Show APPENDIX VI VI 41 PART II-COMMENTS RECEIVED AND RELATED CORRESPONDENCE Additional Regulation No. 1 By letter of April 4, 19G2, the Commissioner of Reclamation requested the comments of the Hoover contractors on additional regulation No. 1. Comments were received from the Arizona Power Authority, California Electric Power Co., Colorado Power Commission of Nevada, city of Los Angeles, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, and Southern California Edison Co. Comments were not received from the cities of Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena; Calif. June 11, 1902. Memorandum To: Secretary of the Interior. Through: Assistant Secretarv Kenneth Holum. From: Commissioner of Reclamation. Subject: Additional regulation No. 1 to the General Regulations for Generation and Sale of Power in Accordance With the Boulder Canyon Project Adjustment Act. On April 4, 1962, in your behalf, and as required by article 27 of the "General Regulations for Generation and Sale of Power in Accordance With the Boulder Canvon Project Adjustment Act," I sent copies of the proposed additional regulation No. 1 to the Hoover power contractors. The contractors' comments on the additional regulation No. 1 were requested within 30 days. The 30 days have now expired and we have received comments from six of the nine contractors. The comments received are as follows: Arizona Power Authority: Declined to comment and urged discussion of the matters it had previously raised in connection with the filling criteria for Lake Powell. California Electric Power Co.: Expressed its view that additional regulation No. 1 is unfair in forcing the Hoover power contractors to pay for a power loss caused by the rilling of Lake Powell. This cost, it contends, should be paid by the Upper Basin States. If, however, the Hoover contractors must stand the cost, the company prefers to see the funds repaid after 1987, but the moneys used should be repaid without interest. Colorado River Commission of Nevada: Questions the necessity and/or practicability of considering this proposed regulation at this time since it does not become effective until June 1, 1987. Citv of Los Angeles: While it assumes that additional regulation ^\o. 1 contemplates reimbursement without interest, it prefers that the regulation state specifically that such reimbursement is to be without interest. Metropolitan Water District of Southern California: Withheld its comments pending study of alternative proposal to use Colorado River development fund to make allowance for diminution in Hoover basic firm energy during filling period. 86 |
