An Environmental Assessment report indicates that the project, with environmental safeguards, would not significantly impact the environment. FERC invites the public to access and comment on the assessment through its website, with a comment period open for 45 days. Public participation is encouraged, and assistance is available from FERC's Office of Public Participation.

    The Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), part of the Department of Energy (DOE), is proposing new formula rates for the Loveland Area Projects and related services. These proposed rates are necessary for WAPA to potentially join the Southwest Power Pool, an organization that manages electricity transmission across several states. The rates will be influenced by projections of future costs and will need approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. If WAPA becomes a member, the new rates would take effect on either the membership date or April 1, 2026, and remain until March 31, 2031, unless changed.
