NOTICE OF PROPOSED REVISION TO POWER Mr. Carey Cossaboom, Project Manager COST EQUALIZATION BASE AMOUNT P.O. Box 6898 (CEPOA-PM-ESP-FUDS) Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson, Alaska 99506-0898 The REGULATORY COMMISSION OF ALASKA (Commission) gives notice that pursuant to AS 42.45.110(c)(2), it proposes to adjust the base (907) 753-2689 amount for Power Cost Equalization (PCE) calculations (Docket No. U-12- 073). AS 42.45.110(c)(2) provides in part:

“each year, the commission shall adjust the power costs for which power cost equalization may be paid to an electric utility based on the weighted average retail residential rate in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau…”

The current base amount is 13.42 cents per kilowatt-hour (¢/kWh). The Commission proposes to adjust the base amount to 14.30¢/kWh. The proposed 14.30¢/kWh base amount is a calculation of the weighted average cost of residential energy sales within Fairbanks, Anchorage and Juneau during calendar year 2011. The utilities providing service to these areas during 2012 were Chugach Electric Association, Inc. (Chugach); Matanuska Electric Association, Inc. (MEA); and the Municipality of Anchorage d/b/a Municipal Light and Power Department (ML&P) in Anchorage; Golden Valley Electric Association, Inc. (GVEA) in Fairbanks; and Alaska Electric Light and Power Company (AEL&P) in Juneau. The proposed 14.30¢/kWh base amount calculations are as follows:

Any interested person may present written statements or arguments relevant to the proposed action by writing to the Regulatory Commission of Alaska, 701 West Eighth Avenue, Suite 300, Anchorage, Alaska 99501, so that comments are received by June 21, 2012. Comments may also be filed electronically on the Commissionʼs website under the public notice section via our website at: https://rca.alaska.gov/RCAWeb/WhatsNew/PublicNoticesComments.aspx. Please reference Docket No. U-12-073 in the subject line of your comments. In addition, a public hearing will be held on June 25, 2012, in the Commissionʼs hearing room, 701 West Eighth Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska to consider comments on the proposed action. Individuals wishing to present oral comments at the public hearing are requested to notify the commission of that intent by June 21, 2012; however, such notification is not mandatory. Individuals or groups of people with disabilities, who require special accommodations, auxiliary aids or service, or alternative communication formats, please contact Joyce McGowan at 276-6222, toll-free at 1-800- 390-2782, or TTY (907) 276-4533 by June 15, 2012. Additional information about the calculation of the proposed base amount may be obtained from Tariff Section Staff at the Commissionʼs office at 701 West Eighth Avenue, Suite 300, Anchorage, Alaska 99501. The Commissionʼs telephone number is (907) 276-6222, email address is [email protected].

That is of course if weather conditions allow. So far, Little Diomede residents only have passenger service when the sea freezes and allows the con- struction of an ice runway for com- mercial bush planes to land and take off. For the rest of the year, the island is serviced by helicopter to bring in mail and other goods. On a space available basis Evergreen, the heli- copter company, takes passengers on board, but mail always has priority over passengers. This means that get- ting off the island is easier than get- ting back home as mail is taking up most of the space inside. Bill Mosley, spokesman for the federal Dept. of Transportation said that this is the first time the DOT and a state split the cost to subsidize pas- senger service under the Essential Air Service program, also known as EAS. The EAS originated in the late 1970s when airlines were deregu- lated and in order to assure that smaller communities still receive regular passenger service, the federal government subsidized the service with the EAS. However, Little Diomede never had regular passen- ger service and the EAS did not apply until a change was made in re- cent years. “This recent provision al- lowed that kind of state-federal match to a community that was not eligible under the regular EAS pro- gram,” Mosley said. The state budgeted the money under the Dept. of Community, Commerce and Economic Develop- ment’s division of community and regional affairs. DCRA director Scott Ruby said that the division now waits for Kawerak Inc. to determine how much they will deduct from the grant to cover administrative costs as Kawerak has been driving the effort to get regular air service established for Little Diomede. Senator Donnie Olson added the $200,000 to the state’s FY13 budget and the line item survived the Governor’s red pen. The federal EAS program will ad- minister the grant. Once Kawerak has determined its cut and sends a letter to the state, the state will pre- pare the paperwork to convey the money to the federal DOT EAS pro- gram after the beginning of the new fiscal year on July 1.
