This compliance filing ( Filing Letter for revised OATT (March 2, 2011) ) revises the new baseline eTariff, which is substantially the same tariff originally submitted in Docket No. NJ10-1-000. Western requested the Commission deem the revisions to its OATT proposed in the compliance filing become effective April 3, 2011, with the exception of the revisions to Section 2.2, which Western requested become effective on March 2, 2011. The revised OATT is available under the "Tariff" Documents Folder on the WAPA OASIS and at the following: WAPA-Tariff-Docs If you have any questions, please contact David Johnston at (970) 461-7368, or by email at djohnston@wapa.gov

Date of December 1, 2009:
Western Area Power
Administration submitted its revised Open Access Transmission Service
Tariff with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on September 30,

consistent with Western’s statutory and regulatory requirements. It
addresses changes in transmission services and planning.The updated OATT (both
clean and redline versions) and FERC generated PDF documents for these filings
are included in the "Tariff" folder.For the list of documents due to this change, please see the documents
under the listed folders:FERC Order
890, Network Customers, Transmission Planning Process, and Business
Practices.
If you have any
questions, please contact David Johnston at 970-461-7368.
Due to the substantial changes to
the Pro-Forma OATT made by Order 890, Western Area Power Administration will
need to engage in a public process with its customers and the general public
prior to making an Order 890 filing.Western will make a future filing to address the changes necessary as a
result of Order 890.However, in the
interim Western will continue to work with the industry and complying with the
spirit and intent of Order 890 when feasible.
