Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 172 / Thursday, September 9, 2021 / Notices
Rayburn Dam, fit within the class of categorically excluded actions as listed in Appendix B to Subpart D of 10 CFR
part 1021, the Implementing Procedures and Guidelines of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended 42 U.S.C. 43214347:
Categorical exclusions applicable to B4.3: Electric power marketing rate changes, which does not require preparation of either an environmental impact statement EIS or an environmental assessment EA. On May 27, 2021, Southwestern determined that categorical exclusion B4.3 applies to the current action.
Administrative Procedures Under the Administrative Procedure Act 5 U.S.C. 553d, publication or service of a substantive rule must be made not less than 30 days before its effective date, except 1 a substantive rule that grants or recognizes an exemption or relieves a restriction; 2
interpretative rules and statements of policy; or 3 as otherwise provided by the agency for good cause found and published with the rule. The Administrator finds good cause to waive the 30-day delay in the effective date of this action as unnecessary for the following reasons: 1 This is an extension of rates previously approved by FERC, pursuant to 10 CFR 903.23a;
2 there are no substantive changes, as the existing rate schedules and anticipated revenues remain the same;
and 3 the Administrator provided notice and opportunity for public comment more than 30 days prior to the effective date of the rate extension and received no comments.
Order In view of the foregoing, and pursuant to delegated authority from the Secretary of Energy, I hereby extend on an interim basis, for the period of two years, effective October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2023, the current Sam Rayburn Dam rate schedule:
