ACTION: Notice of availability of Record of Decision (ROD). SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of the ROD to implement the Proposed Action identified in the Lyle Falls Fish Passage Project EIS (DOE/ EIS–0397, November 2008). BPA has decided to fund modifications to the existing Lyle Falls Fishway on the lower Klickitat River (river mile 2.2) in Klickitat County, Washington to improve fish passage to the upper part of the Klickitat River watershed. In addition to improving fish passage, the modifications will facilitate collection and monitoring of biological information for future fishery management and enhance opportunities for adult salmonids to access and use habitat in the upper Klickitat River. The EIS was cooperatively prepared by BPA, the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation (Yakama Nation), the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD and EIS may be obtained by calling BPA’s tollfree document request line, 1–800–622– 4520. The ROD and EIS Summary are also available on our Web site, https:// www.efw.bpa.gov/ environmental_services/ Document_Library/Lyle_Falls/. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT: Mr. Carl J.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The lower 10.8 miles of the Klickitat River are designated as a recreational river segment under the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. The USFS administers this portion of the Klickitat River and its corridor. The fishway at Lyle Falls is owned by WDFW and operated by the Yakama Nation. The existing fishway does not function effectively, particularly during low flows, and does not comply with fish passage standards established by the National Marine Fisheries Service and WDFW. The improvements will facilitate migration for spring and fall Chinook salmon, coho salmon, steelhead trout, Pacific lamprey, and bull trout, but the primary benefits will be to fall Chinook and coho salmon. In addition to increasing fish production in the Klickitat River, the project will contribute to an increase in fish production in the Columbia River Basin. The project will also help BPA fulfill its Federal Columbia River Power System off-site mitigation responsibilities under the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act, and its responsibilities under the Endangered Species Act.

Part III--Public Participation

A. Distinguishing Between ``Participants'' and ``Parties''

    BPA distinguishes between ``participants in'' and ``parties to'' 
the hearings. Apart from the formal hearing process, BPA will receive 
written comments, views, opinions, and information from 
``participants,'' who are defined in BPA's Procedures as persons who 
may submit comments without being subject to the duties of, or having 
the privileges of, parties. Participants' written comments will be made 
part of the official record and considered by the Administrator. 
Participants are not entitled to participate in the prehearing 
conference; may not cross-examine parties' witnesses, seek discovery, 
or serve or be served with documents; and are not subject to the same 
procedural requirements as parties. Any entity that has intervened in 
this proceeding may not submit participant comments. Members or 
employees of entities that have intervened in the rate proceeding may 
submit general comments as participants but may not use the comment 
procedures to address specific issues raised by their intervenor 
organization or others.
    Written comments by participants will be included in the record if 
they are received by April 24, 2009. Written views, supporting 
information, questions, and arguments should be submitted to the 
address listed in the ADDRESSES section of this Notice.
    Entities or persons become parties to the proceeding by filing 
petitions to intervene, which must state the name and address of the 
entity or person requesting party status and their interest in the 
hearing. BPA customers and affiliated customer groups will be granted 
intervention based on a petition filed in conformance with BPA's 
Procedures. Other petitioners must explain their interests in 
sufficient detail to permit the hearing officer to determine whether 
such petitioners have a relevant interest in the hearing. Pursuant to 
Rule 1010.1(d) of BPA's Procedures, BPA waives the requirement in Rule 
1010.4(d) that an opposition to an intervention petition be filed and 
served 24 hours before the prehearing conference. Any opposition to an 
intervention petition must instead be made at the prehearing 
conference. Any party, including BPA, may oppose a petition for 
intervention. All timely petitions will be ruled on by the hearing 
officer. Late interventions are strongly disfavored. Opposition to an 
untimely petition to intervene must be filed and received by BPA within 
two days after service of the petition.
