Department of Energy

Deputy Secretary

In the Matter of: Southeastern Power Administration B Georgia-Alabama-
South Carolina Rates; Rate Order No. SEPA-48; Order Confirming and 
Approving Power Rates on an Interim Basis

    Pursuant to Sections 302(a) and 301(b) of the Department of Energy 
Organization Act, Public Law 95-91, the functions of the Secretary of 
the Interior and the Federal Power Commission under Section 5 of the 
Flood Control Act of 1944, 16 U.S.C. 825s, relating to the Southeastern 
Power Administration (Southeastern) were transferred to and vested in 
the Secretary of Energy. By Delegation Order No. 0204-108, effective 
May 30, 1986, 51 FR 19744 (May 30, 1986), the Secretary of Energy 
delegated to Southeastern's Administrator the authority to develop 
power and transmission rates, delegated to the Under Secretary of 
Energy the authority to confirm, approve, and place in effect such 
rates on an interim basis, and delegated to the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission (FERC) the authority to confirm, approve and 
place into effect on a final basis or to disapprove rates developed by 
the Administrator under the delegation. On December 6, 2001, the 
Secretary of Energy issued Delegation Order No. 00-037.00, granting the 
Deputy Secretary of Energy authority to confirm, approve, and place 
into effect Southeastern's rates on an interim basis. This rate order 
is issued by the Deputy Secretary pursuant to said notice.

Background

    Power from the Georgia-Alabama-South Carolina System is presently 
sold under Wholesale Power Rate Schedules SOCO-1-B, SOCO-2-B, SOCO-3-B, 
SOCO-4-B, ALA-1-K, MISS-1-K, Duke-1-B, Duke-2-B, Duke-3-B, Duke-4-B, 
Santee-1-B, Santee-2-B, Santee-3-B, Santee-4-B, SCE&G-1-B, SCE&G-2-B, 
SCE&G-3-B, SCE&G-4-B, Regulation-1, Replacement-1, Pump-1-A, and Pump-
2. These rate schedules were approved by the FERC on November 3, 2004, 
for a period ending September 30, 2007 (109 FERC ] 61,133).

Public Notice and Comment

    Notice of proposed rate adjustment was published in the Federal 
Register April 4, 2007 (72 FR 16345). The notice advised interested 
parties of a proposed rate increase of about eight and one-half percent 
(8.5%). A public information and comment forum was scheduled for May 
10, 2007. Subsequent to the public information and comment forum, the 
proposed rates were revised. With the revisions, the proposed rate 
adjustment is an increase of about seven percent (7%). Written comments 
were accepted on or before July 3, 2007. Written comments were received 
from one source, the Southeastern Federal Power Customers (SeFPC), 
pursuant to this notice.
    The following comments were received during the comment period. 
Southeastern's response follows each comment.
    Comment 1: Customers are concerned with a 28% increase in O&M 
expense from the previous study, which is largely responsible for the 
overall increase in the rates.
    Response 1: Estimates of future Corps Operations & Maintenance 
(O&M) Expense were provided by the Corps of Engineers to the O&M 
Committee of the SeFPC in April of 2006. Southeastern believes that 
these are the best estimates available. Southeastern shares the 
customer's concerns with the rate of increase of Corps O&M expense and 
will, in conjunction with the O&M Committee of the SeFPC, monitor and 
review this expense.
    Comment 2: The high level for 2006 may be attributable to large 
increases in spending at the Carters and Russell projects that will not 
be repeated in future years.
    Response 2: Information provided by the Corps of Engineers suggests 
costs at the Carters and Russell projects may have been higher in 
Fiscal Year 2006 due to some nonrecurring work. Nevertheless, 
Southeastern believes these estimates are the best available for the 
purposes of this rate filing. Southeastern will, in conjunction with 
the O&M Committee of the SeFPC, monitor and review O&M Expense for the 
Georgia-Alabama-South Carolina System Projects.
    Comment 3: The SeFPC [asks] SEPA to review the proposed increase 
for O&M and recent {events{time}  at the Carters and Russell project to 
determine if any of these O&M expenses should be capitalized. If costs 
have been included as O&M expenses which should more properly be 
capitalized, the SeFPC would request that SEPA make the appropriate 
reductions in O&M expenses and commensurate increases in the capital 
project expenditures.
    Response 3: The Corps of Engineers prepares its financial 
statements in accordance with Corps Directives. Southeastern has 
reviewed the Corps' cost reporting and has not discovered any material 
items that the Corps expensed and Southeastern believes should be 
capitalized. Southeastern will work with the Corps to ensure 
appropriate reporting of all expenditures.

Discussion

System Repayment

    An examination of Southeastern's revised system power repayment 
study, prepared in July, 2007, for the Georgia-Alabama-South Carolina 
System, shows that with the proposed rates, all system power costs are 
paid within the 50-year repayment period required by existing law and 
DOE Order RA 6120.2. The Administrator of Southeastern has certified 
that the rates are consistent with applicable law and that they are the 
lowest possible rates to customers

[[Page 53757]]

consistent with sound business principles.

Environmental Impact

    Southeastern has reviewed the possible environmental impacts of the 
rate adjustment under consideration and has concluded that, because the 
adjusted rates would not significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment within the meaning of the National Environmental Policy Act 
of 1969, the proposed action is not a major Federal action for which 
preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement is required. (10 CFR 
Part 1021, Subpart D, App. B4.3)

Availability of Information

    Information regarding these rates, including studies, and other 
supporting materials is available for public review in the offices of 
Southeastern Power Administration, 1166 Athens Tech Road, Elberton, 
Georgia 30635-6711.

Submission to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

    The rates hereinafter confirmed and approved on an interim basis, 
together with supporting documents, will be submitted promptly to FERC 
for confirmation and approval on a final basis, ending no later than 
September 30, 2012.

Order

    In view of the foregoing and pursuant to the authority delegated to 
me by the Secretary of Energy, I hereby confirm and approve on an 
interim basis, effective October 1, 2007, attached Wholesale Power Rate 
Schedules SOCO-1-C, SOCO-2-C, SOCO-3-C, SOCO-4-C, ALA-1-L, MISS-1-L,

or substitute rate schedules on a final basis.

    Dated: September 11, 2007.

shall preclude modifications to the aforementioned contracts to allow 
an eligible customer to elect service under another rate schedule.
    Applicability: This rate schedule shall be applicable to the sale 
at wholesale of power and accompanying energy generated at the 
Allatoona, Buford, J. Strom Thurmond, Walter F. George, Hartwell, 
Millers Ferry, West Point, Robert F. Henry, Carters and Richard B. 
Russell Projects and sold under appropriate contracts between the 
Government and the Customer. This rate schedule does not apply to
