PUBLIC NOTICE

Pursuant to the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act and the Wyoming Public Service Commission’s (Commission) Rules and Regulations, notice is hereby given of the Application of Rocky Mountain Power (RMP or the Company) for authority to reduce the Carbon Capture Compliance Charge (Schedule 198) from 0.30% to 0.12% per month, and find that the costs incurred from 2022 through August 2024, pursuant to Wyoming Statutes §§ 37-18-101 and 37-18-102, and the Commission’s rules regarding low-carbon portfolio standards (collectively, HB 200 requirements) were prudently incurred.

  1. RMP is a division of PacifiCorp, an Oregon Corporation, engaged in the business of supplying electric utility service to customers throughout its six-state service territory, including Wyoming. RMP is a public utility subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction. Wyo. Stat. §§37-1-101(a)(vi)(C) and 37-2-112.
  2. On October 1, 2024, RMP filed an Application to reduce the Schedule 198 rate from 0.30% to 0.12% per month on an interim basis, beginning January 1, 2025. Schedule 198 is a balancing account mechanism that tracks incremental costs to comply with HB 200 requirements, and revenues collected through a monthly carbon capture compliance surcharge that is based on forecasted costs. RMP requests the decrease as the projected approximate $1.0 million in annual revenue, in addition to the proposed Schedule 198 ending balance, would provide adequate revenue for future investigations into the economic and technical feasibility of carbon capture at Jim Bridger Units 3 and 4.
  3. RMP states in its Application that Schedule 198 has collected $3.139 million in revenue and $556,103.33 in deferred costs, an over collection of $2.68 million. RMP requests that costs incurred from January 2022 through August 2024 to comply with the HB 200 requirements, totaling approximately $556,103.33, be found to be prudently incurred. These costs include consultant fees and internal travel expenses for developing and submitting the initial plan, the first update to the initial plan, and the final plan; conducting the Request for Proposals (RFP), and Request for Information (RFI) processes, review of the RFP results; and developing the Jim Bridger FEED study scope of work.
  4. This is not a complete description of the Application. Interested persons may inspect it at the Commission’s office or online at: https://dms.wyo.gov/external/publicusers.aspx (Enter Record No. 17694).
  5. Anyone wishing to file a statement, intervention petition, protest or request for a public hearing in this matter must do so in writing filed with the Commission on or before November 8, 2024. Any intervention request filed with the Commission shall set forth the grounds of the proposed intervention or request for hearing as well as the position and the interest of the petitioner in this proceeding. Please be sure to mention Docket No. 20000-672-ET-24 in all correspondence with the Commission.
  6. If you wish to intervene in this matter or request a public hearing which you will attend and you require reasonable accommodation for a disability, call the Commission at (307) 777-7427 or write to the Commission, 2515 Warren Avenue, Suite 300, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002.

WHEREAS, on January 25, 2013, a certain Mortgage was executed by Roger N. Urness and Mabel O. Urness, Husband and Wife As Joint Tenants and Not As Tenants in Common With Full Rights of Survivorship as mortgagor(s) in favor of Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., as beneficiary, as nominee for American Advisors Group., its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and was recorded on February 4, 2013, in Book 991, Page 991 As Reception Number R162041 in the Office of the Clerk and Recorder, Uinta County, Wyoming; and

WHEREAS, the Mortgage was insured by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (the Secretary) pursuant to the National Housing Act for the purpose of providing single family housing; and

WHEREAS, the Mortgage is now owned by the Secretary, pursuant to an assignment dated September 30, 2019, and recorded on February 3, 2020, in Book 1090 at Page 539,as reception number 1081442 in the office of the Clerk and Recorder, Uinta County, Wyoming; and

WHEREAS, a default has been made in the covenants and conditions of the Mortgage in that the payment due on July 31, 2024, was not made and remains wholly unpaid as of the date of this notice, and no payment has been made sufficient to restore the loan to currency; and

WHEREAS, the entire amount delinquent as of the October 23, 2024 is $155,307.29; and WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the

indebtedness secured by the Mortgage to be immediately due and payable;

NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B, and by the Secretary’s designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, recorded on September 24, 2024 as Reception Number 116256, notice i s hereby given that on October 23, 2024 at 10:00

a.m. local time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described premises (“Property”) will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder:

A TRACT OF LAND LOCATED IN PART OF LOT 7 OF BLOCK I OF THE RED MOUNTAIN MESA II SUBDIVISION TO THE CITY OF EVANSTON, UINTA COUNTY, WYOMING, FILED JULY 21, 1980 AS INSTRUMENT #R349142, IN THE OFFICE OF THE UINTA COUNTY CLERK, BEING MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWS: BEGINNING AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF SAID LOT 7 AND RUNNING THENCE N 83°45'20'' E, ALONG THE NORTH BOUNDARY OF SAID LOT, 37.66 FEET; THENCE S 6°38'27'' E, THROUGH AND ALONG THE CENTERLINE OF A STRUCTURE COMMON WALL, 110.00 FEET TO THE SOUTH BOUNDARY OF SAID LOT; THENCE S 83°45'20'' W, ALONG THE SOUTH BOUNDARY OF SAID LOT, 38.33 FEET TO THE WEST BOUNDARY OF SAID LOT; THENCE N 6° 14'40'' W, ALONG SAID WEST BOUNDARY OF SAID LOT, 110.00 FEET TO THE POINT OF BEGINNING.

Commonly known as: 124 Sandstone Dr., Evanston, WY 82930.

The sale will be held at the Unita County Court house, 225 9th St., Evanston, WY 82930. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid $155,307.29.

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling

$15,530.73 in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $15,530.73 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them.

The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due.

If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.

There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant.

The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed.

The amount that must be paid if the mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $155,307.29 as of October 22, 2024, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.

Tender of payment by certified or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.
