(4a) Changes to Information Collection

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

(1) Change the title from ‘‘Monthly
Crude Oil, Lease Condensate, and
Natural Gas Production Report,’’ to
‘‘Monthly Crude Oil and Lease
Condensate, and Natural Gas Production
Report.’’
(2) For Sections 2 and 3, instead of
selecting only one pre-existing comment
in the comments box, the box will allow
for the selection of multiple frequentlyused pre-existing comments, as well as
the ability to write-in producer specific
comments.
(3) EIA will publish separate
estimates for Alabama, Federal Offshore
Pacific, Michigan, Mississippi, and
Virginia and will no longer include data
for these states in the ‘‘Other States’’
category. To separately publish these
five new states/areas, EIA will collect
crude oil and lease condensate
production, crude oil and lease
condensate sales (run ticket) volumes by
API gravity, natural gas gross
withdrawals, and natural gas lease
production volumes. As a result, EIA
will publish data for a total of 21 states/
areas and one category designated
‘‘Other States.’’ The ‘‘Other States,’’
category will include the remaining
states of Arizona, Florida, Idaho,
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland,
Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New York,
Oregon, Tennessee, and South Dakota.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 500; (6) Annual Estimated
Number of Total Responses: 6,000; (7)
Annual Estimated Number of Burden
Hours: 24,000; (8) Annual Estimated
Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost
Burden: EIA estimates that there are no
capital and start-up costs associated
with this data collection. The
information is maintained during the
normal course of business. The cost of
burden hours to the respondents is
estimated to be $1,767,840 (24,000
burden hours times $73.66). Other than
the cost of burden hours, EIA estimates
that there are no additional costs for
generating, maintaining, and providing
this information.

[Docket EF17–4–000]

Before Commissioners: Neil
Chatterjee, Chairman; Cheryl A.
LaFleur, and Robert F. Powelson;
Bonneville Power Administration;
Order Approving Rates on an Interim
Basis and Providing Opportunity for
Additional Comments
1. In this order, we approve on an
interim basis Bonneville Power
Administration’s (Bonneville) proposed
2018–2019 transmission rates for
transmission service on the Southern
Intertie (IS Rates),1 pending our further
review.2 We also provide an additional
period of time for parties to file
comments.
I. Background
2. On July 31, 2017,3 Bonneville filed
a request for interim and final approval
of its IS Rates (IS–18) in accordance
with section 7 of the Pacific Northwest
Electric Power Planning and
Conservation Act (Northwest Power
Act) 4 and Part 300 of the Commission’s
regulations.5 Bonneville states that,
although its rate design is not subject to
Commission review, it provides a
summary of the hourly rate design
change on the Southern Intertie for
informational purposes. Bonneville
explains that the change is significant,
increasing the hourly rates
approximately 170 percent, but asserts
that the adopted revisions are necessary
to address the impact of increased
renewable generation in California in
combination with seams issues between
the transmission system connecting the
Pacific Northwest and California.6
3. Bonneville projects that the filed
rates will produce average annual
transmission revenues of $1.044 billion
1 The Southern Intertie is a system of
transmission lines and substations that transmit
power between the Pacific Northwest and
California, and is primarily used to export power
from the Pacific Northwest and Canada to
California. Bonneville Administrator’s Final Record
of Decision 5.2.2.
2 Today, we also approve on an interim basis
Bonneville’s other transmission rates filed in
Docket No. EF17–3–000. See Bonneville Power
Admin., 160 FERC ¶61,112 (2017).
3 Bonneville submitted errata filings on August 7,
2017, and August 10, 2017 to correct various
attachments to the July 31, 2017 Transmittal Letter
and to add inadvertently omitted documents to the
record.

rate increase in greater detail).

and annual net revenues of $4.65
million.7 Bonneville asserts that this
level of annual revenues is sufficient to
recover its costs for the 2018–2019 rate
approval period, while providing cash
flow to ensure at least a 95 percent
probability of making all payments to
the United States Treasury in full and
on time for each year of the rate period.8
II. Notice of Filing
4. Notice of Bonneville’s July 31, 2017
filing was published in the Federal
Register, 82 FR 37,445 (2017),9 with
protests and interventions due on or
before August 30, 2017. Timely motions
to intervene were filed by Pacific
Northwest Generating Cooperative,
Powerex Corporation, Sierra Club and
Montana Environmental Information
Center, Avista Corporation, Northwest
Requirements Utilities, Industrial
Customers of Northwest Utilities,
NorthWestern Corporation, Western
Public Agencies Group, M–S–R Public
Power Agency, Snohomish County
Public Utility District No. 1, Public
Power Council, Puget Sound Energy
Inc., Idaho Power Company, and
Avangrid Renewables LLC. Renewable
Northwest filed a timely motion to
intervene and comments. Sacramento
Municipal Utility District, Transmission
Agency of Northern California, and
Turlock Irrigation District (collectively,
Northern California Utilities) filed a
timely motion to intervene, protest,
objection to the motion for interim rate
approval, request for an evidentiary
hearing, and alternative request for stay
of implementation of hourly
transmission rates. On September 15,
2017, Bonneville filed a request for
leave to answer and an answer to
Northern California Utilities’ protest,
and on September 19, 2017, Northern
California Utilities filed an answer to
Bonneville’s answer. On September 22,
2017, Bonneville filed an answer to
Northern California Utilities’ September
19 answer.

proposed rate increase for southbound
