related form provides a record of PHA
Board approval of how the amounts
shown on the operating budget were
arrived at, as well as justification of
certain specified amounts. The
information is reviewed by HUD to
determine if the plan of operation
adopted by the PHA and amounts
included therein are reasonable for the
efficient and economical operation of
the development(s), and the PHA is in
compliance with HUD procedures to
ensure that sound management
practices will be followed in the
operation of the development. A small
number of PHAs (200) are still required
to submit their operating budget
packages to HUD, namely those that are
troubled, those that are recently out of
troubled status or at risk of becoming
troubled, or those that are at risk of
fiscal insolvency. PHAs are still
required to prepare their operating
budgets and submit them to their Board
for approval prior to their operating
subsidy being approved by HUD. The
operating budgets must be kept on file
for review, if requested.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Searchlight Wind Energy, LLC (SWE), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Duke
Energy, applied to the BLM for a rightof-way (ROW) grant on public lands to
develop a 200-megawatt (MW) wind
energy facility. The ROW application
area encompasses approximately 18,790
acres of BLM-administered public lands
adjacent to Searchlight, Nevada, about
60 miles southeast of Las Vegas, in Clark
County, Nevada. In connection with the
SWE proposal, the Western Area Power
Administration (Western) has submitted
a ROW application to the BLM for
construction and operation of an
electrical interconnection facility/
switchyard adjacent to the existing
Davis-Mead transmission line. The
Western application is also analyzed as
part of the EIS. The proposed project is
in conformance with the 1998 Las Vegas
Resource Management Plan and Record
of Decision.
The proposed wind turbines located
on the SWE project would be up to 262feet tall from the ground to the hub with
blades extending an additional 153 feet,
for a total turbine height of up to 415
feet. In addition to the wind turbines,
the proposed project would require the
construction of pad mounted
transformers at the base of each turbine,
underground collection lines, new
access roads, two electrical substations,
an overhead transmission line
