ACTION: Notice of Record of Decision (ROD).

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of the ROD to implement
the Proposed Action identified in the Klondike III/Biglow Canyon Wind
Integration Project Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) (DOE/
EIS-0374, September 2006). BPA will offer PPM Energy, Inc. contract
terms for interconnection of the proposed Klondike III Wind Project,
located in Sherman County, Oregon, with the Federal Columbia River
Transmission System (FCRTS). BPA will also offer Portland General
Electric contract terms for interconnection of its proposed Biglow
Canyon Wind Farm, also located in Sherman County, Oregon, with the
FCRTS, as proposed in the Final EIS. To interconnect these wind
projects, BPA will build and operate a 12-mile-long, 230-kilovolt (kV)
double-circuit transmission line between the wind projects and BPA's
new 230-kV John Day Substation located in Sherman County, Oregon. BPA
will also expand its existing 500-kV John Day Substation.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD and Final EIS may be obtained by calling

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Integrating the proposed wind projects will
maintain transmission system reliability to industry standards, assure
consistency with BPA's statutory obligations, meet BPA's contractual
obligations, minimize costs, encourage development of renewable energy
resources, and minimize environmental impacts. As described in the EIS,
BPA's new 230-kV transmission line, new substation, and John Day
Substation expansion would generally create no or low impacts. BPA
minimized potential environmental and social impacts through project
design and development of mitigation measures. All mitigation measures
presented in the Final EIS for the selected alternative have been
incorporated into a Mitigation Action Plan. In issuing this ROD, BPA is
also committing to all mitigation measures in the Mitigation Action
Plan.
