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

November 23, 2004.
    The following filings have been made with the Commission. The 
filings are listed in ascending order within each docket 
classification.

1. Southwestern Power Administration

[Docket No. EF05-4011-000]

    Take notice that on November 17, 2004, the Deputy Secretary, U.S. 
Department of Energy, submitted to the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission for confirmation and approval on a final basis, pursuant to 
the authority vested in the Commission by Delegation Order Nos. 00-
037.00, effective December 6, 2001, and 00-001-00A, effective September 
17, 2002, the following Southwestern Power Administration 
(Southwestern) Integrated System rate schedules:
    Rate Schedule P-04, Wholesale Rates for Hydro Peaking Power.
    Rate Schedule NFTS-04, Wholesale Rates for Non-Federal 
Transmission/Interconnection Facilities Service.
    Rate Schedule EE-04, Wholesale Rate for Excess Energy.
    The Integrated System (System) rate schedules were confirmed and 
approved on an interim basis by the Deputy Secretary in Rate Order No. 
SWPA-51 for the period January 1, 2005, through September 30, 2008, and 
have been submitted to the FERC for confirmation and approval on a 
final basis for the same period. The System rates will increase the 
annual revenue from $114,973,800 to $123,549,964 primarily to recover 
increased expenditures in operation and maintenance (O&M) and 
investment. The total annual revenue increase will be $8,576,164, or 
7.5 percent effective January 1, 2005.
    In addition, the PRS indicates the need for an annual increase of 
$737,300 in revenues received through the Purchased Power Adder to 
recover increased purchased energy costs. Southwestern has continued 
the rate structure that conforms with the intent of the FERC's Order 
No. 888; consequently, the actual rate impact on each customer will 
vary based on the type of service requested and provided. The proposal 
also includes a continuation of the Administrator's Discretionary 
Purchased Power Adder Adjustment, to adjust the purchased power adder 
annually up to $0.0011 per kilowatthour as necessary, under a formula-
type rate, with notification to the FERC.
