SUMMARY: The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has decided to offer Sagebrush Power Partners, LLC, a Large Generator Interconnection Agreement for interconnection of up to 108 megawatts of power into the Federal Columbia River Transmission System. The power would be generated from their proposed Kittitas Valley Wind Project (Wind Project) in Kittitas County, Washington. To interconnect the Wind Project, BPA will construct a new substation (Bettas Road Substation) on the Columbia-Covington 230-kilovolt transmission line about 11 miles northeast of Ellensburg, Washington. This decision to interconnect the Wind Project is consistent with and tiered to BPA’s Business Plan Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/EIS–0183, June 1995), and the Business Plan Record of Decision (BP ROD, August 1995). ADDRESSES: Copies of this tiered ROD and the Business Plan EIS may be obtained by calling BPA’s toll-free document request line, 1–800–622– 4520. The RODs and EIS are also available on our Web site, https:// www.efw.bpa.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Yarde, Bonneville Power Administration—KEC–4, P.O. Box 3621, Portland, Oregon 97208–3621; toll-free telephone number 1–800–622–4519; fax number 503–230–5699; or e-mail rryarde@bpa.gov. An environmental assessment (EA) has been prepared as part of staff’s review of the proposal. The proposed nonproject use is located on Lewis Smith Lake in Winston County, Alabama. In the application, Alabama Power requests Commission authorization to permit Silverock Cove, LLC to install 11 cluster docks (with a total of 74 boat slips), a walking trail, and a community boat launch within the project boundary. These structures would serve the residents of Silverock Cove, a planned community that is located adjacent to project lands. The EA contains Commission staff’s analysis of the probable environmental impacts of the proposal and concludes that approval of the proposal, as modified by the staff, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The EA is attached to a Commission order titled ‘‘Order Modifying and Approving Non-Project Use of Project Lands and Waters,’’ which was issued September 8, 2009, and is available for review and reproduction at the Commission’s Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426.
