<br />COP Y <br /> <br />;, <br /> <br />in power rates of the Bureau of Reclamation. It applies to general <br /> <br />adjustments in the power rates for a project that are necessary to <br /> <br />assure financial feasibility, but it does not apply to other rate <br /> <br />actions that have a minor impact on financial feasibility, such as <br /> <br />technical adjustments in rates, the adoption of special rates for <br /> <br />limited purposes, the adoption of rates for use in connection with <br /> <br />power pool operations, and the like. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />2. Statutory authority. The establishment of power rates by <br /> <br />the Bureau of Reclamation for Federal Reclamation projects is <br /> <br />pursuant to the Reclamation Act of 1902, as amended and supplemented <br /> <br />by subsequent enactments, particularly section 9(c) of the Reclamation <br /> <br />Project Act of 1939, 43 V.S.C. 485h(c), and the acts specifically <br /> <br />applicable to the project in question. Consideration also is given <br /> <br />to the statutes under which other interior power marketing agencies <br /> <br />operate, particularly section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944, <br /> <br />16 V.S.C. 825s, and the Bonneville Project Act, as amended, <br /> <br />16 U.S.C. 832 et seq. <br /> <br />< <br /> <br />3. Definitions. As used herein-- <br /> <br />a. "Departmental" refers to all personnel and components <br /> <br />of the Department of the Interior, including, but not limited to, the <br /> <br />Office of the Secretary, the Office of the Solicitor, and the Bureau <br /> <br />of Reclamation. <br /> <br />COP Y <br /> <br />53 <br />
