DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Western Area Power Administration 

Final 2018 Olmsted Power Marketing 

Plan and Call for Applications 

AGENCY: Western Area Power 

Administration, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of Final 2018 Olmsted 

Power Marketing Plan and Call for 

Applications. 

SUMMARY: Western Area Power 

Administration (WAPA), a Federal 

power marketing agency of the 

Department of Energy, announces its 

Final 2018 Olmsted Power Marketing 

Plan and Call for Applications for an 

allocation of energy from the Olmsted 

Powerplant Replacement Project. 

DATES: Applications and Applicant 

Profile Data are due December 11, 2017 

to be assured of consideration by 

WAPA. 

ADDRESSES: Send applications to: Ms. 

Lynn Jeka, CRSP Manager, CRSP 

Management Center, Western Area 

Power Administration, 150 East Social 

Hall Avenue, Suite 300, Salt Lake City, 

UT 84111–1580. Applications may also 

be faxed to (801) 524–5017 or emailed 

to jeka@wapa.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Brent Osiek, Power Marketing Manager, 

(801) 524–5495; or Mr. Lyle Johnson, 

Public Utilities Specialist, (801) 524– 

5585. Written requests for information 

should be sent to CRSP Management 

Center, Western Area Power 

Administration, 150 East Social Hall

emailed to ljohnson@wapa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

United States acquired the Olmsted 

Powerplant in 1990 through 

condemnation proceedings in order to 

secure the water rights associated with 

the Olmsted Powerplant deemed 

essential to the Central Utah Project 

(CUP). The CUP is a participating 

project of the Colorado River Storage 

Project. As part of the condemnation 

proceedings, PacifiCorp continued 

Olmsted operations until 2015; after 

which time, the operation of the facility 

became the responsibility of the Bureau 

of Reclamation. 

The existing Olmsted Powerplant 

greatly exceeded its operational life, and 

a replacement facility was needed for 

the generation of power and 

preservation of associated nonconsumptive water rights. On February 

4, 2015, an Implementation Agreement 

(Agreement) for the Olmsted Powerplant 

Replacement Project (Project) was 

signed by Central Utah Water 

Conservancy District (District), the 

Department of the Interior, Bureau of 

Reclamation, and WAPA (Participants). 

The Agreement sets forth the 

responsibilities of the Participants and 

identifies funding of the Project. The 

District will construct, operate, 

maintain, and replace the Olmsted 

Powerplant and incidental facilities in 

connection with its CUP operations, 

including power generation. 

WAPA is responsible for marketing 

the Olmsted energy, which is 

anticipated to be first available in the 

summer of 2018. Power production will 

be incidental to the delivery of water 

and will only be available when water 

is present. Therefore, only energy, 

without capacity, will be available for 

marketing. It is expected that the annual 

energy production from the replacement 

Olmsted Powerplant will average 

around 27,000,000 kWh per year. 

Response to Comments on the Olmsted 

Proposed Marketing Criteria 

WAPA received numerous comments 

on its Proposed 2018 Olmsted Power 

Marketing Plan during the comment 

period. WAPA reviewed and considered 

all comments received, and this section 

summarizes and responds to the 

comments received. For brevity, when it 

was possible to do so without affecting 

the meaning of the statements, the 

public comments below were 

paraphrased. 

Comment: Can WAPA explain how it 

determined the marketing area? How 

were certain Utah counties picked? Is it 

based on the Provo River drainage? Why 


asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES
47202 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 195 / Wednesday, October 11, 2017 / Notices 

were Davis, Weber, Morgan, and 

Summit counties included? 

Response: Because of the small 

amount of energy available from the 

Project, the marketing area was limited 

to the Utah counties in the vicinity of 

the powerplant in order to avoid costly 

transmission and to ensure that entities 

receiving an allocation would benefit 

from the energy while at the same time 

creating a marketing area sufficiently 

large enough to ensure wide-spread use 

of the Federal resource. 

Comment: Would there be a benefit to 

WAPA if a group of eligible applicants 

were to work together and submit a 

combined application with a 

recommended allocation? 

Response: WAPA will not discourage 

a combined application. However, 

WAPA will consider the loads and 

resources of the entities participating in 

a combined application in the same way 

it would consider individual 

applications. 

Comment: The marketing plan states 

that ‘‘priority’’ will be given to the plant 

operator, which is the Central Utah 

Water Conservancy District (District). 

The commenter supported this ‘‘priority 

or preference’’ to the District and asked 

if there are other criteria to be 

considered by WAPA in giving another 

utility a similar priority or preference. 

Response: There are no other 

circumstances that will create priority. 

Comment: Priority should be given to 

the District as the operator of the 

Olmsted Powerplant. 

Response: Thank you for your 

comment. 

Comment: Were applicants expected 

to apply for an allocation on or before 

the March 2, 2017, date or will there be 

another process or timetable to apply for 

an allocation? Will there be other details 

about the application process, or will a 

simple statement of interest as a ready, 

willing, and able utility be sufficient? 

Response: Details about how to apply 

for an allocation are provided in this 

Notice. Applicants will be asked to 

complete WAPA’s Applicant Profile 

Data form. 

Comment: It would be beneficial if 

WAPA could expedite the Olmsted 

Power Marketing Plan process so the 

awarded entities would have sufficient 

time to complete the details on 

transmission and distribution services, 

scheduling, and reserves for delivery of 

the Olmsted Powerplant energy. 

Response: WAPA will work to 

complete this process as quickly as 

possible while meeting public process 

requirements. 

Comment: One commenter, as the 

representative for its members who are 

also participants in the CRSP, noted it 

does not have any major issues with the 

plan. 

Response: Thank you for your 

comment. 

Comment: One commenter expressed 

concern that WAPA would ‘‘take into 

consideration all existing Federal 

hydropower allocations an applicant is 

currently receiving when determining 

the Olmsted allocation.’’ The 

commenter proposed that allocations be 

proportionate to other existing Federal 

allocations. 

Response: In order to assure 

widespread use for Federal power 

resources, WAPA will consider the 

percentage of a customer’s total load 

currently being met with Federal power 

through other allocations the customer 

may have. Applicants with larger 

proportions of load served with Federal 

power may, therefore, receive a 

relatively smaller percentage allocation 

of Olmsted energy and vice versa. 

Comment: One commenter asked for 

clarification of the specific marketing 

criteria and administrative discretion 

referred to under Reclamation Law and 

further stated: ‘‘We assume these 

marketing criteria and administrative 

discretion includes the responsibilities 

and contributions of the parties referred 

to in the Olmsted Implementation and 

Funding Agreements and the 

responsibilities and contributions in 

these agreements pertain more 

specifically for this Project and should 

be considered with more priority.’’ 

Response: WAPA’s Administrator has 

discretion to provide allocations of 

electricity pursuant to the body of 

legislation known as Reclamation Law. 

No other marketing commitments are 

made; however, WAPA did provide that 

the District would receive priority in 

receiving an allocation. 

Comment: A commenter expressed 

support for the marketing area identified 

in the Federal Register Notice (FRN) 

and asked if the District, whose 

headquarters are in the marketing area, 

can serve not only its facilities within 

the boundaries of the marketing plan 

but also those that extend beyond the 

marketing area. The commenter 

suggested that the marketing plan allow 

it to serve its loads located within 

Uintah and Duchesne counties with 

Olmsted energy. 

Response: Any allocations will be 

based on loads that are within the 

marketing area. 

Comment: A separate ratesetting 

process is required. It is critical that the 

rate action be completed in a timely 

manner so that it could be ready to 

receive energy before it is generated in 

2018. It is imperative for the marketing 

of the energy from Olmsted Powerplant 

that the rate methodology be 

competitive in the current power supply 

market but also sufficient to reimburse 

the District for the OM&R of the Project. 

Response: WAPA intends to have the 

ratesetting process proceed concurrently 

with the completion of the Marketing 

Plan process. 

Comment: Several comments were 

received supporting WAPA’s proposal 

to allocate customers a percentage of the 

energy produced annually and pay the 

proportional percentage of the Project’s 

annual operation and maintenance 

expenses. 

Response: WAPA appreciates the 

support of its proposed rate 

methodology. 

Comment: One commenter stated, ‘‘it 

makes excellent sense to offer this nondispatchable resource as a percentage of 

the total energy available.’’ 

Response: Thank you for your 

comment. 

Comment: A commenter claimed it 

should receive priority for an allocation 

from Olmsted because it established a 

vested interest in the facilities as it 

expended funds many years ago in an 

unsuccessful attempt to obtain a license 

from the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (FERC) to operate the 

Olmsted Powerplant. Its effort was 

abandoned when the Olmsted facilities 

were to be acquired by the Federal 

government. 

Response: Under Reclamation Law, 

the expenditure of funds trying to obtain 

a FERC license to operate the Olmsted 

Powerplant does not establish a priority 

for an allocation from any future power 

generation. 

Comment: What is the ‘‘marketing 

criteria’’ under Reclamation Law and 

can this be described? 

Response: WAPA markets Federal 

hydropower through the authority given 

it by the body of law known as 

Reclamation Law including, but not 

limited to, the Acts of Congress 

approved June 17, 1902 (32 Stat. 388); 

the Reclamation Act of 1939, dated 

August 4, 1939 (53 Stat. 1187); the 

Department of Energy Organization Act, 

dated August 4, 1977 (91 Stat. 565); the 

Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102– 

486); and Acts amendatory or 

supplementary to the foregoing Acts. 

Marketing Criteria are developed 

through a public process and are set 

forth in this Notice. 

Final Olmsted Power Marketing Plan 

WAPA will apply the following 

criteria to applicants seeking an 

allocation of energy under the Final 

2018 Olmsted Power Marketing Plan: 

1. Contract Term: To gain actual 

generation data and operating 


asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 195 / Wednesday, October 11, 2017 / Notices 47203 

experience, the term of the contract will 

be limited. Service is expected to begin 

on July 1, 2018, or as soon as the Project 

is declared commercially operable; and 

the contract term will be effective 

through September 30, 2024. 

2. Marketing Area: Due to the 

relatively small size of the resource and 

its operating characteristics, eligible 

applicants must be preference entities in 

accordance with section 9(c) of the 

Reclamation Project Act of 1939 (43 

U.S.C. 485h(c)) and located within the 

following counties in Utah: Davis, 

Morgan, Salt Lake, Summit, Utah, 

Weber, and Wasatch. 

3. Delivery Point: 12.47-kV bus at 

PacifiCorp’s Hale Substation or another 

substation as agreed by WAPA. 

4. Transmission: Any associated 

transformation/transmission beyond the 

Delivery Point is the sole responsibility 

of the applicant. Applicants must have 

the necessary arrangements for 

transmission and/or distribution service 

in place by April 1, 2018. 

5. Eligible Applicants: WAPA will 

provide allocations only to preference 

entities in the marketing area. WAPA, 

through the public process, will 

determine the amount of energy, if any, 

to allocate in accordance with the 

marketing criteria and administrative 

discretion under Reclamation Law. 

Priority will be given to the District as 

the operator of the Olmsted Powerplant. 

6. Resource Pool: WAPA will take 

into consideration all existing Federal 

hydropower allocations an applicant is 

currently receiving when determining 

each allocation. Allocations of Olmsted 

energy will be determined solely by 

WAPA. Applicants who receive an 

allocation will be allocated a percentage 

of the annual energy output of the 

Powerplant. 

7. Preference Entities: Preference will 

be given to entities in accordance with 

section 9(c) of the Reclamation Project 

Act of 1939, 43 U.S.C. 485h(c), as 

amended and supplemented, including 

municipalities, rural cooperatives, and 

political subdivisions including 

irrigation or other districts, 

municipalities, and other governmental 

organizations that have electric utility 

status by April 1, 2018; and, Federally 

recognized Native American tribes as 

defined in the Indian Self Determination 

Act of 1975, 25 U.S.C. 5304, as 

amended. ‘‘Electric utility status’’ means 

that the entity has responsibility to meet 

load growth, has a distribution system, 

and is ready, willing, and able to 

purchase Federal power from WAPA on 

a wholesale basis. 

8. Ready, Willing, and Able: Eligible 

applicants must be ready, willing, and 

able to receive and distribute or use 

energy from WAPA. Ready, willing, and 

able means the applicant has the 

facilities needed to receive power or has 

made the necessary arrangements for 

transmission and/or distribution 

service, and its power supply contracts 

with third parties permit the delivery of 

WAPA’s power. 

9. Rates and Payment: A proposed 

ratesetting methodology will be 

published in a separate FRN.

Procedural Requirements 

Environmental Compliance 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4347), the Council 

on Environmental Quality Regulations 

(40 CFR parts 1500–1508), and DOE 

NEPA Regulations (10 CFR 1021), 

WAPA issued a Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) on January 

13, 2017. The FONSI and other NEPA 

compliance documentation may be 

found at https://www.wapa.gov/regions/ 

CRSP/environment/Pages/ 

environment.aspx. 

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 

(RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., requires a 

Federal agency to perform a regulatory 

flexibility analysis whenever the agency 

is required by law to publish a general 

notice of proposed rulemaking for any 

proposed rule unless the agency can 

certify that the rule will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. In 

defining the term ‘‘rule,’’ the RFA 

specifies that a ‘‘rule’’ does not include 

‘‘a rule of particular applicability 

relating to rates [and] services . . . or to 

valuations, costs or accounting, or 

practices relating to such rates [and] 

services . . . .’’ 5 U.S.C. 601. WAPA has 

determined that this action relates to 

rates or services offered by WAPA and, 

therefore, is not a rule within the 

purview of the RFA. 

Review Under the Paperwork Reduction 

Act 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1980, 94 Stat. 2812, 

WAPA received approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), under control number 1910– 

5136, to collect customer information 

through WAPA’s Applicant Profile Data 

in order to allocate Federal hydropower. 

Determination Under Executive Order 

12866 

WAPA has an exemption from 

centralized regulatory review under 

Executive Order 12866; accordingly, no 

clearance of this notice by the Office of 

Management and Budget is required.
