White River Minimum Flows-Draft Addendum to Final Determination of Federal and Non-Federal Hydropower Impacts
Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern) has developed a draft addendum to its January 2009 Final Determination Report concerning the Federal and non-Federal hydropower impacts of the White River Minimum Flows project. The draft addendum documents proposed changes to Southwestern's final determination. The proposed changes include: (1) Accounting for the impacts that the increase in average pool elevation has on the operation of the Federal Bull Shoals and Norfork projects, and (2) the inclusion of an additional discount rate source to be used by Southwestern in determination of the present value of the losses to both Federal projects and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Project No. 2221.

Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Publication of the Petition for Waiver and Notice of Granting the Application for Interim Waiver of Electrolux From the Department of Energy Residential Refrigerator and Refrigerator-Freezer Test Procedures
This notice announces receipt of and publishes the Electrolux Home Products, Inc. (Electrolux) Petition for Waiver (hereafter, ``Petition'') from parts of the Department of Energy (DOE) test procedure for determining the energy consumption of electric refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers. The waiver request pertains to Electrolux's specified French door bottom-mount residential refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers, a product line that utilizes a control logic that changes the wattage of the anti-sweat heaters based upon the ambient relative humidity conditions in order to prevent condensation. The existing test procedure does not take humidity or adaptive control technology into account. Therefore, Electrolux has suggested an alternate test procedure that takes adaptive control technology into account when measuring energy consumption. DOE is soliciting comments, data, and information concerning Electrolux's Petition and the suggested alternate test procedure. DOE is also publishing notice of its March 3, 2009 grant of an interim waiver to Electrolux. Subsequently, DOE received a request from Electrolux to expand the scope of its interim waiver to four additional products. DOE has decided to grant this request.
Energy Efficiency Program for Consumer Products: Public Meeting and Availability of Framework Document for Battery Chargers and External Power Supplies
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is initiating a rulemaking process to consider establishing new energy conservation standards for battery chargers and amending the energy conservation standards for Class A external power supplies, as directed by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA). Accordingly, DOE will hold an informal public meeting to discuss and receive comments on its planned
Energy Conservation Program for Certain Industrial Equipment: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Heating, Air-Conditioning, and Water-Heating Equipment
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is announcing the availability of an environmental assessment (EA) to accompany its notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) considering potential energy conservation standards for certain commercial and industrial equipment, including commercial heating, air-conditioning, and water-heating equipment, published in the Federal Register on March 20, 2009. Specifically, this EA includes a concise examination of the impacts of emission reductions likely to result from the proposed standards for commercial packaged boilers and water-cooled and evaporatively-cooled commercial package air conditioners and heat pumps with a cooling capacity at or above 240,000 Btu/h and less than 760,000 Btu/h. The EA has been incorporated as Chapter 8 in the NOPR technical support document (TSD). In addition, Chapter 9 of the NOPR TSD provides the results of DOE's monetization analysis of these potential emission

Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program-Eastern Division-Rate Order No. WAPA-144
The Western Area Power Administration (Western) is proposing to update its rates for transmission and ancillary services for the Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin ProgramEastern Division (P-SMBPED). Current formula rates, under Rate Schedules UGP-NT1, UGP-FPT1, UGP- NFPT1, UGP-AS1, UGP-AS2, UGP-AS3, UGP-AS4, UGP-AS5, and UGP-AS6 will expire on September 30, 2010. Western is also proposing to add a new rate schedule, Rate Schedule UGP-AS7, for Generator Imbalance Service. Western is proposing these rates to meet evolving and expanding transmission system and ancillary services requirements. Western will prepare a brochure that provides detailed information on the proposed rates to all interested parties. The proposed rates, under Rate Schedules UGP-NT1, UGP-FPT1, UGP-NFPT1, UGP-AS1, UGP-AS2, UGP-AS3, UGP- AS4, UGP-AS5, and UGP-AS6, are scheduled to go into effect on January 1, 2010, and will remain in effect through December 31, 2014, or until superseded. The new rate schedule for Generator Imbalance Service, under Rate Schedule UGP-AS7, is scheduled to go into effect on the latter of January 1, 2010, or when Western's Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) is revised to provide for Generator Imbalance Service. If implemented, Rate Schedule UGP-AS7 will also remain in effect through December 31, 2014, or until superseded, to coincide with the other ancillary service rates in this rate order. Publication of this Federal Register notice begins the formal process for the proposed formula rates.

Big Eddy-Knight Transmission Project
BPA intends to prepare an EIS in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) on the construction, operation, and maintenance of a proposed 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line and substation. The project would be located in Wasco County, Oregon and Klickitat County, Washington. The new BPA transmission line would extend generally northeast from BPA's existing 500-kV Big Eddy Substation in The Dalles, Oregon, to a new BPA 500-kV substation proposed to be connected to BPA's existing Wautoma-Ostrander 500-kV transmission line approximately 4 miles northwest of Goldendale, Washington. The proposed BPA substation would be called Knight Substation. BPA is considering three routing alternatives for the proposed transmission line; portions of all three routes parallel existing BPA lines in the area. The lengths of the routing alternatives range from about 26 to 28 miles. The proposed Big Eddy-Knight transmission line is needed to increase transmission capacity to respond to requests for transmission service in this area.
