64334 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 203 / Friday, October 19, 2012 / Notices 

1On November 16, 2011, DOE’s Acting General 

Counsel delegated to Western’s Administrator all 

the authorities of the General Counsel respecting 

environmental impact statements. 

Western’s action. Western’s action does 

not affect floodplains or wetlands. 

Alternatives Considered 

FHWA examined several road 

alignment alternatives, ultimately 

selecting Alternative D as their preferred 

alternative. Western had to wait for 

FHWA to decide on its course of action 

before determining which transmission 

structures and lines would be affected 

and need to be modified. The no action 

alternative assumed that the Project 

would not be constructed and no 

transmission structures or lines would 

need to be modified. FHWA did not 

select the no action alternative since it 

did not meet their purpose and need. 

Mitigation Measures 

Western will adhere to its 

Construction Standard 13 

‘‘Environmental Quality Protection.’’ 

Long-term operations of the 

transmission line will follow Western’s 

standard operating procedures and will 

not be affected by this action. In 

addition to Construction Standard 13, 

the following measures apply to the 

modifications that will be made to 

Western’s transmission system: 

1. Protection of the desert tortoise 

through compliance with the FHWA 

Biological Opinion. 

2. Protection of cultural and historical 

resources as signatories to the 

Programmatic Agreement. 

Decision 

Western’s decision is to modify its 

transmission system as described above 

in support of FHWA’s decision to 

construct Alternative D.1 This ROD was 

prepared following the requirements of 

the Council on Environmental Quality 

Regulations for Implementing NEPA (40 

CFR parts 1500–1508) and DOE’s 

Procedures for Implementing NEPA (10 

CFR part 1021).
