Policy for Power Supply Role for Fiscal Years 2007-2011 (Regional Dialogue)
This notice announces the availability of the NEPA ROD to adopt a policy on BPA's power supply role for fiscal years 2007-2011. This policy is intended to provide BPA's customers with greater clarity about their Federal power supply so they can effectively plan for the future and make capital investments in long-term electricity infrastructure if they choose. It is also intended to provide guidance on certain rate matters BPA expects to be addressed in the next rate period, while assisting the agency in fulfilling its long-term strategic goals and responsibilities to the region. Each policy issue has been evaluated for environmental effects and, for those involving NEPA, those effects have been addressed in the Business Plan Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/EIS-0183, June 1995). Thus, this NEPA ROD is consistent with and tiered to the Business Plan EIS and the Business Plan ROD (August 15, 1995). This policy, which is also referred to as the Regional Dialogue as it is the result of a regional discussion process beginning in April 2002, is described more fully in a separately issued Administrator's ROD that addresses the legal and policy rationale supporting the administrative decisions.
Klondike III Wind Project Interconnection
This notice announces BPA's intention to prepare an EIS, under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), on a proposed interconnection requested by PPM Energy, Inc. (PPM) to integrate electrical power from their proposed Klondike III Wind Project (Wind Project) into the Federal Columbia River Transmission System (FCRTS). The Wind Project is located in Sherman County, Oregon. BPA proposes to execute an agreement with PPM to provide them with an interconnection for up to 300 megawatts (MW) of generation from the Wind Project. Interconnection would require BPA to build and operate a new 230- kilovolt (kV) transmission line and two substations.
Bonneville Power Administration's Policy for Power Supply Role for Fiscal Years 2007-2011
This notice announces BPA's final policy regarding how the agency intends to market power and distribute the costs and benefits of the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) in the Pacific Northwest for fiscal years (FY) 2007-2011. This policy clarifies BPA's obligation to supply power to its regional power customers and guides BPA in developing and establishing its firm power rates in the future.
Alternative Fuel Transportation Program; Fischer-Tropsch Diesel Fuels
This document announces the availability of a Department of Energy (DOE) document concerning diesel fuel made from natural gas using the Fischer-Tropsch process which is being added to docket number EE-RM-02-200. The document is the DOE's status review of its evaluation of Fischer-Tropsch diesel (FTD) under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct), undertaken partly in response to three petitions received by DOE requesting rulemakings to designate FTD fuels as alternative fuels. For the reasons identified in the status review document, DOE currently is unable to make the necessary finding that FTD fuel meets the ``yields substantial environmental benefits'' criterion under section 301(2) and is not undertaking a rulemaking at this time. DOE will keep the rulemaking docket open indefinitely and will periodically review any new submissions received.
