Western Area Power Administration's (Western) Rate Schedule CV-F8 for

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) approval of these or of 
substitute rates on a final basis, ending April 30, 1998.

satisfy the cost-recovery criteria through the study period. The 
provisional rates 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 submits the rate schedule for confirmation 
and approval on a final basis for a 2\1/2\-year period beginning 
October 1, 1995, and ending April 30, 1998, pursuant to authority
