Western Area Power Administration's (Western) Rate Schedule SLIP-F5 for 
firm power service from the Salt Lake City Area Integrated Projects.
    The rate in Rate Schedule SLIP-F5 will be in effect pending the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) approval of these or of 
substitute rates on a final basis, ending November 3, 1999.

existing rate does not yield sufficient revenue to satisfy the cost-
recovery criteria through the study period. The revised rate schedules 
will yield adequate revenue to satisfy these criteria.
    The Administrator of Western certifies that the rates are 
consistent with applicable law and that they are the lowest possible 
rates consistent with sound business principles. The Deputy Secretary 
of the Department of Energy states that the rate schedule is submitted 
for confirmation and approval on a final basis for a 5-year period
