lity’s own generating resources. Trading of electricity will be further facilitated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC’s) final rule (61 FR 21540) requiring all public utilities that own, control, or operate facilities used for transmitting electric energy in interstate commerce to have on file open-access nondiscriminatory transmission tariffs that contain minimum terms and conditions on nondiscriminatory service. The term “relevant service area” is used here to indicate any region to be served by the proposed facility, whether or not it corresponds to a traditional utility service area. Relevant service area is a situation-specific concept and must be defined on a case-by-case basis. As an example of changes, the relevant service area could be interpreted as a power-marketing area for independent power generators. The concept of “relevant region” is also introduced here to mean an area for which electricity demand forecasts are done, such as the Northeast Power Coordinating Council region, which would include the relevant service area. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from or provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRP 8.2.1. Provide data on the power and energy requirements to support the forecast analysis. ` ESRP 8.4. Provide information pertaining to baseload capacity planning to support the evaluation of the need for the plant. ` ESRPs 9.1, 9.2.1 and 9.2.2. Provide information pertaining to those factors affecting growth of electricity demand that could affect the need for or choice of alternative energy sources and systems. Data and Information Needs Affected States and/or regions continue to prepare a need-for-power evaluation for proposed energy facilities. The NRC will review the evaluation for the proposed facility, if available, and determine if it is (1) systematic, (2) comprehensive, (3) subject to confirmation, and (4) responsive to forecasting uncertainty.
