RTO Border Utility Issues; Notice of

Technical Conference on RTO Border

Utility Issues

wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES

June 8, 2006.

Take notice that on July 10, 2006, staff

of the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission will convene a technical

conference on RTO border utility issues.

The conference will be held at the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC

20426. The conference will be open to

the public. Commission staff will lead

the conference and the Commissioners

plan to attend.

In a recent Commission proceeding,

parties raised the issue of an electric

utility’s ability to benefit from an RTO/

ISO’s regional markets while avoiding

some or all of the costs attributable to

VerDate Aug<31>2005

18:25 Jun 15, 2006

Jkt 208001

membership in the RTO/ISO.1 The

Commission found that the issues raised

‘‘generic concerns with implications

applicable to all RTOs and ISOs and to

all market participants with whom they

interact, whether directly or indirectly.’’

The Commission then announced its

intention to establish a technical

conference to hear from interested

parties concerning this issue.

Conference participants are asked to

identify discrete concerns and

contrasting views, establish which

specific market services, reliability

functions, and other features of RTO/

ISO markets provide non-members with

benefits for which they may not bear an

appropriate share of the respective

costs, or otherwise should not be

entitled to, and propose solutions to

identified problems. The Commission

wishes to be informed about this issue

across the country and invites

representatives of all regions to

participate.

Persons wishing to participate as

panelists in the conference are asked to

e-mail the following information to

Commission staff by June 15, 2006:

Name, organizational affiliation name

and mailing address, title, voice and fax

telephone numbers, e-mail address,

brief bio, and a description of the

proposed topic of presentation. Persons

interested in attending the conference as

a member of the audience are

encouraged to e-mail their name and

affiliation to facilitate security check in

and to estimate meeting room needs.

Both prospective panelists and audience

members should e-mail their

information to Kristine.Bailey@ferc.gov.

In the body of the e-mail, please identify

yourself as a potential panelist or

audience member, and use ‘‘RTO Border

Utility Conference’’ on the e-mail

subject line. If you do not have access

to e-mail, you may call Ms. Bailey at

202–502–6072.

Southwestern Power Administration

Integrated System Power Rates

AGENCY: Southwestern Power

Administration, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of public review and

comment.

SUMMARY: The Administrator,

Southwestern Power Administration

(Southwestern), has prepared Current

and Revised 2006 Power Repayment

Studies which show the need for an

increase in annual revenues to meet cost

recovery criteria. Such increased

revenues are needed primarily to cover

increased investments and replacements

in hydroelectric generating facilities and

increased purchased power expenses.

The Administrator has developed

proposed Integrated System rates, which

are supported by a rate design study, to

recover the required revenues. The May

2006 Revised Study indicates that the

proposed rates would increase annual

system revenues approximately 25.9

percent from $136,267,400 to

$171,505,848, over a three-year period

to meet projected annual expenses and

repay the investments in facilities over

the required number of years.

DATES: The consultation and comment

period will begin on the date of
