SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background of Existing Rates: The existing schedules of rates and charges applicable to the sale of power from the Jim Woodruff Project are effective through September 30, 2021. On October 20, 2016, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission FERC
confirmed and approved, on a final basis, Rate Schedules JW1K, and JW
2F applicable to the Jim Woodruff System for a period ending September 30, 2021 157 FERC 62,043.
Repayment Study: Existing rate schedules are based upon a March 2016
repayment study and other supporting data contained in FERC Docket No.
EF167000. A repayment study prepared in February 2021 showed that the existing rates are not adequate to meet repayment criteria. Southeastern is therefore proposing a rate increase. A
revised study shows that a revenue increase of $684,000 per year from preference customers would make the rates adequate to meet repayment criteria. The rate adjustment would represent an increase of about 9.2
percent.
The additional costs are due to U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers Operation &
Maintenance expense increases and Southeastern marketing expense increases.
Proposed Rates: In the proposed rate schedule JW1L, which is available to preference customers, the capacity charge would be increased from $7.74
per kilowatt per month to $8.46 per kilowatt per month. The energy charge would be increased from 20.44 mills per kilowatt-hour to 22.32 mills per kilowatt-hour. In addition to the

capacity and energy charges, each preference customer would continue to be charged for power purchased by Southeastern on behalf of the preference customer. This pass-through would continue to be computed as described in the current rate schedules.
Rate schedule JW2F, available to Duke Energy Florida DEF, would continue the current rate of 100 percent of DEFs fuel cost.
Legal Authority: By Delegation Order No. 00037.00B, effective November 19, 2016, the Secretary of Energy delegated to Southeasterns Administrator the authority to develop power and transmission rates, to the Deputy Secretary of Energy the authority to confirm, approve, and place such rates into effect on an 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. By Delegation Order No.
S1DELS42021, effective February 25, 2021, the Acting Secretary of Energy also delegated the authority to confirm, approve, and place such rates into effect on an interim basis to the Under Secretary for Science and Energy. By Redelegation Order No. 00002.10E, effective February 14, 2020, the Under Secretary of Energy to whom such authority was delegated by the Secretary of Energy in Delegation Order No. 00
002.00S from January 15, 2020 until that delegation was rescinded on February 25, 2021 redelegated the authority to confirm, approve, and place such rates into effect on an interim basis to the Assistant Secretary for Electricity. By Redelegation Order No. 00002.1003, effective July 8, 2020, the Assistant Secretary for Electricity further redelegated the authority to confirm, approve, and place such rates into effect on an interim basis to the Administrator, Southeastern Power Administration. The delegations and redelegations not affirmatively rescinded remain valid. This rate is proposed by the Administrator, Southeastern Power Administration, pursuant to the authority delegated in Delegation Order No. 00037.00B.
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, as amended, the proposed action is not a major Federal action for which

preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement is required.
Determination Under Executive Order 12866: Southeastern has an exemption from centralized regulatory review under Executive Order 12866;
accordingly, no clearance of this notice by the Office of Management and Budget is required.
