E8-363 Filed 1-10-08; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6450-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Finding of No Significant Impact; Energy Efficient Performance Requirements for New Federal Commercial and Residential Buildings AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. ACTION: Finding of no significant impact (FONSI). SUMMARY: The Energy Conservation and Production Act (ECPA), 42 U.S.C. 6831, *et seq.* requires the Department of Energy
(DOE)to establish by rule building energy efficiency standards for all new Federal buildings. (42 U.S.C. 6834(a)(1)) Section 305 of ECPA, as amended by section 109 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. L. No. 109-58), mandates the development of new Federal building energy efficiency standards based on the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE)/Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004 (ASHRAE 2004) (for commercial and high-rise multi-family residential buildings) and the International Code Council
(ICC)International Energy Conservation Code 2004 Supplement (2004 IECC) (for low-rise residential buildings). (42 U.S.C. 6834(a)(2)) Federal buildings are required to reduce energy consumption by at least 30 percent, if life cycle cost-effective, over these baseline standards. (42 U.S.C. 6834(a)(3)(A)(i)) Based on an Environmental Assessment (EA), DOE/EA-1463, DOE has determined that the adoption of the new energy efficiency standards “Energy Efficiency Standard for New Federal Commercial and High-Rise Multi-Family Residential Buildings” (10 CFR Part 433) and “Energy Efficiency Standard for New Federal Low-Rise Residential Buildings” (10 CFR Part 435) would not be a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment within the meaning of the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)of 1969. Therefore, an environmental impact statement
(EIS)is not required, and the Department is issuing this finding of no significant impact (FONSI). ADDRESSES: Copies of the EA and the proposed rule are available from: U.S. Department of Energy, Office of the Federal Energy Management Program, Forrestal Building, Mail Station EE-2L, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20585-0121,

(800)472-2756. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *Description of the Proposed Action:* The action is the establishment of revised energy efficiency requirements for new Federal commercial and multi-family high rise residential buildings and low-rise residential buildings. *Environmental Impacts:* The EA evaluates the environmental impacts of five alternatives to the new standards for the design and construction of new Federal buildings. Each alternative action is presented, and the energy efficiency requirements (and hence the environmental impacts) of each alternative are compared to what would be expected to happen if no new standard were adopted, i.e., the “no action” alternative. In this EA, the “no action” alternative is the standard level under the required efficiency levels of the standards prior to amendment. The EA also examined the projected effects of standard levels mandated under section 305 of ECPA without any additional improvement in energy efficiency, i.e., the level of energy efficiency achieved under ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004 (for commercial and high-rise multi-family residential buildings) or the 2004 IECC (for low-rise residential buildings). Levels of 10 percent, 20 percent, 30 percent, 40 percent and 50 percent energy savings over the minimum requirements are examined as alternatives that might be achieved by agencies attempting to meet the “at least 30 percent savings, if life-cycle cost-effective” provision of the requirements. The EA also examines the environmental impacts of the final rule on building habitability (indoor environment, focusing on possible alterations to indoor air quality) and the outdoor environment (emissions of criteria pollutants and greenhouse gases). The EA finds that implementation of the final rule would not impact building habitability (indoor air) as no change to mechanical ventilation rates or building envelope that would affect indoor air quality are being made. The EA also finds that implementation of this rule would not adversely affect minority or low-income populations, nor is the rule expected to impact wetlands, endangered species, or historic or archaeological sites. The purpose of the final rule is to improve energy efficiency. The main environmental impact of the final rule is a reduction in emissions to the outdoor air from fossil-fueled electricity generation. The alternatives are projected to result in decreased electricity use and, therefore, a reduction in power plant emissions. The environmental analysis focuses on two criteria pollutants, nitrogen oxides (NO <sup>X</sup> ) and sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), and one additional emission, carbon. For commercial and high-rise multi-family residential buildings, at the 30 percent reduction level, carbon dioxide emissions are estimated to be reduced by 38,500 metric tons of carbon in the first year the rule is in effect, with the savings compounding in future years as more Federal construction occurs. Nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide emissions are estimated to be reduced by 317 and 625 tons, respectively, in the first year the rule is in effect. For low-rise residential buildings, at the 30 percent reduction level, carbon dioxide emissions are estimated to be reduced by 763 metric tons of carbon in the first year the rule is in effect, with the savings compounding in future years as more Federal construction occurs. Nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide emissions are estimated be reduced by about 4 tons each in the first year the rule is in effect. The EA was originally developed based on an interim final rule published on December 3, 2006. DOE received 20 comments on the interim final rule and made minor changes and clarifications in the Final Rule to address these comments. None of the changes or clarifications would lead to any change to the findings of the EA for the interim final rule. The EA was posted on the DOE Web site at ( *http://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/pdfs/doe_ea1463.pdf* ) and received no comments. Therefore, DOE is issuing the EA developed for the interim final rule in support of the final rule. *Determination:* Based upon the EA, DOE has determined that the adoption of the new building energy standards (10 CFR part 433 and 10 CFR part 435 subpart A) would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment, within the meaning of NEPA. Therefore, an EIS is not required. Issued in Washington, DC, on November 1, 2007. Alexander A. Karsner, Assistant Secretary, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. [FR Doc. E8-324 Filed 1-10-08; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6450-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. EL08-8-000] Mirant Energy Trading, LLC, Mirant Chalk Point, LLC, Mirant Mid-Atlantic, LLC, and Mirant Potomac River, LLC v. PJM Interconnection, LLC; Order on Complaint and Setting Case for Hearing and Settlement Judge Proceedings; January 4, 2008. Before Commissioners: Joseph T. Kelliher, Chairman; Suedeen G. Kelly, Marc Spitzer, Philip D. Moeller, and Jon Wellinghoff. 1. On November 8, 2007, Mirant Energy Trading, LLC, Mirant Chalk Point, LLC, Mirant Mid-Atlantic, LLC, and Mirant Potomac River, LLC (jointly, Mirant) filed a complaint against PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM). The complaint alleges that the default rate for the Third Incremental Auction as part of PJM's Reliability Pricing Model
(RPM)is unjust and unreasonable and requests that the Commission institute a new default rate for the auction to be held January 7, 2008. 2. The Commission grants, in part, and dismisses, in part, the complaint. The Commission finds that Mirant has made a sufficient showing that the prices resulting from the RPM program's Third Incremental Auction may be unjust and unreasonable and may need to be replaced. However, as Mirant's own answer indicates, even if the existing pricing structure is found unjust and unreasonable, there is a significant dispute as to the appropriate just and reasonable replacement. The Commission therefore sets the RPM market rules relating to the Third Incremental Auction for hearing, but holds the hearing in abeyance pending settlement judge proceedings. Because this proceeding will extend beyond the auction to be held on January 7, 2008, the Commission cannot make a finding on this matter before that auction is held, and refunds would not be appropriate, the Commission dismisses Mirant's complaint with respect to that auction. I. Background A. RPM 1. Auction Mechanism to Set the Price of Capacity 3. As discussed extensively in prior Commission orders, 1 the Commission found that PJM's capacity market as it existed prior to RPM was unjust and unreasonable. On August 31, 2005, PJM and several of its customers filed a proposed settlement establishing the RPM market mechanism. The settlement proposed a capacity market under which capacity sellers would offer, and PJM would purchase, capacity on a multi-year forward basis through an auction mechanism, and that prices for capacity would be derived through these forward auctions. 1 *See PJM Interconnection, LLC,* 119 FERC ¶ 61,318
(2007)(June 25 Order); *PJM Interconnection, LLC,* 117 FERC ¶ 61,331
(2006)(December 22 Order) and *PJM Interconnection, LLC,* 115 FERC ¶ 61,079 at P 9-17
(2006)(April 20 Order). 4. Under RPM, PJM conducts multiple auctions in advance of each Delivery Year to procure capacity for that year. PJM first conducts a Base Residual Auction
(BRA)three years in advance of the Delivery Year. Capacity sellers offer capacity into the BRA, and the offers create a demand curve that determines the price of capacity (absent mitigation, which will be discussed *infra* ). Thus, the offers submitted into the market determine a single clearing price for all capacity (i.e., the highest-priced offer accepted by PJM sets the price for all the capacity that PJM purchases). 2 2 Additionally, the RPM mechanism provided that different locations within PJM might have different prices, if necessary to reflect the amount of capacity that must be acquired within each separate location. 5. After the BRA for each Delivery Year, PJM conducts three incremental auctions for that year, to enable market participants to obtain additional capacity that may be needed for that Delivery Year, either to replace previously-committed resources that have become unavailable, or to accommodate an increase in the forecasted load. 3 The Third Incremental Auction (conducted four months prior to the start of the Delivery Year) allows capacity sellers to make available additional MWs of capacity for sale (either generation that did not clear an earlier auction, or generation that has newly become available due to an increase in PJM's rating of a unit's capacity), and also allows capacity buyers to obtain replacement capacity resources before the Delivery Year, if made necessary by the derating of a unit (i.e., the determination that that unit is no longer able to produce some or all of its previously determined capacity) or a decrease in PJM's rating of a unit's capacity. The cost of capacity purchased through the BRA and the Second Incremental Auction are allocated among load-serving entities
(LSEs)within PJM. The costs of the First and Third Incremental Auctions are assessed to the capacity buyers purchasing replacement resources in those auctions. 4 3 Mirant states (Complaint at 6-7, footnotes omitted): The First Incremental Auction is conducted * * * 23 months prior to the start date of the Delivery Year, and allows Capacity Market Sellers that committed resources in the BRA for such Delivery Year to submit Buy Bids for replacement capacity. * * * The Second Incremental Auction is conducted only if necessary for PJM to secure additional capacity resource commitments to satisfy an increase in the projected peak load for the PJM Region. If held, the Second Incremental Auction is conducted in April, 13 months prior to the Delivery Year. 4 Complaint at 7, footnotes omitted. 6. To ensure that capacity resources provide the capacity to which they have committed, PJM imposes a Capacity Resource Deficiency Charge on any capacity seller that is unable to deliver its full amount of committed capacity for some or all of that Delivery Year. For each day that the seller is deficient, the deficiency charge is equal to the Daily Deficiency Rate (the greater of:
(a)two times the Capacity Resource Clearing Price, or
(b)the Net Cost of New Entry) multiplied by the megawatt quantity of deficiency below the level of capacity committed in the sell offer. 2. Mitigation Measures 7. The RPM mechanism also includes mitigation measures to protect customers from the exercise of market power by generators in the RPM auctions. So as to prevent the withdrawal of capacity from the market in order to increase prices, generation capacity resources are required to submit all available capacity in the BRA for a Delivery Year. If a generation resource does not clear in the BRA, that capacity must be offered into the subsequent incremental auctions for that year. 8. Further, if the PJM area (or a local delivery area within PJM) fails the Market Structure Test conducted by the PJM market monitor (i.e., if the monitor determines that one or more sellers may be able to exercise market power), then all sellers in the area are subject to Market Seller Offer Caps for the applicable auction for that Delivery Year. 9. The Offer Cap is based on either
(a)the Avoided Cost Rate (ACR), which approximates the total cost of operating a particular generating unit, or
(b)the Opportunity Cost for the resource. The Opportunity Cost is defined as “the documented price available to an existing generation resource in a market external to PJM.” 5 5 PJM Open Access Transmission Tariff, Attachment DD, section 6.7(d)(ii). B. Mitigation in PJM's First BRA and Third Incremental Auction 10. PJM and its stakeholders are currently in a period of transitioning to full implementation of RPM. For Delivery Years during this transitional period, PJM will conduct BRAs, and some (but not all) of the incremental auctions. The Third Incremental Auction will be the last opportunity for parties to adjust their capacity positions through an auction before the applicable Delivery Year begins. The Third Incremental Auction for the 2008-2009 Delivery Year is scheduled to be held in January 2008. 11. To date, PJM has conducted three BRAs. On August 16, 2007, the PJM Market Monitor issued a report that analyzed the first BRA, conducted for the 2007-2008 Delivery Year. 6 The report stated that “[a]ll participants in the RPM auction failed the market structure tests with the result that offer caps were applied to all sellers.” 7 PJM has not yet conducted an Incremental Auction. However, the Third Incremental Auction for the 2008-2009 Delivery Year is scheduled to begin on January 7, 2008. 6 PJM Market Monitoring Unit, Analysis of the 2007-2008 RPM Auction (Aug. 16, 2007) (PJM Report), available at: *http://www.pjm.com/markets/market-monitor/reports.html.* 7 According to the Report, 1,090 Capacity Resources submitted Sell Offers in the BRA. Of those 1,090 Capacity Resources, the MMU calculated unit-specific offer caps for 125 units, 392 offers used the default offer caps values posted by the MMU, and 510 offers were price takers. Three offers were based on the seller's documented Opportunity Cost. *See* PJM Report at 1, 4, 5. C. Mirant's Complaint 12. On November 8, 2007, Mirant filed the instant complaint against PJM under section 206 of the Federal Power Act (FPA). 8 Mirant alleges that the prices yielded in the Third Incremental Auction are “almost certainly going to be unjust and unreasonable,” 9 and requests the Commission to direct PJM to modify the definition of Opportunity Cost in section 6.7(d)(ii) of the RPM market rules so that, for the Third Incremental Auction only, Opportunity Cost is defined as the higher of the Daily Deficiency Rate or the documented price for exports. 10 8 16 U.S.C. 824e (2000). 9 Complaint at 13-14. 10 *Id.* at 14. 13. Mirant states that the combination of the must-offer requirement for Capacity Resources and what it considers to be the almost certain ACR-based capping of Sell Offers in the Third Incremental Auction will result in market-clearing prices far below competitive market values and far below levels necessary to compensate Capacity Market Sellers for the risks they are compelled to incur. 14. Mirant states that three factors pertaining to the Third Incremental Auction are likely to produce clearing prices at or near ACRs, which Mirant considers to be below prices that would be produced in a competitively workable market. First, Capacity Market Sellers that have newly available capacity are required to offer that capacity into the Third Incremental Auction, and may not hold any capacity as a physical hedge. Second, prices in the Third Incremental Auction will be based on the Sell Offers of Capacity Market Sellers who have additional capacity to sell and the Buy Bids of buyers who need to procure replacement capacity. Third, because there is no comparable Opportunity Cost that reflects the actual opportunity cost associated with supplying the incremental MWs offered in the Third Incremental Auction, Market Seller Offer Caps will be based on ACRs. 15. Mirant asserts that “there is no real doubt” that ACR rates will be applied as Offer Caps in the next several Delivery years, and that all existing Generation Capacity Resources will be subject to such offer cap mitigation. 11 Mirant states that buyers in the Third Incremental Auction will know, based on the published results of the BRA for a given Delivery Year, and the fact that PJM does not intend to calculate new ACRs for the Third Incremental Auction, what approximate ACR prices are for those sellers that have positive ACRs. Mirant states that with this knowledge, Capacity Market Buyers can, and likely will, submit Buy Bids with a price equal to or slightly below ACRs, knowing that their bids will clear because Capacity Market Sellers are capped at that level. 11 *Id.* at 16-17. 16. Mirant states that the price that should result in a workably competitive market is one where the market price equals the opportunity cost of the marginal supplier. Mirant asserts that the economic value of retaining the capacity as uncommitted (which Capacity Suppliers are not permitted to do) is the incremental risk associated with deficiency charges that can be assessed in a given Delivery Year for incremental capacity offered in the Third Incremental Auction. As a result, Mirant states that Sellers will be forced to sell their physical hedge against penalties assessed (at a Daily Deficiency Rate) for a small fraction (the ACR rate) of what their incremental capacity is worth to them. 12 12 *Id.* at 19. 17. Mirant states that the current definition of Opportunity Cost in the RPM market rules does not provide a solution to the problem of artificially depressed prices in the Third Incremental Auction, because Market Sellers have limited ability to obtain an Opportunity Cost-based Offer Cap due to their limited access to markets external to PJM. Mirant further states that nothing in the Opportunity Cost provision permits Capacity Market Sellers to hedge against the increased risk of paying deficiency charges potentially incurred for incremental capacity committed in the Third Incremental Auction. 18. Accordingly, Mirant requests that the Commission direct PJM to modify the definition of Opportunity Cost to read: ii. Opportunity Cost:
(a)Opportunity Cost shall be the documented price available to an existing generation resource in a market external to PJM. * * *
(b)In the Third Incremental Auction, Opportunity Cost shall be calculated, at the election of the existing generation resource, either:
(i)based on the methodology set forth in
(a)above, or
(ii)based on the Daily Deficiency Rate for the relevant Delivery Year as calculated by the Office of Interconnection at the time Sell Offers are required to be submitted for the Third Incremental Auction. In the event that the existing generation resource owner chooses option (b), the Market Seller Offer Cap applicable to Sell Offers relying on such generation resource shall be the Daily Deficiency Rate for the relevant Delivery Year. 19. Mirant states that its requested change to the definition of Opportunity Cost would not raise market power concerns. Mirant states that in the Third Incremental Auction, unlike the BRA and other incremental auctions:
(1)The price is established by sell offers, not the Variable Resource Requirement curve used in the BRA,
(2)participation is limited to Capacity Market Sellers, so Capacity Market Buyers, not Load Serving Entities, pay for MWs cleared,
(3)the amount of MWs being offered as additional supply by other market participants is not easily known,
(4)there is no direct link between a supplier's share of installed capacity and its share of offered capacity, and
(5)a supplier has no material information about the amount of MWs that may be offered by other market participants. Given these distinguishing characteristics of the Third Incremental Auction, Mirant concludes that, because sellers will compete to have their offers cleared, they can be expected to bid at prices below the Offer Cap level of the Daily Deficiency Rate, especially since they will be factoring in their own assessment of the risk of penalty charges in determining what the capacity is “worth” to them as a physical hedge. 13 13 *Id.* at 24. 20. Mirant states that this topic was first raised with the PJM RPM Working Group (RPMWG) on August 10, 2006. Despite several months of discussions and presentations on this issue, the RPMWG still has not reached consensus with respect to whether and how mitigation for the Third Incremental Auction should be modified. 21. Mirant requested Fast Track processing, asking the Commission to act on its Complaint before January 7, 2008. D. Answers and Comments 22. Notice of Mirant's complaint was published in the **Federal Register** , with answers, motions to intervene and comments due on or before November 29, 2007. 14 PJM filed an answer, Allegheny Energy Services Company (Allegheny), EME Companies *et al.* (EME), PPL and Constellation Parties (PPL/Constellation), the Borough of Chambersburg, PA (Chambersburg), the Old Dominion Electric Cooperative and PJM Industrial Customer Coalition (ODEC/PJMICC), the Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative (SMEC), PEPCO Holdings (PEPCO), the Tenaska Fund Entities (Tenaska) and Tenaska Power Services (Tenaska Power) filed timely comments and protests, and Reliant Energy, Inc., Dayton Power and Light Company, Exelon Corporation, FPL Energy Generators, the Office of the People's Counsel of the District of Columbia, American Electric Power Service Corporation, Dynegy Power Marketing, Inc., North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation, Duke Companies, NRG Companies, the Public Service Commission of Maryland, the Pennsylvania Office of Consumer Advocate, Dominion Resources Services, Inc., the Maryland Office of People's Counsel, and PSEG Companies filed timely motions to intervene. The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities filed a motion to intervene out of time on December 6, 2007. Indicated Buyers filed an answer to the preceding filings on December 4, 2007, 15 and Mirant filed an answer on December 10, 2007. 14 72 FR 65,320 (2007). 15 Indicated Buyers consist of ODEC, PJMICC, SMEC, Portland Cement Association, Mittal Steel, North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation, the Office of the People's Counsel of the District of Columbia, Pennsylvania Office of the Consumer Advocate, the Public Power Association of New Jersey, and Chambersburg. 23. PJM, in its answer, agrees with Mirant's view that because sellers will be required to offer all available capacity into the Third Incremental Auction, and could be compensated at levels well below the value of that capacity to the seller as replacement capacity for its own possible later-occurring deficiencies, the current mitigation provisions are unjust and unreasonable. PJM explains that prospective buyers may either bid up to the level of the deficiency charges they avoid by securing replacement capacity, or they may anticipate that sell offers will be capped and therefore, may have an incentive to submit buy bids consistent with the anticipated range of price-capped sell offers. These anticipated price-capped sell offers will be far below the Daily Deficiency Rate sellers will incur if they become unable to deliver previously committed capacity after the Third Incremental Auction. PJM notes that the Third Incremental Auction will not change prices to load, and only involves a small amount of capacity. 24. PJM clarifies that the mere presence of an incremental auction clearing price lower than the BRA clearing price is not indicative of a market flaw. Rather, it is the possibility that such an outcome could result due to the combination of the must-offer requirement, cost-based mitigation, and buyer knowledge of offer cap levels. PJM states that Mirant's proposed solution properly preserves both the must-offer rule and price caps, but seeks to include within those caps an added component to reflect the seller's lost opportunity to use its available capacity to avoid or mitigate capacity deficiencies it may experience. 25. PJM suggests that it may not be possible to determine the precise appropriate price cap for sell offers, and that the Commission could consider setting the price cap somewhere between the BRA clearing price and the maximum deficiency charge that a seller might risk paying (the relief requested by Mirant). PJM asks the Commission to address this problem before PJM conducts the Third Incremental Auction on January 7, 2008. 26. EME Companies *et al.* supported Mirant's complaint, stating that the proposed solution appears to be reasonable, as the modification to the Opportunity Cost definition would permit capacity market sellers with additional capacity deemed available in the Third Incremental Auction to submit sell offers that better reflect the actual opportunity cost of selling into that auction and becoming subject to PJM penalties that are tied to the Daily Deficiency Rate. Tenaska Power also supported Mirant's complaint, explaining that, absent the change sought by Mirant, sellers will be required to sell supply capacity at rates well below their actual opportunity costs, which raises the possibility of confiscatory ratemaking. 27. Other parties oppose Mirant's complaint. Allegheny points out that if the Commission now changes the rules regarding mitigation, those changes should apply to all auctions rather than just the Third Incremental Auction, and should not be applied now, in the middle of an auction cycle, for which parties made commitments and chose to participate based on their understanding of the rules currently in place. Allegheny argues that Mirant is asking the Commission to make a finding that the existing market mitigation rules for the Third Incremental Auction, which it found to be just and reasonable by approving the Settlement Agreement 16 are all of a sudden unjust and unreasonable, before being put into effect. 16 *PJM Interconnection, L.L.C.* , 117 FERC ¶ 61,331 (2006), *order on reh'g* , 119 FERC ¶ 61,318 (2007). 28. PPL states that Mirant has not demonstrated that it will be injured, arguing that Mirant could hedge its own exposure by buying capacity (presumably through bilateral agreements). PPL states that the proposed remedy benefits sellers with excess capacity and burdens buyers and could also encourage gaming in RPM as capacity providers might try to sell as little capacity as possible in the BRA and hold capacity back to sell in the Third Incremental Auction. PPL argues that under Mirant's proposed remedy, if buyers expect they will be subject to the Deficiency Rate (either by buying replacement capacity, or as a result of being deficient), they may be discouraged from making an advance purchase in the Third Incremental Auction, which could have potential reliability consequences. PPL points out that another flaw in Mirant's proposal is that if prices are expected to be higher in the Third Incremental Auction, sellers will have an incentive to maintain as much capacity as possible to sell in the Third Incremental Auction, thereby discouraging the forward commitment aspect of RPM. ODEC/PJMICC similarly argue that Mirant's complaint is premature, and that its predicted outcome of the Third Incremental Auction is not a certainty. ODEC/PJMICC also point out that Mirant was a party to the RPM Settlement and that Mirant agreed to very clear provisions, including mitigation and the must offer requirement. 29. PEPCO states that Mirant understood the risk it now seeks to remedy, at least as of August 14, 2007. PEPCO points out that capacity market sellers may elect to sell its available capacity bilaterally and avoid the Third Incremental Auction altogether. PEPCO further protests Mirant's proposed remedy because, it states, capacity sellers in the BRA have the same Opportunity Cost and exposure to Daily Deficiency Rates as those in the Third Incremental Auction, yet the remedy only addressed the Third Incremental Auction. 30. The Borough of Chambersburg protests Mirant's proposal on the basis that it has the potential to incent capacity sellers to engage in economic and physical withholding. It further argues that the fundamental basis of the Mirant complaint, that the ACR will distort competitive rates that would prevail in the absence of mitigation, misses the point that because of pervasive market power, offers must be mitigated in order to prevent anti-competitive prices. 31. Several parties suggest that this problem should be resolved through a PJM stakeholder process rather than a complaint proceeding. II. Discussion A. Procedural Matters 32. Pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.214 (2007), the timely, unopposed motions to intervene of the entities that filed them make them parties in this proceeding. Under Rule 214(d) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.214(d) (2007), the Commission may grant late-filed motions to intervene, and it does so here. 33. Rule 213(a)(2) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.213(a)(2) (2003), prohibits an answer to an answer or protest unless otherwise ordered by the decisional authority. We will accept the answers filed by Indicated Buyers and Mirant because they have provided information that assisted us in our decision-making process. B. Analysis 34. Based on the information provided, the Commission finds that the existing tariff may result in prices that are unjust and unreasonable, and establishes hearing and settlement judge procedures to resolve this matter. 35. The Market Seller Offer Cap set at the level of ACR may not appropriately reflect the selling generators' risks in the Third Incremental Auction. This auction, which takes place four months before the Delivery Year begins, is the last market opportunity for generators to sell or procure capacity for that year. 17 Under the RPM rules, generators are not able to withhold any of their capacity for their own use, but must offer that capacity into the market. Since the Third Incremental Auction is the final opportunity to procure replacement capacity by auction, a generator that is forced to sell all of its capacity in that auction and which subsequently becomes unable to deliver that capacity, has no opportunity to purchase replacement capacity in a subsequent incremental auction. Thus, if the generator cannot arrange a private purchase of capacity, it will be required to pay the deficiency charge. The possibility of being assessed the deficiency charge is a risk that generators face when bidding into the RPM Auctions, but the cost associated with that risk is not reflected in the ACR. Thus, under the current rules, generators are required to offer capacity into the Third Incremental Auction at prices that may not compensate them for their full potential risk. 18 17 After the Third Incremental Auction, generators may still sell or procure capacity through bilateral contracts, assuming that they can find a counterparty that close to the time of delivery. 18 This situation is most likely to be critical in the Third Incremental Auction. A generator that discovers prior to the Third Incremental Auction that it is unable to deliver may avoid the deficiency charge by acquiring replacement capacity in one of the incremental auctions and paying the market clearing price in that auction. Thus, the same argument for revising the ACR mitigation rate as the mitigated bid price does not apply to the earlier auctions. 36. We do not, however, agree with Mirant that the solution to this problem is to modify the definition of Opportunity Cost to include the deficiency charge. To do so would, in essence, immediately raise the floor for all mitigated prices up to the level of the deficiency charge, the highest price that could result from the auction. Setting the Market Seller Offer Cap at the deficiency charge appears to establish too high a mitigated offer cap because the risk of each generator being unable to meet its capacity obligation clearly is less than 100 percent. Setting a Market Seller Offer Cap at the deficiency charge, therefore, might permit the exercise of market power by generators. 19 No party has presented evidence in this proceeding to document the risk that a generator committed to provide capacity will be unable to meet its capacity obligation. The PJM Market Monitor also has recognized that the existing Market Seller Offer Cap may be too low and has proposed that, if the Commission determines that the offer cap should be modified for this Third Incremental Auction pending a stakeholder process, the clearing price from the BRA could be used as the price of capacity transactions in this auction, although only in the event that the price would otherwise be low or zero. 20 19 For instance, if there were a complete monopoly in a local delivery area (with only one generator participating in the auction) and that generator had excess capacity, allowing the generator to bid the deficiency charge would set the price at the deficiency charge even though the generator did not face a reasonable risk of being unable to deliver. 20 PJM MMU Response to Mirant Complaint re RPM auction, attachment to Indicated Buyers answer, at 9. 37. Because there is reason to believe that the existing rate is not just and reasonable and because we have no evidence to establish a just and reasonable replacement rate, we will set this matter for settlement judge and trial-type hearing. At hearing, we will direct the parties to examine the likelihood that resources (or particular classes of resources) will be unable to provide their committed capacity when demanded, and thus, the likelihood that the owner of that resource will be required to pay a deficiency charge. The parties may also consider alternative mechanisms that would mitigate the potential risks suppliers face in the Third Incremental Auction without modifying the offer cap, including but not limited to examining other possible hedging mechanisms. 38. We will dismiss the complaint with respect to the auction to be conducted on January 7, 2008. Given the timing of this filing, the issues raised, and Mirant's own recognition that its initially proposed replacement rate may not be just and reasonable, we cannot resolve this proceeding prior to January 7, 2008. Moreover, because this is a market-determined result, refunds based on a subsequently determined Market Seller Offer Cap could not be accurately calculated. 21 However, we instruct the Administrative Law Judge
(ALJ)and the parties to set a hearing schedule that will leave sufficient time for an initial decision and Commission review prior to the next Third Incremental Auction. 21 Moreover, both equity and the desire to protect market certainty counsel against applying the result in this case to the January 7 auction, since, as several protesters pointed out, all parties entered this first cycle of RPM auctions with the expectation that the market rules agreed to in the RPM settlement would remain in place. 39. PJM has already been pursuing settlement of its issue through its RPM Working Group. 22 To aid the parties in their settlement efforts, we will hold the hearing in abeyance and direct that a settlement judge be appointed, pursuant to Rule 603 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. 23 If the parties desire, they may, by mutual agreement, request a specific judge as the settlement judge in the proceeding; otherwise, the Chief Judge will select a judge for this purpose. 24 The settlement judge shall report to the Chief Judge and the Commission within 30 days of the date of the appointment of the settlement judge, concerning the status of settlement discussions. Based on this report, the Chief Judge shall provide the parties with additional time to continue their settlement discussions or provide for commencement of a hearing by assigning the case to a presiding judge. 22 PJM notes that it has discussed this matter at the RPM Working Group on August 14, 2007, October 10, 2007, and October 25, 2007, and that “[c]onsideration of possible changes to the offer caps in the incremental auctions * * * has been assigned a `high' priority by the working group.” PJM answer at 6-7. 23 18 CFR 385.603 (2007). 24 If the parties decide to request a specific judge, they must make their joint request to the Chief Judge by telephone at 202-502-8500 within five days of this order. The Commission's Web site contains a list of Commission judges and a summary of their background and experience ( *http://www.ferc.gov* —click on Office of Administrative Law Judges). 40. Pursuant to section 206(b) of the FPA, the Commission must establish a refund effective date that is no earlier than the date of the filing of such complaint nor later than 5 months after the filing of such complaint. Because, as discussed above, the results of the hearing cannot be applied to the January 7, 2008 auction, the Commission will establish a refund effective date of 5 months from the date of the complaint. The Commission is also required by section 206 to indicate when it expects to issue a final order. The Commission expects to issue a final order in this section 206 investigation within 180 days of the date this order issues. *The Commission orders:*

E8-301 Filed 1-10-08; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY National Nuclear Security Administration Draft Complex Transformation Supplemental Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement AGENCY: National Nuclear Security Administration, U.S. Department of Energy. ACTION: Notice of Availability and Public Hearings. SUMMARY: The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a semi-autonomous agency within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), announces the availability of the Draft Complex Transformation Supplemental Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (Draft Complex Transformation SPEIS, DOE/EIS-0236-S4). The Draft Complex Transformation SPEIS analyzes the potential environmental impacts of reasonable alternatives to continue the transformation of the U.S. nuclear weapons complex to one that is smaller, more efficient, more secure, and better able to respond to changes in national security requirements. While NNSA has revised the document title from that indicated in the Notice of Intent, it remains a supplement to the Stockpile Stewardship and Management Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. NNSA has prepared this document in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality
(CEQ)regulations that implement the procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR Parts 1500-1508), and DOE procedures implementing NEPA (10 CFR Part 1021). DATES: NNSA invites comments on the Draft Complex Transformation SPEIS during the 90-day public comment period, which ends on April 10, 2008. NNSA will consider comments received after this date to the extent practicable as it prepares the Final Complex Transformation SPEIS. NNSA will hold 19 public hearings on the Draft Complex Transformation SPEIS. The locations, dates, and times are listed in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section. ADDRESSES: Requests for additional information on the Draft Complex Transformation SPEIS, including requests for copies of the document, should be directed to: Mr. Theodore A.

(202)586-3142. *Background* . The national security of the United States requires NNSA to maintain a safe, secure, and reliable nuclear weapons stockpile and core competencies in nuclear weapons. The Nation's national security requirements are established by the President and funded by the Congress, which have assigned to NNSA the responsibility of maintaining a nuclear arsenal and a complex of nuclear facilities capable of supporting this highly technical mission. The Draft Complex Transformation SPEIS is a Supplement to the 1996 Stockpile Stewardship and Management Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement, which analyzed programmatic alternatives for the weapons complex in the absence of nuclear testing. NNSA maintains the safety, security, and reliability of nuclear weapons through the Stockpile Stewardship Program. This program currently involves integrated activities at three NNSA national laboratories, four industrial plants, and a nuclear weapons test site. The effects of old facilities, aging weapons, and evolving national security requirements have led NNSA to propose further changes to the Complex in order to create a smaller and more responsive, efficient, and secure infrastructure, especially with regards to special nuclear materials (SNM). 1 1 As defined in Section 11 of the *Atomic Energy Act* of 1954, SNM is:
(1)Plutonium, uranium enriched in the isotope 233 or in the isotope 235; or
(2)any material artificially enriched by any of the foregoing and any other material which the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission determines to be special nuclear material. Today's Complex consists of eight major sites located in seven states, and the Tonopah Test Range (TTR). It enables NNSA to design, develop, manufacture, and maintain nuclear weapons; certify their safety, security, and reliability; conduct surveillance on them; store Category I/II 2 quantities of SNM; and dismantle and disposition retired weapons. The major sites within the Complex are the Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12), Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken, South Carolina; Pantex Plant (Pantex), Amarillo, Texas; Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico; Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Livermore, California; Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), Albuquerque, New Mexico, and other locations; Nevada Test Site (NTS), 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada; and the Kansas City Plant (KCP), Kansas City, Missouri. 2 Special nuclear materials are grouped into Security Categories I, II, III, and IV based on the type, attractiveness level, and quantity of the materials. Categories I and II require the highest level of security. NNSA conducted a public scoping process that began with the publication of a Notice of Intent
(NOI)in the **Federal Register** on October 19, 2006 (71 FR 61731), in which NNSA announced it intended to prepare a SPEIS and invited public comment on the scope of the environmental review. In the NOI, NNSA's proposed action was referred to as Complex 2030. NNSA now believes that the term Complex Transformation better reflects the proposed action and alternatives evaluated because NNSA anticipates that it would be able to accomplish much of the proposed transformation in the next decade (i.e., well before 2030). The NOI also announced the schedule for public scoping meetings that were held in November and December 2006, near sites that might be affected by continued transformation of the Complex and in Washington, DC. In addition to the meetings, the public was encouraged to provide comments via mail, e-mail, and fax. More than 33,000 comment documents were received from individuals, interested groups, Federal, state, and local officials, and Tribes during the scoping period. All comments received during the 90-day public scoping period were considered by NNSA in preparing the Draft Complex Transformation SPEIS. All late comments received were also reviewed and, in general, determined to be similar to comments submitted within the 90-day period. NNSA's development and analysis of alternatives for the SPEIS reflect consideration of these comments. The Draft Complex Transformation SPEIS analyzes two proposed actions. The first proposed action would restructure SNM facilities (facilities that use plutonium and highly enriched uranium to produce components for the nuclear weapons stockpile). The second proposed action would restructure research and development (R&D) and testing facilities. These two proposed actions differ in their magnitude and timing. The alternatives for restructuring SNM facilities, which would take 10 years or more, are necessarily broad and address issues such as where to locate these facilities and whether to construct new facilities or renovate existing ones for these functions. As such, the Draft Complex Transformation SPEIS analysis is “programmatic” for the proposed action of restructuring SNM facilities. Tiered, project-specific NEPA documents would likely be needed to inform decisions unless existing site-wide EIS's or other NEPA documents were sufficient. In comparison, NNSA proposes to pursue restructuring of R&D and testing facilities in the near-term, independent of decisions it may make as to restructuring of SNM facilities. The proposed action to restructure R&D and testing facilities would likely not require further NEPA documentation to implement decisions after NNSA issues the Final Complex Transformation SPEIS and Record of Decision. The alternatives for restructuring SNM facilities are:
(1)No Action;
(2)Distributed Centers of Excellence;
(3)Consolidated Centers of Excellence; and
(4)Capability-Based. Common to each of these are alternatives to consolidate storage of certain SNM. The No Action Alternative represents continuation of the status quo including implementation of decisions already made on the basis of prior NEPA analyses. Under the No Action Alternative, NNSA would not make major changes to the missions assigned to NNSA sites. The Distributed Centers of Excellence Alternative retains the three major SNM functions (plutonium, uranium, and weapon assembly/disassembly) involving Category I/II quantities of SNM at up to three sites. This alternative would create a consolidated plutonium center for R&D, storage, processing, and manufacture of plutonium parts for nuclear weapons. The following sites are evaluated for the consolidated plutonium center: Los Alamos, NTS, Pantex, SRS, and Y-12. Uranium storage and operations (including the storage and use of highly enriched uranium) would remain at Y-12. Weapons assembly, disassembly, and high explosive fabrication would remain at Pantex. The Consolidated Centers of Excellence Alternative consolidates the three major SNM functions (plutonium, uranium, and weapon assembly/disassembly) involving Category I/II quantities of SNM at one or two sites. The single site option is referred to as the Consolidated Nuclear Production Center option and the two site option is referred to as the Consolidated Nuclear Center option. Three major facilities are involved in this alternative: a Consolidated Plutonium Center, a Consolidated Uranium Center, and an assembly/disassembly/high explosives facility, which would assemble and disassemble nuclear weapons, and fabricate high explosives. The following sites are evaluated for these facilities: Los Alamos, NTS, Pantex, SRS, and Y-12. Under the Capability-Based Alternative, NNSA would maintain basic capabilities for manufacturing components for all stockpile weapons, as well as laboratory and experimental capabilities to support stockpile decisions, but would reduce production capabilities at existing or planned facilities. Under this alternative, pit production at LANL would not be expanded beyond a capability to provide 50 pits 3 per year. Production capacities at Pantex, Y-12, and SRS (tritium production) would be reduced to capability-based levels. 3 A pit is the central core of a nuclear weapon, typically containing plutonium-239, that undergoes fission when compressed by high explosives. To consolidate Category I/II quantities of SNM, NNSA proposes to remove Category I/II SNM from LLNL by approximately 2012, and phase-out operations at LLNL involving Category I/II quantities of SNM. 4 NNSA is also proposing to transfer more than 10,000 pits currently stored at Pantex in Zone 4 to Zone 12, enabling all Category I/II quantities of SNM at Pantex to be consolidated into a central location, close to assembly, modification, and disassembly operations. 4 The LLNL Site-wide EIS (DOE/EIS-0348 and DOE/EIS-0236-S3, March 2005) assesses the environmental impacts of transporting SNM to and from LLNL and other sites as part of the proposed action, which NNSA decided to implement (70 FR 71491, November 29, 2005). That analysis includes consideration of transportation actions involving greater quantities of SNM and more shipments than are identified in this draft SPEIS. For the proposed action to restructure R&D and testing facilities, the alternatives focus on immediate options to consolidate, relocate, or eliminate duplicative facilities and programs and to improve operating efficiencies. The following five functional capabilities are evaluated for this proposed action: tritium R&D; high explosives R&D; hydrodynamic testing; major environmental testing; and flight test operations. The sites potentially affected by decisions regarding these alternatives are: LANL, LLNL, SNL, NTS, Pantex, TTR, SRS, Y-12, and the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR). The WSMR, located in south-central New Mexico, is the largest installation in the Department of Defense. WSMR is being considered as a location for NNSA's flight test operations that are now conducted at TTR. Alternatives to relocate the current non-nuclear component design and engineering work at SNL/California also are being evaluated in this proposed action. While NNSA has proposed to modernize its facilities that produce non-nuclear components in Kansas City, Missouri, this proposal is evaluated in a separate NEPA analysis. The General Services Administration (GSA), as the lead agency, and NNSA, as a cooperating agency, announced the availability of a draft Environmental Assessment on December 10, 2007 (72 FR 69690) that evaluates the potential environmental impacts of a proposal for GSA to procure the construction of a new facility to house NNSA's procurement and manufacturing operations for non-nuclear components. A recent analysis demonstrates that transferring non-nuclear operations outside of the Kansas City area is not cost effective. Whether non-nuclear operations remain at the current Kansas City Plant or move to a new facility in the vicinity of Kansas City would not affect nor be affected by decisions NNSA makes regarding alternatives evaluated in the Draft Complex Transformation SPEIS. *Other Federal Agency Involvement* . The Department of the Air Force and U.S. Army Garrison White Sands are cooperating agencies in the preparation of the Draft Complex Transformation SPEIS. Issued in Washington, DC, on January 7, 2008.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) is announcing the Federal Home Loan Bank
(Bank)members it has selected for the 2006-07 eighth quarter review cycle under the Finance Board's community support requirements regulation. This notice also prescribes the deadline by which Bank members selected for review must submit Community Support Statements to the Finance Board. DATES: Bank members selected for the review cycle under the Finance Board's community support requirements regulation must submit completed Community Support Statements to the Finance Board on or before February 29, 2008. ADDRESSES: Bank members selected for the 2006-07 eighth quarter review cycle under the Finance Board's community support requirements regulation must submit completed Community Support Statements to the Finance Board either by regular mail at the Federal Housing Finance Board, Office of Supervision, Community Investment and Affordable Housing, 1625 Eye Street, NW., Washington, DC 20006, or by electronic mail at *FITZGERALDE@FHFB.GOV* . FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Emma J. Fitzgerald, Program Analyst, Office of Supervision, Community Investment and Affordable Housing, by telephone at 202/408-2874, by electronic mail at *FITZGERALDE@FHFB.GOV* , or by regular mail at the Federal Housing Finance Board, 1625 Eye Street, NW., Washington, DC 20006. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Selection for Community Support Review Section 10(g)(1) of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act (Bank Act) requires the Finance Board to promulgate regulations establishing standards of community investment or service Bank members must meet in order to maintain access to long-term advances. *See* 12 U.S.C. 1430(g)(1). The regulations promulgated by the Finance Board must take into account factors such as the Bank member's performance under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA), 12 U.S.C. 2901 *et seq.* , and record of lending to first-time homebuyers. *See* 12 U.S.C. 1430(g)(2). Pursuant to section 10(g) of the Bank Act, the Finance Board has promulgated a community support requirements regulation that establishes standards a Bank member must meet in order to maintain access to long-term advances, and review criteria the Finance Board must apply in evaluating a member's community support performance. *See* 12 CFR part 944. The regulation includes standards and criteria for the two statutory factors—CRA performance and record of lending to first-time homebuyers. 12 CFR 944.3. Only members subject to the CRA must meet the CRA standard. 12 CFR 944.3(b). All members, including those not subject to CRA, must meet the first-time homebuyer standard. 12 CFR 944.3(c). Under the rule, the Finance Board selects approximately one-eighth of the members in each Bank district for community support review each calendar quarter. 12 CFR 944.2(a). The Finance Board will not review an institution's community support performance until it has been a Bank member for at least one year. Selection for review is not, nor should it be construed as, any indication of either the financial condition or the community support performance of the member. Each Bank member selected for review must complete a Community Support Statement and submit it to the Finance Board by the February 29, 2008 deadline prescribed in this notice. 12 CFR 944.2(b)(1)(ii) and (c). On or before January 25, 2008, each Bank will notify the members in its district that have been selected for the 2006-07 eighth quarter community support review cycle that they must complete and submit to the Finance Board by the deadline a Community Support Statement. 12 CFR 944.2(b)(2)(i). The member's Bank will provide a blank Community Support Statement Form, which also is available on the Finance Board's Web site: *WWW.FHFB.GOV* . Upon request, the member's Bank also will provide assistance in completing the Community Support Statement. The Finance Board has selected the following members for the 2006-07 eighth quarter community support review cycle: Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston—District 1 Savings Bank of Danbury Danbury Connecticut.
