SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background: BPA is a federal power

marketing agency that markets power

from many of the federal dams in the

Columbia River Basin, and has a duty to

protect, mitigate, and enhance fish

affected by the construction and

operation of those dams. The Yakama

Nation, through the Northwest Power

Planning and Conservation Council, has

proposed that BPA fund the

reconstruction of the existing fish

passage facility as part of those

mitigation responsibilities. The

VerDate Aug<31>2005

17:00 Jun 23, 2006

Jkt 208001

proposed project in on the Klickitat

River in Klickitat County, Washington

in T3N, R12E, west half of Section 25

and east half of Section 26. The location

is about two miles upriver of the

confluence of the Klickitat River with

the Columbia River. Currently the Lyle

Falls Fishway does not meet federal and

state fish passage criteria for migrating

adult salmon. Design flows in the

existing fishway result in poor attraction

flows throughout the year, and

significantly reduced attraction flows

during periods of low river discharge

(August—September). During these

periods of low flows the natural falls

become an even greater obstruction to

salmon and steelhead, resulting in

lowered passage above Lyle Falls.

Proposed Action: The proposed action

is to improve and expand the Lyle Falls

Fishway. The project would be designed

to safely and effectively allow adult fish

to move through the existing Lyle Falls

into the upper reaches of the Klickitat

River, and would improve the adult

trapping capabilities at the fishway.

Improvements would include

reconstructing and lengthening the

fishway and trash racks, upgrading the

adult trapping facility, and adding a

Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tag

detector and video monitor. The adult

trap would facilitate the collection of

fish for monitoring and broodstock

purposes.

Process to Date: The Yakama Nation

has proposed the project to support its

fish passage and fish conservation

initiatives. At a meeting held in March

2006, the Northwest Power and

Conservation Council recommended

that BPA fund the preparation of an EIS

to focus on fish passage and monitoring

at Lyle Falls.

Alternatives Proposed for

Consideration: BPA has identified two

alternatives for examination in the DEIS.

They are the proposed action, described

above, and no action. We will use the

no-action alternative to explore the

environmental impacts of not improving

the existing ladder and passage facilities

at Lyle Falls. We will also consider in

the Draft EIS other reasonable

alternatives presented to us during the

scoping process.

Public Participation and

Identification of Environmental Issues:

BPA has established a 30-day scoping

period during which interested and

affected landowners, concerned

citizens, tribes, special interest groups,

government agencies, and any other

interested parties are invited to

comment on the scope of the proposed

EIS. Scoping will help BPA ensure that

a full range of issues related to this

proposal is addressed in the EIS, and

PO 00000

Frm 00017

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

also will help identify significant or

potentially significant impacts that may

result from the proposed project.

Environmental issues identified to date

include potential conflicts with the

Klickitat Wild and Scenic River

designation, use of explosives during

construction, impacts to archaeological

and historic resources, impacts to

threatened and endangered species, and

water quality impacts.

When completed, the Draft EIS will be

circulated for public and agency review

and comment; BPA will hold at least

one public comment meeting for the

Draft EIS. BPA will consider and

respond in the Final EIS to comments

received on the Draft EIS. BPA’s

subsequent decision will be

documented in a publicly available

Record of Decision.

Maps and further information are

available from BPA at the address

above.

ACTION: Notice of Order Concerning

Network Integration Transmission and

Ancillary Services Rates.

SUMMARY: The Deputy Secretary of

Energy confirmed and approved Rate

Order No. WAPA–127 and Rate

Schedules PD–NTS2 and INT–NTS2,

placing rates for Network Integration

Transmission Service (Network Service)

for the Parker-Davis Project (PDP) and

the Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest

Intertie Project (Intertie) of the Western

Area Power Administration (Western)

into effect on an interim basis. The

Deputy Secretary of Energy also

confirmed Rate Schedules DSW–SD2,

DSW–RS2, DSW–FR2, DSW–EI2, DSW–

SPR2, and DSW–SUR2, placing

ancillary services rates from the PDP,

Boulder Canyon Project (BCP), Central

Arizona Project (CAP), and that part of

the Colorado River Storage Project

(CRSP) located in the Western Area

Lower Colorado (WALC) Balancing

Authority and Transmission Operations

Area (BATO) into effect on an interim

basis. The provisional rates will be in

effect until the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (Commission)

confirms, approves, and places them

into effect on a final basis or until they

are replaced by other rates. The

provisional rates will provide sufficient

revenue to pay all annual costs,

including interest expense, and repay

power investment and irrigation aid,

within the allowable periods.

DATES: Rate Schedules DSW–SD2,

DSW–RS2, DSW–FR2, DSW–EI2, DSW–

SPR2, DSW–SUR2, PD–NTS2, and INT–

NTS2 will be placed into effect on an

interim basis on the first day of the first

full billing period beginning on or after

July 1, 2006, and will be in effect until

the Commission confirms, approves,

and places the rate schedules in effect

on a final basis through June 30, 2011,

or until the rate schedules are

superseded.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Secretary of Energy approved Rate

Schedules DSW–SD1, DSW–RS1, DSW–

FR1, DSW–EI1, DSW–SPR1, DSW–

SUR1, PD–NTS1, and INT–NTS1 for the

Desert Southwest Region (DSWR)

network service for PDP and Intertie,

and ancillary services for the WALC

BATO on May 3, 1999 (Rate Order No.

WAPA–84, 64 FR 25323, May 11, 1999).

The Commission confirmed and

PO 00000

Frm 00019

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

approved the rate schedules on January

20, 2000, in FERC Docket No. EF99–

5041–000, (90 FERC 62,032). Approval

for Rate Schedules DSW–SD1, DSW–

RS1, DSW–FR1, DSW–EI1, DSW–SPR1,

DSW–SUR1, PD–NTS1, and INT–NTS1

covered 5 years beginning on April 1,

1999, and ending on March 31, 2004.

These rate schedules were extended by

a series of Rate Orders through

September 30, 2006, with the most

recent Rate Order being Rate Order No.

WAPA–129 (71 FR 16572, April 3,

2006). The rate schedules were

extended to accommodate the Desert

Southwest Region (DSWR) MultiSystem Transmission Rate (MSTR)

process. An MSTR has not been

approved. However, Western plans to

seek approval of an MSTR for short-term

and non-firm transactions in the future.

The provisional formula for Network

Service in Rate Schedules PD–NTS2 and

INT–NTS2 will be the same as the

existing formula rates for Network

Service under Rate Schedules PD–NTS1

and INT–NTS1.

The existing transmission rates

include costs for Scheduling, System

Control, and Dispatch Services. The

transmission provisional formula rates

include the costs of these services.

Rate Schedules DSW–SD2, DSW–RS2,

DSW–FR2, DSW–EI2, DSW–SPR2, and

DSW–SUR2 supersede Rate Schedules

DSW–SD1, DSW–RS1, DSW–FR1,

DSW–EI1, DSW–SPR1, and DSW–SUR1,

respectively. Spinning Reserve and

Supplemental Reserve ancillary services

are being updated slightly to reflect

minor changes.

Under Schedule DSW–SD2,

Scheduling, System Control, and

Dispatch Service (Scheduling Service),

the rate is applied on a per tag basis.

The rate is calculated in two major

steps. First, the yearly costs associated

with capital improvements are

determined and divided by the number

of tags issued during the previous year.

Second, the average labor cost per tag is

determined and added to the capital

cost per tag. This methodology differs

from the previous methodology in that

it is based on tags rather than schedules

and a single rate is applied to all

transactions. These changes were made

because the tag was not used as a billing

unit when the rates under Rate Order

No. WAPA–84 were developed.

Under Schedule DSW–RS2, Reactive

Supply and Voltage Control Service

from Generation Sources (Voltage

Support Service), the rate is determined

by dividing the revenue requirement for

the service by the reservations for the

service. The revenue requirement for the

service is one minus the power factor

(1¥PF) times the combined generation
