SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 4(h) of the
Northwest Power Act, the Council has
amended its Columbia River Basin Fish
and Wildlife Program (program). The
final amended program may be found
on the Council’s Web site at https://
www.nwcouncil.org/fw/program.
Background: Pursuant to section 4(h) of
the Northwest Power Act, in November
2007 the Northwest Power and
Conservation Council requested in
writing that State and Federal fish and
wildlife agencies, Indian tribes, and
others submit recommendations for
amendments to the Council’s Columbia
River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program.
The Council received over 3000 pages of
recommendations and supporting
information from 65 entities. The
Council then received extensive written
public comment on the program
amendment recommendations. In
September 2008, after reviewing the
recommendations, the supporting
information, and the comments received
on the recommendations, the Council
released for public review a draft
revised Fish and Wildlife Program. The
Council received over 1000 pages of
substantial written comments on the
draft amendments. All of these
documents may be found on the
Council’s Web site at https://
www.nwcouncil.org/fw/program/
2008amend. The Council also took oral

testimony at a dozen public hearings
around the region. Transcripts of these
hearings are in the administrative record
along with the written comments. As
specified in section 4(h)(5), the Council
also held a number of consultations on
the recommendations and draft
amendments with representatives of
State and Federal fish and wildlife
agencies, Indian tribes, Federal
hydrosystem agencies, and customers of
the Bonneville Power Administration.
Notes from these consultations are also
in the administrative record.
Following this public review process
required by the Northwest Power Act,
and after deliberations in public over
the course of several Council meetings,
the Council adopted the final revised
program in February 2009 at a Council
meeting in Portland, Oregon. The
Council based its decisions on the
recommendations, supporting
documents, and the views and
information obtained through public
comment and participation and
consultation with the agencies, tribes,
and customers. The Council’s Columbia
River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program
continues to include detailed plans for
nearly 60 subbasins and mainstem
reaches of the Columbia River Basin.
The subbasin plans themselves were not
revised in this process. In the final step
of this program amendment process, at
its June 2009 meeting in Whitefish,
Montana, the Council adopted written
findings explaining its disposition of the
program amendment recommendations,
as required by section 4(h)(7) of the
Northwest Power Act, along with
responses to comments received on the
program amendment recommendations
and on the draft amended program. The
findings and responses have been made
part of the program as Appendix F. All
of the elements of the Council’s Fish
and Wildlife Program may be found on
the Council’s Web site at https://
www.nwcouncil.org/fw/program.
