The Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) Desert Southwest Region has identified the occasional need for revisions to Service Agreements for Network Integration Transmission Service (NITS Service Agreements). The proposed revisions to NITS Service Agreements require little or no environmental review or resource agency coordination. Revisions to NITS Service Agreements typically occur when the Transmission Customer requests an increase in network load from WAPA. There will be no new generation associated with the requested increase in network load and there will be no physical changes in the transmission system beyond the previously disturbed or developed facility areas.
