DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Bonneville Power Administration Chief Joseph Hatchery Program [FR Doc. 2010–6881 Filed 3–26–10; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6450–01–P Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), Department of Energy (DOE). AGENCY: Notice of availability of Record of Decision (ROD). ACTION: This notice announces the availability of the ROD to implement the proposed action identified in BPA’s Chief Joseph Hatchery Program Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/ EIS–0384, November 2009). BPA has decided to fund the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Chief Joseph Hatchery and associated facilities in Okanogan County, Washington and adopt the mitigation measures in the Mitigation Action Plan. All practicable means to avoid or minimize environmental harm are adopted. The hatchery program will produce juvenile Chinook salmon and will help mitigate for the effects of the Federal Columbia River Power System on fish and wildlife by enhancing Chinook populations below Chief Joseph Dam in the Okanogan River subbasin and upper middle Columbia River subbasin, and by complementing other on-going salmon protection and mitigation measures. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the operator of the Chief Joseph Dam, is a Federal cooperating agency under NEPA; the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation are the project sponsors and will own and operate the Chinook salmon production program and hatchery facilities. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; and the State of Washington’s Department of Fish and Wildlife were consulted during the development of the EIS. BPA is issuing this ROD for its actions only; the USACE will issue its own separate ROD.

Title: Section 90.215, Transmitter Measurements. Form No.: N/A. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other for– profit, not–for–profit institutions, and state, local or tribal government. Number of Respondents: 184,655 respondents; 409,048 responses. Estimated Time Per Response: .033 hours Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.

There is a 8,451 hour increase in this submission which is due to re–calculations of the Commission’s previous estimates. Section 90.215 requires station licensees to measure the carrier frequency, output power, and modulation of each transmitter authorized to operate with power in excess of two watts when the transmitter is initially installed and when any changes are made which would likely affect the modulation characteristics. Such measurements, which help ensure proper operation of transmitters, are to be made by a qualified engineering measurement service, and are required to be retained in the station records, along with the name and address of the engineering measurement service, and the person making the measurements. The information is normally used by the licensee to ensure that equipment is operating within prescribed tolerances. Prior technical operation of transmitters helps limit interference to other users E:\FR\FM\29MRN1.SGM 29MRN1
