Notice of Proposed Program and Request for Public Comments
AGENCY: Western Area Power Administration, DOE.
ACTION: Notice of Proposed Program and Request for Public Comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Western Area Power Administration (Western) proposes to
adopt a Transmission Infrastructure Program. The Program is being
proposed to implement section 402 of the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) for the purpose of
constructing, financing, facilitating, planning, operating,
maintaining, or studying construction of new or upgraded electric power
transmission lines and related facilities with at least one terminus
within the area served by Western and for delivering or facilitating
the delivery of power generated by renewable energy resources
constructed or reasonably expected to be constructed. The proposed
Program would use authority granted under this section to borrow funds
from the U.S. Treasury to accomplish these purposes. The Recovery Act
also calls for Western to use a public process to develop practices and
policies that implement the authority granted by this section. To
expedite the development process, Western is offering this initial
proposal. This Federal Register notice (FRN) seeks public comment on
these proposed principles, policies and practices.
DATES: The consultation and comment period begins today and ends April
3, 2009. Western will present an explanation of the proposed program
and accept oral and written comments at a public meeting on March 23,
2009, beginning at 1 p.m. MDT, in Lakewood, Colorado. The meeting will
also be Webcast. Western will accept written comments any time during
the consultation and comment period. Written comments on the proposed
Program should be submitted to Western by April 3, 2009.
ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be held at Western's Corporate
Services Office, 12155 West Alameda Parkway, Lakewood, CO 80228 on the
date listed above. Send written comments to: Transmission
Infrastructure Program, Western Area Power Administration, P.O. Box
281213, Lakewood, CO 80228-8213, e-mail txprogram@wapa.gov. Western
will post information about the program development on its Web site at
http://www.wapa.gov, including written comments received in response to
this notice after the close of the comment period. Western must receive
written comments by the end of the consultation and comment period to
ensure they are considered in Western's decision process.
As access to Western facilities is controlled, any U.S. citizen
wishing to attend any meetings at Western must present a government-
issued form of picture identification, such as a U.S. driver's license,
U.S. passport, U.S. government ID, or U.S. military ID, at the time of
the meeting. Foreign nationals should contact Western at least 15 days
in advance of this meeting to obtain the necessary form for admittance
to the meeting.
