service, Western will retain an amount 

equal to the then current rate for firm 

weekly point-to-point service with the

Legal Authority 

Western is proposing an Unreserved 

Use Penalty rate for the P–SMBP—ED in 

accordance with section 302 of the 

Department of Energy (DOE) 

Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7152). This 

section transferred to and vested in the 

Secretary of Energy the power marketing 

functions of the Secretary of the 

Department of Interior and the Bureau 

of Reclamation under the Reclamation 

Act of 1902 (ch. 1093, 32 Stat. 388), as 

amended and supplemented by 

subsequent laws, particularly section 

9(c) of the Reclamation Project Act of 

1939 (43 U.S.C. 485h(c)); and section 5 

of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (16 

U.S.C. 825s); and other acts that 

specifically apply to the projects 

involved. 

By Delegation Order No. 00–037.00, 

effective December 6, 2001, the 

Secretary of Energy delegated: (1) The 

authority to develop power and 

transmission rates to Western’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, to remand, 

or to disapprove such rates to the FERC. 

Existing DOE procedures for public 

participation in power rate adjustments 

(10 CFR part 903) were published on 

September 18, 1985 (50 FR 37835). 

After review of public comments, and 

possible amendments or adjustments, 

Western will recommend the Deputy 

Secretary of Energy approve the 

proposed rates on an interim basis. 

Availability of Information 

All brochures, studies, comments, 

letters, memorandums, or other 

documents that Western initiates or uses 

to develop the proposed rates are 

available for inspection and copying at 

the Upper Great Plains Regional Office, 

located at 2900 4th Avenue North, 

Billings, Montana. Many of these 

documents and supporting information 

are also available on its Web site under

Services Rate Adjustment Process’’
