Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. EF01-4011-000, et al.]


Southwestern Power Administration, et al.; Electric Rate and 
Corporate Regulation Filings

April 9, 2001.
    Take notice that the following filings have been made with the 
Commission:

1. Southwestern Power Administration

[Docket No. EF01-4011-000]

    Take notice that on April 4, 2001, the Secretary, U.S. Department 
of Energy, tendered for filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (FERC) for confirmation and approval on a final basis, 
pursuant to the authority vested in the FERC by Delegation Order No. 
0204-172, November 11, 1999, the following Southwestern Power 
Administration (Southwestern) Integrated System rate schedules:

    Rate Schedule P-98D, Wholesale Rates for Hydro Peaking Power
    Rate Schedule NFTS-98D, Wholesale Non-Federal Transmission/
Interconnection Service

    The Integrated System rate schedules were confirmed and approved on 
an interim basis by the Deputy Secretary in Rate Order No. SWPA-44 for 
the period April 1, 2001, through September 30, 2001, and have been 
submitted to the FERC for confirmation and approval on a final basis 
for the same period.
    Southwestern has clarified the Energy Imbalance Service provision 
to specify the hours and circumstances in which energy within the 
authorized bandwidth is to be returned to the providing party, and has 
revised the Power Factor Penalty to charge on an hourly basis to more 
accurately reflect the actual taking of reactive kilovolt amperes 
(VARS) from the system of Southwestern. This penalty serves as an 
incentive to utilities to provide their own voltage support. In 
addition, Southwestern is adding a new provision for an Interconnection 
Facilities Service Charge. This charge will be applicable to 
interconnection requests for which Southwestern does not otherwise 
receive benefits or compensation for the use of Federal facilities. At 
this time, Southwestern does not anticipate any substantive change in 
revenues as a result of these changes which would impact revenue 
requirements. Southwestern does not forecast for penalties and 
currently has no contractual arrangements to which the Interconnection 
Facilities Service Charge would be applied.
    Comment date: April 30, 2001, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
E at the end of this notice.
