1. Alaska Power Administration

[Docket No. EF97-1011-000]

    Take notice that on October 1, 1996, the Deputy Secretary of the 
Department of Energy, by Rate Order No. APA-12, confirmed and approved 
on an interim basis effective October 1, 1996, Rate Schedules A-F11, A-
N12, and A-W3 applicable to power from and wheeling by Alaska Power 
Administration's (AP) Eklutna Project. The rate schedules which are 
being adjusted were previously confirmed and approved by FERC on 
February 2, 1995, for a period of five years, Docket No. EF94-1011-000.
    Current rates in effect are 18.7 mills per kilowatt-hour for firm 
energy; 10 mills per kilowatt-hour for non-firm energy; and 3 mills per 
kilowatt-hour for wheeling. APA proposes to decrease the rate for firm 
energy to 8.8 mills per kilowatt-hour, a decrease of 53 percent. Rates 
for non-firm energy would be decreased to 8.8 mills per kilowatt-hour, 
and wheeling would remain the same.
    The Department requests the approval of the Commission of the 
adjusted rates for a period not to exceed five years with the 
understanding that the rates can be adjusted at an earlier date if 
needed to comply with the cost recovery criteria. The rate schedules 
are submitted for confirmation and approval on a final basis pursuant 
to authority vested in the Commission by Amendment No. 3 to Delegation 
Order No. 0204-108.
    Comment date: October 28, 1996, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph E at the end of this notice.
