Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 226 / Friday, November 21, 2008 / Notices 6. The proposed role that Western might play in the development of the transmission project. 7. The amount of funds the entity might be willing to contribute to Western to accomplish its role. 8. A brief description of any other information that would be useful in evaluating the SOI. Each SOI will be evaluated by Western based on the feasibility of developing a project that meets the criteria set forth in EPAct05 section 1222, while advancing the goal of facilitating the transmission of wind generation or other renewable generation sources from remote locations to distant load centers. Given the $100 million limit through September 30, 2015, on the Secretary’s authority to accept contributed funds, the SOIs received in response to this request, and the request for SOIs simultaneously being issued by Southwestern, will be evaluated through a competitive evaluation process. Environmental Compliance In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.); the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for implementing NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508); and DOE NEPA Implementing Procedures and Guidelines (10 CFR part 1021), Western has determined this action is categorically excluded from further NEPA analysis. Future actions that the Secretary and Western may undertake under EPAct05 section 1222 as a result of this request will undergo separate NEPA analysis on a project by project basis.
