only to power rates. In addition, the rates methodology on which the current transmission rates are based was not changed. Consequently, Western is initiating the published rate adjustment procedures. The procedures adopted by the Department of Energy for transmission and power rate adjustments give interested persons a reasonable opportunity for participation in the development of the rates. The first step required by the procedure is the issuance of a Federal Register notice and distribution of this brochure, announcing the proposed transmission rates and the criteria used in determining the rates. A public consultation and comment period starts with the date of the Federal Register notice and ends 30 days thereafter for minor rate adjustments. A minor rate adjustment is one which will produce less than one percent change in the annual revenues of a power system or is for a power system which has either annual sales normally less than 100 million kilowatt hours or an installed capacity of less than 20,000 kilowatts. This is a minor rate adjustment since the anticipated increase in revenue is less than one percent of the total CRSP revenues. During this period, interested person will have the opportunity to consult with and obtain information from Western representatives. They also may examine repayment study data and suggest changes. B.
