Office of the Assistant Secretary--Water and Science; Notice of 
Termination of a Lease of Power Privilege Process for the Spanish Fork 
Flow Control Structure of the Central Utah Project

AGENCY: Central Utah Project Completion Act Office, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of the Interior is announcing the termination 
of a lease of power privilege process for the Spanish Fork Flow Control 
Structure of the Central Utah Project located in Utah County, Utah.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Additional information related to this 
Federal Register Notice may be obtained by contacting Mr. Lee Baxter, 
Program Coordinator, Central Utah Project Completion Act Office, 
Department of the Interior, 302 East 1860 South, Provo, Utah 84606; 
(801) 379-1174; [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The process for non-Federal development of 
hydroelectric power at the Spanish Fork Flow Control Structure was 
established through a Federal Register Notice (Notice) published May 
11, 2011. The Notice announced the Department of the Interior's intent 
to consider proposals for non-Federal development of hydroelectric 
power at the Spanish Fork Flow Control Structure of the Central Utah 
Project. The Notice presented background information, proposal content 
guidelines, information concerning the selection of a non-Federal 
entity to develop hydroelectric power at the Spanish Fork River Flow 
Control Structure, and power purchasing and/or marketing 
considerations. The Notice also established the deadline for a 
potential lessee to enter into a lease with the United States as 5 
years after notification of the selection of a potential lessee.
    On October 13, 2011, a joint proposal from the Central Utah Water 
Conservancy District, Strawberry Water Users Association, and the South 
Valley Electric Service District was received in response to the 
Notice. The joint proposal was reviewed by an evaluation team comprised 
of specialists from the Bureau of Reclamation, Western Area Power 
Administration, and the Bonneville Power Administration.
    Based upon the recommendation from the evaluation team, the joint 
proposal was selected by the Department of the Interior as the 
potential lessee for non-Federal power development at the Spanish Fork 
Flow Control Structure. The joint applicants were notified of this 
decision by correspondence dated March 9, 2012, and were given a 
deadline of March 9, 2017, to enter into a lease with the United 
States.
    The deadline for entering into a lease has now passed and a lease 
was not negotiated and executed with the Department of the Interior. As 
a result, the Department of the Interior has rescinded the selection of 
Central Utah Water Conservancy District, Strawberry Water Users 
Association, and the South Valley Electric Service District as the 
successful potential joint lessee and has terminated this lease of 
power privilege process for the Spanish Fork Flow Control Structure.
    Future non-Federal development of hydroelectric power at the 
Spanish Fork Flow Control Structure would be considered upon request 
from interested parties. However, no formal request for proposals is 
being made by the Department of the Interior at this time.

    Dated: June 21, 2017.

 Program Director, Department of the Interior.
