Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 189 / Monday, October 2, 2017 / Notices 45837 

can reliably plan on producing, based on estimates 

that water levels used for power generation will at 

times be low or critical. That is, nonfirm energy is 

energy that is available to Bonneville as the result 

of it[ ] having water available for power 

generation. . . .’’). 

24See 16 U.S.C. 839e(k) (2012) (‘‘Notwithstanding 

any other provision of this chapter, all rates or rate 

schedules for the sale of nonfirm electric 

power. . . .’’ (emphasis added)). 

25Because section 7(k) of the Northwest Power 

Act does not govern our review of the rates at issue 

in this proceeding, section 7(k)’s allowance for a 

further trial-type evidentiary hearing does not 

provide a basis for such a trial-type evidentiary 

hearing here. 

26See 18 CFR 300.20(c) (2017). We further find 

that Northern California Utilities’ arguments that 

our refund condition will not protect them to be 

speculative, and their request for the Commission 

to stay implementation of the rates to be 

unsupported. 

the Northwest Power Act addresses 

power rates, not transmission rates.24

Thus, Northern California Utilities’ 

arguments that Bonneville’s filing is 

deficient for failing to meet the statutory 

standards of section 7(k) of the 

Northwest Power Act and the 

Commission’s regulations promulgated 

pursuant to section 7(k), specifically 18 

CFR 300.14 (2017) and by incorporation 

18 CFR 35.13(a)(2) (2017), are irrelevant 

to our approval on an interim basis of 

Bonneville’s transmission rates for the 

Southern Intertie.25 The proposed rates 

therefore will be approved on an interim 

basis pending our further review. In 

addition, we note that interim approval 

allows Bonneville’s rates to go into 

effect subject to refund with interest; the 

Commission may order refunds with 

interest if the Commission later 

determines in its final decision not to 

approve the rates.26

14. In addition, we will provide an 

additional period of time for parties to 

file comments and reply comments on 

issues related to final confirmation and 

approval of Bonneville’s proposed rates. 

This will ensure that the record in this 

proceeding is complete and fully 

developed. Specifically, if parties wish 

to file additional comments, they will be 

due within 30 days of the date of this 

order. Reply comments are due 20 days 

thereafter. 

The Commission Orders 

(A) Interim approval of Bonneville’s 

proposed IS Rates is hereby granted, to 

become effective on October 1, 2017, 

through September 30, 2019, subject to 

refund with interest as set forth in 

section 300.20(c) of the Commission’s 

regulations, 18 CFR 300.20(c) (2017), 

pending final action and either their 

approval or their disapproval. 

(B) Within 30 days of the date of this 

order, parties who wish to do so may 

file additional comments regarding final 

confirmation and approval of 

Bonneville’s proposed rates. Parties who 

wish to do so may file reply comments 

within 20 days thereafter. 

(C) The Secretary shall promptly 

publish this order in the Federal 

Register. 

By the Commission.
