Department of Energy Deputy Secretary In the Matter of: Southeastern Power Administration), Kerr-Philpott System Power Rates), Rate Order No. SEPA-58 Order Confirming and Approving Power Rates on an Interim Basis Pursuant to Sections 302(a) of the Department of Energy Organization Act, Public Law 95-91, the functions of the Secretary of the Interior and the Federal Power Commission under Section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944, 16 U.S.C. 825s, relating to the Southeastern Power Administration (Southeastern), were transferred to and vested in the Secretary of Energy. By Delegation Order No. 00-037.00A, effective December 6, 2001, the Secretary of Energy delegated to Southeastern's Administrator the authority to develop power and transmission rates, to the Deputy Secretary of Energy the authority to confirm, approve, and place in effect such rates on interim basis, and to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) the authority to confirm, approve, and place into effect on a final basis or to disapprove rates developed by the Administrator under the delegation. This rate is issued by the Deputy Secretary pursuant to that delegation order. Background Power from the Kerr-Philpott Projects is presently sold under Wholesale [[Page 57354]] Power Rate Schedules VA-1-B, VA-2-B, VA-3-B, VA-4-B, CP&L-1-B, CP&L-2- B, CP&L-3-B, CP&L-4-B, AP-1-B, AP-2-B, AP-3-B, AP-4-B, NC-1-B, and Replacement-2-A. These rate schedules were approved by the FERC on March 11, 2011, for a period ending September 30, 2015 (134 FERC 62,233). Public Notice and Comment Notice of a proposed rate adjustment for the Kerr-Philpott System was published in the Federal Register (80 FR 12819) on March 11, 2015. The notice advised interested parties that a public information and comment forum would be held in Boydton, Virginia on April 21, 2015. Written comments were due on or before June 9, 2015. The proposed rate adjustment was a reduction of about six percent (6%). Subsequent to the Public Information and Comment Forum on April 21, Southeastern discovered an error due to omissions in the repayment study used to develop the proposed rate schedules. Two accounting lines were omitted from the estimated Corps O&M expenses included in the study. The accounting lines were Work Category Code 602, Operation for Flood Damage Reduction, and Work Category Code 612, Maintenance for Flood Damage Reduction. On June 1, 2015, Southeastern sent a letter to all Kerr-Philpott customers notifying them of the error and notifying them Southeastern intended to add the omitted accounting lines and correct the error in the rate schedules Southeastern would recommend to the Deputy Secretary. After these corrections, the proposed rate is an increase of about 2.2 percent. Southeastern received comments from one source, the Southeast Federal Power Customers, Inc., as a result of the above notifications. The comments and Southeastern's response are below. Comment: The SeFPC questions whether the expenses in accounts WCC 602 and 612 should properly be assigned to hydropower as a joint expense. Given the Congressional Mandate to provide flood control at the Kerr and Philpott projects, the assignment of these costs appears to be arbitrary, capricious, and not consistent with the authorizing statutes. The SeFPC would ask SEPA to review the inclusion of these costs and work with Corps representatives to remove such expenses as joint expense for purpose of the proposed rate. Failure to take this action would impose over $10 million in additional cost for the hydropower customers over the five year study period in the repayment study which should properly be borne by the flood control purpose. The referenced Work Category Codes 602 and 612 contain operation and maintenance expenses associated with flood risk management. The Corps has taken the position the John H. Kerr and Philpott final cost allocations state that the only specific costs at these reservoirs are Power and Recreation, and that as a result, the Corps cannot charge costs to the flood control purpose at these projects. The $10 million assigned to hydropower and disputed by SeFPC include the operations, maintenance and readiness of equipment associated with spillways, sluices, pumping plants and earthen dams. The Corps has included these costs in the O&M expenses included in the financial statements provided to Southeastern for the John H. Kerr and Philpott projects. SeFPC has raised legitimate questions about the nature and assignment of WCC s 602 and 612. Further study of this issue is necessary. Southeastern will continue to discuss with the Corps the appropriateness of assigning these costs solely to hydropower. Southeastern and the Corps have discussed the need for a new authorized purpose allocation study and agreed to jointly fund the effort. Once completed, Southeastern and the Corps will work together to determine whether costs in these accounts should be allocated to purposes other than Power and Recreation. A reallocation could significantly reduce the proportion of charges assigned to Southeastern's power customers and ensure that costs are being assigned to appropriate cost-causers. Discussion System Repayment An examination of Southeastern's revised system power repayment study, prepared in July 2015, for the Kerr-Philpott System shows that with the proposed rates, all system power costs are paid within the appropriate repayment period required by existing law and DOE Procedure RA 6120.2. The Administrator of Southeastern Power Administration has certified that the rates are consistent with applicable law and that they are the lowest possible rates to customers consistent with sound business principles, pursuant to section 5 of the Flood Control Act (16 U.S.C.A.835(s)). Environmental Impact Southeastern has reviewed the possible environmental impacts of the rate adjustment under consideration and has concluded that, because the adjusted rates would not significantly affect the quality of the human environment within the meaning of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C.A 4332), the proposed action is not a major Federal action for which preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement is required. Availability of Information Information regarding these rates, including studies and other supporting materials and transcripts of the public information and comment forum, is available for public review in the offices of Southeastern Power Administration, 1166 Athens Tech Road, Elberton, Georgia 30635, and in the Power Marketing Liaison Office, James Forrestal Building, 1000 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20585.

For every $100,000 under-recovery of the planned cumulative net revenue available for repayment, Southeastern will increase the base capacity charge by $0.02 per kilowatt per month, up to a maximum of $0.75 per kilowatt per month, and increase the base energy charge by 0.10 mills per kilowatt-hour, up to a maximum of 3.0 mills per kilowatt per hour, to be implemented April 1 of the next fiscal year. For every $100,000 of over-recovery of the planned cumulative net revenue available for repayment, Southeastern will reduce the base capacity charge by $0.02 per kilowatt per month, up to a maximum of $0.75 per kilowatt per month, and reduce the base energy charge by 0.10 mills per kilowatt-hour, up to a maximum of 3.0 mills per kilowatt per hour, to be implemented April 1 of the next fiscal year. Southeastern will give written notice to the customers of the amount of the true-up to the capacity and energy rates by February 1 of the next fiscal year. Additional rates for transmission and ancillary services provided under this rate schedule shall be the rates charged Southeastern Power Administration by the Company or PJM. Future adjustments to these rates will become effective upon acceptance for filing by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) of the Company's rate. Ancillary Services: 0.34 mills per kilowatt-hour of energy estimated as of April 2015, is presented for illustrative purposes. The initial charge for transmission and Ancillary Services will be the Customer's ratable share of the charges for transmission, distribution, and ancillary services paid by the Government. The charges for transmission and ancillary services are governed by and subject to refund based upon the determination in proceedings before the FERC involving the Company's or PJM's Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT). Proceedings before FERC involving the OATT or the Distribution charge may result in the separation of charges currently included in the transmission rate. In this event, the Government may charge the Customer for any and all separate transmission, ancillary services, and distribution charges paid by the Government in behalf of the Customer. These charges could be recovered through a capacity charge or an energy charge, as determined by the Government. Tandem Transmission Charge: $0.42 per kilowatt of total contract demand per month, as an estimated cost as of April 2015. The tandem transmission charge will recover the cost of transmitting power from a project to the border of another transmitting system. This rate will be a formulary rate based on the cost to the Government for transmission of power from the Philpott project to the border of the Virginia Electric and Power Company System and the cost to the Government for transmission of power from the John H. Kerr Project to the border of the Duke Energy Progress System. These charges could be recovered through a capacity charge or an energy charge, as determined by the Government.

These non-performance charges, if incurred, will be allocated to the capacity delivered in PJM (currently 120,100 kilowatts) in the month incurred. Contract Demand: The contract demand is the amount of capacity in kilowatts stated in the contract which the Government is obligated to supply and the Customer is entitled to receive. Energy to be Furnished by the Government: The Government will sell to the Customer and the Customer will purchase from the Government energy each billing month equivalent to a percentage specified by contract of the energy made available to the Company (less applicable losses). The Customer's contract demand and accompanying energy will be allocated proportionately to its individual delivery points served from the Company's system. The applicable energy loss factor for transmission is specified in the OATT. These losses shall be effective until modified by the FERC, pursuant to application by the Company or PJM under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act or Southeastern Power Administration under Section 206 of the Federal Power Act or otherwise. Billing Month: The billing month for power sold under this schedule shall end at 12:00 midnight on the last day of each calendar month.
