In compliance with Commission Bylaws and Rules, a meeting
notice announcing the date, time, location and agenda availability was mailed
to the interested parties June 23, 2004.
A Special Telephone Meeting of the Central Interstate LLRW
Commission was held Wednesday, July 7, 2004 for the purpose of taking action on
export applications and assessments of Nebraska major generators.
Participating in the meeting via telephone were: Bernie
Bevill, Arkansas Commissioner and acting Chairperson; Jim O’Connell,
Kansas Commissioner; Greg Hayden, Nebraska Commissioner; Michael Henry, Louisiana
Commissioner; Catherine Sharp, Oklahoma Commissioner; Ron Hammerschmidt, Kansas
Alternate Commissioner; and Alan Peterson, Commission’s Legal Counsel.
Present in the Commission office, 1033 ‘O’ Street, Suite
530, Lincoln, Nebraska, was Rita Houskie, Commission Administrator; and members
of the public, John DeOld and Fred Knapp.
The meeting was called to order at approximately 7:15 A.M.
and all Commissioners responded to the roll call. No requests by members of the public were made to speak during
the general public comment period.
The Chair requested a motion to
accept the following resolution on the Assessments of Nebraska Generators:
It is
hereby resolved that Nebraska major generators Omaha Public Power District and
Nebraska Public Power District, even though their state will not necessarily be
in this Compact for the entirety of the fiscal year 2004-2005, nevertheless are
assessed an administrative support fee in the amount of 25% of the amount
charged other major generators for export permit fees, to be invoiced to each
of them at the beginning of each quarter of the fiscal year, so long as the
Commission is involved with Nebraska in the efforts to resolve litigation over
the license denial, for the reason that those two generators still retain or
claim a potential financial and waste disposal interest in the issues being
litigated or negotiated in regard to that litigation. For the period of July 1, 2004, through July 17, 2004, OPPD and
NPPD will be deemed to have the right also to apply for an export permit
covering that period if they so choose, using the standard application forms
and, if granted, the above-mentioned first quarterly fee will be deemed to
cover that period of export authorization.
The letters agreeing to these quarterly arrangements are attached and
the terms therein are hereby approved.
Motion by Kansas, second by Louisiana, to approve the Resolution of the
Assessments of Nebraska Generators.
