SUMMARY: The Western Area Power
Administration (Western) is conducting
a public process to propose a Final
Resource Adequacy (RA) Plan for
transactions in the California
Independent System Operator
Corporation’s (CAISO) Balancing
Authority Area. Pending the
development of this Final RA Plan,
Western has established interim RA
Plans to facilitate its transactions in the
CAISO Balancing Authority Area.
Western is developing this proposed
Final RA Plan as a Local Regulatory
Authority (LRA). The Final RA Plan
implemented by Western will be
submitted to the CAISO and will be
utilized by Western when Western is
acting as a Load Serving Entity (LSE) in
the CAISO Balancing Authority Area.
Western’s Current RA Plan became
effective on September 30, 2006, and
will remain in effect until superseded
by the Final RA Plan developed in this
process.
DATES: The consultation and comment
period will begin on the date of
publication of this Federal Register
notice and will end on May 25, 2007.
Western will present a detailed
explanation of the proposed Final RA
Plan at a public information forum on
May 2, 2007, 1:30 p.m. PDT, Rancho
Cordova, CA. Western will hold a public
comment forum on May 9, 2007, 1:30

addition, the public may submit written

forums at the Marriott, 11211 Point East
Drive, Rancho Cordova, CA. Written
comments can be mailed, faxed, or emailed to Ms. Sonja A. Anderson,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authorities
Western is developing this proposed
Final RA Plan in accordance with its
power marketing authorities, which
includes the Act of June 17, 1902 (32
Stat. 388), the Act of August 26, 1937
(50 Stat. 844), the Act of August 4, 1939
(53 Stat. 1187), and the Department of
Energy Organization Act of August 4,
1977 (91 Stat. 565), including all acts
amendatory and/or supplementary to
the above listed.
Background
On February 9, 2006, the CAISO filed
its comprehensive Market Redesign
Technology Upgrade (MRTU) Tariff
with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (Commission).1 Under the
MRTU Tariff, the CAISO proposed to
end the current ‘‘must offer’’ structure
and transition to a capacity-based
system. In this capacity-based system,
the California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC) and other LRAs
establish procurement requirements for
all LSEs within their jurisdiction to
obtain sufficient resources to meet their
load with an adequate reserve margin
and to ensure appropriate resources will
be made available to the CAISO in the
Day-Ahead Market, the Hour-Ahead
1 FERC Docket ER06–615 (2006).
