**ACTION :**  Notice of Availability of Record of Decision (ROD).

**SUMMARY :**  The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has decided to offer Puget Sound Energy Inc., a Large Generator Interconnection Agreement for interconnection of up to 1250 megawatts of power into the Federal Columbia River Transmission System. The power would be generated from their proposed Lower Snake River Wind Energy Project (Wind Project) in Garfield and Columbia counties, Washington. To interconnect the Wind Project, BPA will construct a new substation (Central Ferry Substation) on
the Little Goose-Lower Granite 500-
kilovolt transmission lines near the Port of Central Ferry, Washington. This
decision to interconnect the Wind Project is consistent with and tiered to
BPA’s Business Plan Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/EIS–0183, June 1995), and the Business Plan Record of Decision (BP ROD, August 1995).

Brookfield Power United States Generation Development, LLC ..................................................................... ................... Project No. 13077–000. Robertson Energy Group, LLC .................................................................................................... ....................................... Project No. 13081–000.

Brookfield Power United States Generation Development, LLC (Brookfield Power) and Robertson Energy Group, LLC (Robertson Energy) filed preliminary permit applications, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the George W. Andrews Hydroelectric Project located at the existing George W. Andrews Lock and Dam on the Chattahoochee River, Early County, Georgia, and Huston County, Alabama, near the town of Columbia, Alabama. The projects would occupy federal lands under the jurisdiction of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners’ express permission.

The proposed Projects description: The proposed George W. Andrews Lock and Dam Hydroelectric Project by Brookfield Power (Project No. 13077– 000, filed on November 16, 2007),
would be built on the Alabama side and would consist of: (1) A new powerhousecontaining four new pit turbinegenerators each rated at 6 MW for a total combined plant capacity of 24 MW; (2)
an intake channel and a tailrace channel; (3) an approximately ten miles long transmission line connecting the powerhouse to an existing substation; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 89 gigawatt-hours.

The proposed George W. Andrews Hydroelectric Project by Robertson Energy (Project No. 13081–000, filed on November 21, 2007), would be built on
the Alabama side and would consist of: (1) A new powerhouse containing four new turbine-generators each rated at 4 MW for a total combined plant capacity of 16 MW; (2) an intake channel and a
