<br />.. <br />, <br />~ <br /> <br />OQ}710 <br /> <br />. . <br />UNITED STATES <br />DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR <br />8UREAU OF RECLAMATION <br /> <br />AND <br /> <br />UNITED STATES <br />DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY <br />WESTERN AREA POWER ADMINISTRATION <br /> <br />AGREEMENT ON COLORADO RIVER STORAGE PROJECT <br />POWER REPAYMENT STUDIES <br /> <br />(r <br /> <br />~. <br /> <br />Over the last several years, the Colorado River Energy Distributors <br />Association (CREDA) has disagreed with the Western Area Power <br />Administration (Western) on the appropriate level of rates for power <br />generated by the Colorado River Storage Project (CRSP). This difference of <br />opinion resulted in CREDA's filing of protests as to CRSP rates before the <br />Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The FERC in its decision on <br />Western's FY-1977 rate. held that future CRS? participating projects should <br />not be included in the power repayment study unless the Bureau of <br />Reclamation (Bureau) made a gOOd faith showing of a reasonable expectation <br />that a project or a separable feature thereof would be constructed, <br /> <br />Since the FERC ruling. Western, the Bureau, and CREDA have explored <br />mutually agreeable means of implementation of the reasonable expectation <br />standard. General agreement has been reached as to the adoption of certain <br />policies, methods and standards that will satisfy the FERC test, the con- <br />cerns of CREDA, Western and the Bureau and meet the requirements of the <br />CRSP act. The following policies, methods and standards will be used as a <br />result of these agreements in the development of CRSP power rates, com- <br />mencing with the next CRSP rate revision to be promultated by Western, but <br />not including any substitute rates necessitated by the rejection of any <br />CRSP power rates currently with the FERC. <br /> <br />1. The parties hereto agree that the power repayment study must include <br />all authorized CRSP participating projects. The Bureau agrees, however, to <br />schedule repayment requirements for projects in an indefinite status such <br />that they do not control the rate under consideration. Participating pro- <br />jects or separable features thereof shall not be included in the rate <br />setting years of the power repayment study unless a definite plan report is <br />prepared, water rights are substantially acquired, environmental clearances <br />are obtained and repayment contracts with water users are signed. <br />Exceptions to this standard may be exercised at the discretion of the <br />Commissioner of the Bureau (i) on behalf of Indian projects, (ii) for the <br />Animas-La Plata project, and (iii) where Congress has appropriated <br />construction funds. <br />
