DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. EF96-5091-000, et al.]
Western Area Power Administration, et al.; Electric Rate and
Corporate Regulation Filings
December 15, 1995.
Take notice that the following filings have been made with the
Commission:
1. Western Area Power Administration
[Docket No. EF96-5091-000]
Take notice that on November 2, 1995, the Deputy Secretary of the
Department of Energy, by Rate Order No. WAPA-70, did confirm and
approve on an interim basis, to be effective on November 1, 1995, the
Western Area Power Administration's (Western) Rate Schedule BCP-F5 for
firm power service from the Boulder Canyon Project.
The rate methodology in Rate Schedule BCP-F5 will be in effect
pending the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) approval on a
final basis, ending September 30, 2000, or until superseded.
The Power Repayment Spreadsheet Study indicated that the existing
rate methodology results in collecting revenues in excess of that
allowed by law through the Rate Year. The proposed rate schedule will
yield appropriate revenues.
Upon completion of the Uprating Credit Procedures and receipt of
revised Uprating Credit Schedules, the FY 1996 Energy Dollar and
Capacity Dollar will be adjusted by the difference between the
originally projected Annual Uprating Credit Payments and the revised
Annual Uprating Credit Payments and spread over the remaining months of
FY 1996 so the BCP Contractors will not pay more than the FY 1996
Annual Revenue Requirement.
The Administrator of Western certifies that the rate methodology is
consistent with applicable law and provide the lowest possible rate
consistent with sound business principles. The Deputy Secretary of the
Department of Energy states that the rate schedule is submitted for
confirmation and approval on a final basis for a period of November 1,
1995, and ending September 30, 2000, pursuant to authority vested in
FERC by Delegation Order No. 0204-108, as amended.

complaint under Sections 205, 206 and 306 of the Federal Power Act, 16

Electric). The complaint alleges that Tucson Electric overcharged Salt
River for wholesale power.
Specifically, the complaint alleges that Tucson Electric improperly
included fixed, capital lease costs for coal handling facilities, which
were incurred by its corporate affiliate, in Tucson Electric's fuel
account. The complaint also alleges that Tucson Electric improperly
included financing costs, property taxes, management fees and costs
identified only as ``other'' in its fuel account. According to the
complaint, Tucson Electric unlawfully passed these affiliate costs
through to Salt River in a formula energy rate designed to track
fluctuations in the price of fuel and purchased power. To remedy the
alleged overcharges, the complaint seeks approximately $3.9 million in
refunds, plus interest.
