PACIFIC NORTHWEST ELECTRIC 

POWER AND CONSERVATION 

PLANNING COUNCIL 

Northwest Power and Conservation 

Planning Council Subbasin Plan; Draft 

Amendments

AGENCY: Pacific Northwest Electric 

Power and Conservation Planning 

Council (Northwest Power and 

Conservation Council; Council).

ACTION: Notice of availability and 

opportunity to comment on subbasin 

plan draft amendments to the Council’s 

Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife 

Program (program). 

SUMMARY: Following the mandate set out 

in the Pacific Northwest Electric Power 

Planning and Conservation Act of 1980 

(16 U.S.C. 839 et seq.) (the Act), in 

November 1982 the Council adopted a 

regional program, the Columbia River 

Basin Fish and Wildlife Program. The 

Act requires the program be designed to 

protect, mitigate and enhance fish and 

wildlife of the Columbia River Basin 

affected by hydropower dams, while 

also assuring the region of an adequate, 

efficient, economical and reliable power 

supply.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2000, 

the Council began a comprehensive 

revision of the program. First, the 

Council amended the program by 

adopting a framework of vision, 

objectives and strategies at different 

geographic scales (basinwide, ecological 

province, subbasin), tied together with a 

consistent scientific foundation. The 

Council also adopted basinwide 

provisions and described how it 

proposed to add more specific 

objectives and measures to the program 

through integrated subbasin plans for 

the tributary subbasins of the Columbia 

and for specific mainstem reaches. The 

draft amendments now proposed for 

adoption will add subbasin plans to the 

general, basinwide provisions of the 

program as the next step in the 

comprehensive revision. 

On August 12, 2002, the Council 

solicited recommendations for 

amendments to the program at the 

subbasin level from the region’s State 

and Federal fish and wildlife agencies, 

Indian tribes, and others, as required by 

the Act. At the same time, the Council 

worked with a broad range of interests 

in the region and developed a 

‘‘Technical Guide for Subbasin 

Planners’’ to help ensure that plans had 

a consistent format and content. The 

Council also worked with the 

Bonneville Power Administration to 

secure funding support for planning 

groups, the first time that funding has 

been made available to help develop 

fish and wildlife program amendment 

recommendations. Subbasin planners 

were asked to develop subbasin plans 

that incorporate a technical assessment, 

an inventory of past and present 

activities, and a management plan 

consisting of a vision, biological 

objectives and implementation 

strategies for the subbasin. 

On May 28, 2004, the Council 

received 59 recommendations for 

subbasin plans in 58 subbasins from 

various planning entities. The Council 

made those recommendations available 

for public review and comment, 

including review by a team of 

independent scientists. The public 

comment period on the 

recommendations ended on August 12, 

2004. The Council received an extensive 

set of comments. The Council staff and 

Council also reviewed the plans during 

the comment period for consistency 

with standards in the Act for program 

amendments and with the provisions in 

the 2000 Program. 

After its review of the 

recommendations and the comments on 

recommendations, on October 13, 2004, 

the Council concluded that 29 of the 59 

subbasin plan recommendations were 

ready for release for public review as 

draft amendments to the fish and 

wildlife program. The Council proposes 

to adopt the management plan portions 

of these subbasin plans as parts of the 

program. The underlying technical 

assessments and inventories will be 

placed in an appendix to the program. 

The Council has scheduled public 

hearings in the following locations to 

accept oral and written comments on 

draft subbasin plan program 

amendments. Wednesday, October 27: 

Wenatchee, Washington, and Euguene, 

Oregon; Thursday, October 28:

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon written request, copies available 

from: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Filings and 

Information Services, Washington, DC 

20549.

Extension: Rule 17a–3; SEC File No. 270–

026; OMB Control No. 3235–0033.

Notice is hereby given that pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the 

previously approved collection of 

information discussed below. 

Rule 17a–3 [17 CFR 240.17a–3] under 

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

requires records to be made by certain 

exchange members, brokers, and 

dealers, to be used in monitoring 

compliance with the Commission’s 

financial responsibility program and 

antifraud and antimanipulative rules as 

well as other rules and regulations of 

the Commission and the self-regulatory 

organizations. It is estimated that 

approximately 6,900 active brokerdealer respondents registered with the 

Commission incur an average burden of 

2,421,195 hours per year to comply with 

this rule. It is estimated that 

approximately 6,900 active brokerdealer respondents registered with the 

Commission incur an average burden of 

2,421,195 hours per year to comply with 

this rule. The Commission believes that 

requirements included in Rule 17a–

3(a)(17) relating to new account data 

would be performed by clerical workers. 

The hourly wage of the average person 

who would be providing customers with 

account record information is $24 per 

hour.1 The hourly wage of the average 

person who would be updating account 

record information is $25 per hour.2

Thus the aggregate cost of these hours 

is about $16.86 million ((601,753 hours 

× $24)3 + (96,742 hours × $25)4). The 

Commission believes that requirements 

contained in the rest of Rule 17a–3 

would be performed by individuals in a 

broker-dealer’s compliance department
