesting Statements of 

Interest (SOIs) from entities that are

Western is requesting SOIs from any 

entity or entities desiring to purchase 

Long-Term Firm Transmission Service 

to deliver generation over the TWE 

Project.

hydroelectric projects to customers in 

accordance with Federal law. Western 

owns and operates an integrated 17,000 

circuit mile, high-voltage transmission 

system across 15 western states covering 

a 1.3 million square mile service area. 

Western’s transmission system is used 

to deliver Federal hydropower to 

Western’s customers. In addition, the 

system is used to deliver power from 

interconnected power producers, 

including clean renewable energy 

resources.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 200 / Monday, October 18, 2010 / Notices 63827 

Under section 402 of the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act 

(Recovery Act), 42 U.S.C. 16421a, Public 

Law 111–5, 123 Stat. 141, Div A, Title 

IV, section 402 (2009) (adding Section 

301 to the Hoover Power Plant Act of 

1984 [Public Law 98–381, Title III, 

section 301]), Western may borrow 

funds from the United States Treasury 

to construct, finance, facilitate, plan, 

operate, maintain, and/or study 

construction of new or upgraded electric 

power transmission lines and related 

facilities with at least one terminus in 

Western’s marketing area, that deliver or 

facilitate the delivery of power from 

renewable resources constructed or 

reasonably expected to be constructed 

after the date of enactment of the 

Recovery Act. In order to implement 

section 402, on March 4, 2009, Western 

published a Notice of Proposed Program 

and Request for Public Comments in the 

Federal Register (74 FR 9391) 

describing its proposed Transmission 

Infrastructure Program (TIP) and 

soliciting public input on that program. 

After considering the comments 

received on its March 4 notice, Western 

published its final TIP Notice of 

Program on May 14, 2009 (74 FR 22732). 

Western also published a Notice of 

Availability of Request for Interest on 

March 4, 2009, (74 FR 9391) that 

solicited interest in proposed 

transmission projects that resulted in 

the submission of over 200 SOIs, 

including a SOI for the TWE Project. 

Western is evaluating its potential 

participation in the TWE Project. The 

TWE Project is proposed as a 725-mile, 

3,000-megawatt (MW), 600-kilovolt 

(kV), two-terminal, direct-current (DC) 

transmission system with terminals in 

Wyoming and Nevada and a potential 

interconnection at the Intermountain 

Power Project near Delta, Utah. The 

northern substation/converter station 

would be located near the Platte 

substation, in Carbon County, Wyoming. 

The southern substation/converter 

station would be located in southern 

Nevada near the Eldorado Valley. The 

northern terminal of the line is 

anticipated to interconnect with the 

planned 500-kV alternating current (AC) 

system that PacifiCorp has proposed as 

part of the Energy Gateway project. The 

southern terminal of the line would be 

interconnected with the 500-kV AC 

substations within the Eldorado Valley, 

where power can be wheeled to the 

various markets in the region. The 

estimated cost for the project is $3 

billion and the planned in-service date 

is 2015. Western anticipates that it will 

be able to make approximately 250 MW 

of unidirectional surplus transmission 

capacity available from the Carbon 

County, Wyoming area to the Clark 

County, Nevada area. 

In this notice, Western solicits SOIs to 

allow Western to determine the level of 

interest in Western’s portion of longterm firm transmission service on the 

TWE Project. Information received 

through this effort may assist Western in 

acquiring TWE Project support and 

approval. Specifically, Western is 

soliciting any and all interest from 

entities looking to transfer energy from 

the Carbon County, Wyoming area to the 

Clark County, Nevada area. Western’s 

rate would be cost-based; however, 

Western does not currently have 

sufficient information to estimate a rate. 

An expression of interest in purchasing 

this long-term firm transmission service 

made by submitting a SOI is not binding 

or promissory. SOIs submitted with 

respect to this notice should, at a 

minimum, include the following 

information: 

1. Name and general description of 

the entity submitting the SOI. 

2. Name, mailing address, telephone 

number, facsimile number, and e-mail 

address of that entity’s primary contact. 

3. Preferred interconnection points. 

4. Description of the resources the 

proposed TWE Project transmission 

path would facilitate delivery of, 

including type(s) of resources, general 

location of generation and load or 

markets, existing interconnection 

requests, anticipated resource capacity 

and capacity factor of resource, 

estimated commercial operation date of 

generation, and any other information 

that would be useful in evaluating 

submitted SOIs. 

5. The amount of transmission 

capacity and desired term of agreement 

for long-term firm transmission service 

and the interconnection or receipt 

points on the proposed path. 

6. A general description of financing 

for generation. 

7. A statement of financial stability. 

Entities intending to submit a SOI 

should request from Western a SOI 

Evaluation Agreement. Entities must 

then execute the SOI Evaluation 

Agreement and pay a non-refundable 

SOI Evaluation Cost in the sum of 

$5,000. Western intends to use these 

funds to defray its cost in evaluating the 

SOIs and to continue its efforts in 

considering its potential participation in 

the TWE Project. By submitting an SOI 

and associated Evaluation Cost, 

submitters will be included for future 

consideration for Western’s capacity in 

the TWE Project should the project 

proceed and Western participate in it. 

Western will treat data submitted by 

entities in this process, including 

financing arrangements with other 

parties, in accordance with the Freedom 

of Information Act (FOIA). Participants 

may identify for confidential treatment 

all or part of a submitted document 

under the FOIA exemption for 

‘‘Confidential Business Information’’ 

with appropriate markings. Such 

markings will be considered in the 

event a FOIA request for the information 

is received. 

Environmental Compliance 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.), the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

Regulations for implementing NEPA (40 

CFR Parts 1500–1508) and the DOE 

NEPA Implementing Procedures and 

Guidelines (10 CFR Part 1021), Western 

has determined that this action is 

categorically excluded from further 

NEPA analysis. Future actions under 

this authority will undergo appropriate 

NEPA analysis.
