DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Bonneville Power Administration 

Big Eddy-Knight Transmission Project 

AGENCY: Bonneville Power 

Administration (BPA), Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of Record 

of Decision (ROD). 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of the ROD to implement the 

Big Eddy-Knight Transmission Project 

in Wasco County, Oregon and Klickitat 

County, Washington. Construction of 

the Big Eddy-Knight Transmission 

Project will accommodate long-term 

firm transmission requests that BPA has 

received by increasing BPA’s 500-kV 

transmission capability to move power 

from the east side of the Cascade 

Mountains (along the Oregon/ 

Washington border) to load centers 

(such as Portland, Oregon) on the west 

side of the Cascades and to major 

transmission lines serving California. 

As described in the Big Eddy-Knight 

Transmission Project Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

(DOE/EIS–0421, July 2011), this project 

consists primarily of constructing a 

new, approximately 28-mile-long, 500- 

kilovolt (kV) transmission line and 

ancillary facilities between BPA’s 

existing Big Eddy Substation in The 

Dalles, Oregon, to a proposed new 

Knight Substation that would be 

connected to an existing BPA line about 

4 miles northwest of Goldendale, 

Washington. For the transmission line, 

BPA has decided to build East 

Alternative Option 3. For the first 14 

miles, the line will use double-circuit 

towers (combining the new line and an 

existing line on one set of towers) 

mostly on existing right-of-way. The 

remaining 14 miles of the new line will 

be built with single-circuit towers in a 

newly-established 150-foot wide 

transmission line right-of-way. BPA has 

also decided to build the small (about 1 

mile) realignment of the East Alternative 

on the Oregon side of the Columbia 

River, as described in the final EIS. For 

the proposed new Knight Substation, 

BPA has decided to build Knight 

Substation on Site 1, which is on private 

property about 0.5 mile west of Knight 

Road. For the fiber optic cable necessary 

for system communications, BPA has 

decided to build the Loop Back Option, 

which will string fiber optic cable on 

the new transmission towers from BPA’s 

Big Eddy Substation to the new Knight 

Substation and back again. The project 

also includes new equipment at BPA’s 

existing Big Eddy and Wautoma 

substations. BPA will install about 134 

new lattice-steel transmission towers 

that will have an average span length 

between towers of about 1,200 feet. The 

double-circuit towers that will be used 

for the first 14 miles will range in height 

from about 170–250 feet tall; the singlecircuit towers that will be used for the 

last 14 miles will be about 108–200 feet 

tall. The towers on either side of the 

Columbia River will be about 407 feet 

tall on the Oregon side and 232 feet tall 

on the Washington side. 

The conductor, fiber optic cable, and 

overhead ground wire for the new 

transmission line will be placed on 

these towers, and counterpoise (which 

takes any lightning charge from the 

overhead ground wire and dissipates it 

into the earth) will be buried in the 

ground at select towers. Marker balls 

will be placed on the overhead ground 

wire across the Columbia River and bird 

diverters will be installed on overhead 

ground wire at select locations. The 

towers on either side of the Columbia 

River will have lighting for aircraft 

safety. Road construction will include 

about 16 miles of new road, 9 miles of 

temporary road, 13 miles of existing 

road improvements, and 62 culverts in 

intermittent streams (many stream 

crossings will have more than 1 culvert). 

In addition, portions of county roads 

that will be used to access the line route 

will be improved as necessary. 

All mitigation measures identified in 

the EIS that are applicable to the 

selected alternative are adopted.

From the Department of Energy 

Residential Refrigerator and 

Refrigerator-Freezer Test Procedure 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and

ACTION: Notice of extension of interim 

waiver. 

SUMMARY: On March 25, 2011, the 

Department of Energy (DOE) published 

in the Federal Register a petition for 

waiver and notice granting an 

application for interim waiver to 

Samsung Electronics America, Inc. 

(Samsung) from energy efficiency test 

procedure requirements that are 

applicable to residential refrigerators 

and refrigerator-freezers. In today’s 

action, DOE is extending the interim 

waiver for 180 days.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

18, 2011, DOE granted to Samsung an 

interim waiver from the energy 

efficiency test procedure requirements 

in 10 CFR part 430 that are applicable 

to Samsung’s electric refrigerators and 

refrigerator-freezers that incorporate 

multiple defrost cycles, and requested 

comments on Samsung’s petition. 76 FR 

16760 (March 25, 2011). Pursuant to 10 

CFR 430.27(h), an interim waiver will 

terminate 180 days after issuance or 

upon the determination on the petition 

for waiver, whichever occurs first. An

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 186 / Monday, September 26, 2011 / Notices 59395 

interim waiver may be extended by DOE 

for 180 days. Notice of such extension 

and/or any modification of the terms or 

duration of the interim waiver shall be 

published in the Federal Register and 

shall be based on relevant information 

contained in the record and any 

comments received subsequent to 

issuance of the interim waiver. 

On August 17, 2011, Samsung 

requested an extension of its interim 

waiver. DOE recently published a notice 

reopening the comment period on its 

interim final rule for the refrigerator test 

procedure. 76 FR 57612 (Sept. 15, 2011). 

DOE intends to consider the comments 

received in response to this notice 

before publishing a decision and order 

concerning Samsung’s petition for 

waiver from the energy efficiency test 

procedure requirements for residential 

refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers in 

10 CFR part 430, which are applicable 

to Samsung’s electric refrigerators and 

refrigerator-freezers that incorporate 

multiple defrost cycles. Therefore, DOE 

has determined that it is appropriate to 

grant an extension of the interim waiver 

to Samsung for an additional 180 days, 

or until March 12, 2012, or until the 

determination on the petition for 

waiver, whichever occurs first.
