Brian;

Thanks for the opportunity to provide these additional comments. My comments (below) relate to the WORKING DRAFT (July 28, 2010) of the Statement of Need and Fiscal and Economic Impact circulated to the Fiscal Advisory Committee.

 

· Page 6, second paragraph: remove …Pacific Resources Cooperative/PNGC Power… and replace with “…Power Resources Cooperative (PRC)…”

· Page 7, Table 4: regarding PLANT OWNER, add language or notation that indicates that the “15% ownership share” is really a lease arrangement & consequently financial responsibility could revert back to PGE when the current lease expires (NOTE: need more information from PGE)

· Page 6, Impacts to Small Businesses: Two members of PRC are Oregon small businesses: Blachly-Lane Electric Cooperative (Eugene) and Douglas Electric Cooperative (Roseburg). These cooperatives would be responsible for their respective shares of additional costs related to implementation of the BART measures.

 

Thanks and please contact me if you have any questions.

Kevin

Importance: High

Thanks again to all of the Fiscal Advisory Committee members for attending and participating in the discussion at today’s meeting. It was a productive meeting and gave us some important information and improvements to make to our fiscal evaluation. We greatly appreciate your assistance and welcome any further comments you may have.

Some of you indicated you would provide some specific comments. If possible, please try to send them to me by the end of this week.

Please let me know by this Friday if you have comments and would like more time to send them. As we mentioned, we can provide a week or so for additional comments, although next Wednesday, Aug 10th by Noon will need to be the deadline to submit them. I will be sending out a revised version of the Fiscal Impact Statement immediately after this date for the committees’ review

Please contact me if you have any further questions about the fiscal evaluation, providing comments, or any other part of this rulemaking process.

Thanks again for taking the time and effort to assist DEQ in this effort!
