DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Bonneville Power Administration 

Fiscal Year (FY) 2010–2011 Proposed 

Power and Transmission Rate 

Adjustments; Public Hearing and 

Opportunities for Public Review and 

Comment; Correction 

AGENCY: Bonneville Power 

Administration (BPA), Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice of FY 2010–2011 

Proposed Power and Transmission Rate 

Adjustments; Correction. 

SUMMARY: On February 10, 2009, BPA 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register (74 FR 6609), (February 10, 

2009 Notice) announcing its upcoming 

consolidated rate proceeding, BPA–10, 

with separate sub-dockets for power and 

transmission rates for FY 2010–2011. 

However, on page 6611, third column in 

Part III.A., Distinguishing Between 

‘‘Participants’’ and ‘‘Parties,’’ of the 

February 10, 2009 Notice, BPA made a 

misstatement that it now wishes to 

correct. The fifth sentence in this 

section, which stated ‘‘BPA customers 

whose rates are subject to this 

proceeding, or their affiliated customer 

groups, may not submit participant 

comments.’’, is hereby deleted in its 

entirety and replaced with the following 

sentence ‘‘Any entity that has 

intervened in this proceeding may not 

submit participant comments.’’ 

Part III.A., on page 6611, third column 

is corrected to read as follows: 

Part III—Public Participation 

A. Distinguishing Between 

‘‘Participants’’ and ‘‘Parties’’ 

BPA distinguishes between 

‘‘participants in’’ and ‘‘parties to’’ the 

hearings. Apart from the formal hearing 

process, BPA will receive written 

comments, views, opinions, and 

information from ‘‘participants,’’ who 

are defined in BPA’s Procedures as 

persons who may submit comments 

without being subject to the duties of, or 

having the privileges of, parties. 

Participants’ written comments will be 

made part of the official record and 

considered by the Administrator. 

Participants are not entitled to 

participate in the prehearing conference; 

may not cross-examine parties’ 

witnesses, seek discovery, or serve or be 

served with documents; and are not 

subject to the same procedural 

requirements as parties. Any entity that 

has intervened in this proceeding may 

not submit participant comments. 

Members or employees of entities that 

have intervened in the rate proceeding 

may submit general comments as 

participants but may not use the 

comment procedures to address specific 

issues raised by their intervenor 

organization or others. 

Written comments by participants 

will be included in the record if they are 

received by April 24, 2009. Written 

views, supporting information, 

questions, and arguments should be 

submitted to the address listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this Notice. 

Entities or persons become parties to 

the proceeding by filing petitions to 

intervene, which must state the name 

and address of the entity or person 

requesting party status and their interest 

in the hearing. BPA customers and 

affiliated customer groups will be 

granted intervention based on a petition 

filed in conformance with BPA’s 

Procedures. Other petitioners must 

explain their interests in sufficient 

detail to permit the hearing officer to 

determine whether such petitioners 

have a relevant interest in the hearing. 

Pursuant to Rule 1010.1(d) of BPA’s 

Procedures, BPA waives the 

requirement in Rule 1010.4(d) that an 

opposition to an intervention petition be 

filed and served 24 hours before the 

prehearing conference. Any opposition 

to an intervention petition must instead 

be made at the prehearing conference. 

Any party, including BPA, may oppose 

a petition for intervention. All timely 

petitions will be ruled on by the hearing 

officer. Late interventions are strongly 

disfavored. Opposition to an untimely 

petition to intervene must be filed and 

received by BPA within two days after 

service of the petition.

Bonneville Power Administration 

Lyle Falls Fish Passage 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 

Proposed Action identified in the Lyle 

Falls Fish Passage Project EIS (DOE/ 

EIS–0397, November 2008). BPA has 

decided to fund modifications to the 

existing Lyle Falls Fishway on the lower 

Klickitat River (river mile 2.2) in 

Klickitat County, Washington to 

improve fish passage to the upper part 

of the Klickitat River watershed. In 

addition to improving fish passage, the 

modifications will facilitate collection 

and monitoring of biological 

information for future fishery 

management and enhance opportunities 

for adult salmonids to access and use 

habitat in the upper Klickitat River. The 

EIS was cooperatively prepared by BPA, 

the Confederated Tribes and Bands of 

the Yakama Nation (Yakama Nation), 

the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), and the 

Washington Department of Fish and 

Wildlife (WDFW). 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD and EIS 

may be obtained by calling BPA’s tollfree document request line, 1–800–622– 

4520. The ROD and EIS Summary are 

also available on our Web site, http://

Document_Library/Lyle_Falls/. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT: Mr. 

Carl J. Keller, Environmental Project 

Manager, Bonneville Power 

Administration KEC–4, P.O.Box 3621, 

Portland, Oregon 97208–3621; 

telephone number 1–503–230–7692; fax 

number 503–230–5699; or e-mail 

cjkeller@bpa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The lower 

10.8 miles of the Klickitat River are 

designated as a recreational river 

segment under the National Wild and 

Scenic Rivers Act. The USFS 

administers this portion of the Klickitat 

River and its corridor. The fishway at 

Lyle Falls is owned by WDFW and 

operated by the Yakama Nation. The 

existing fishway does not function 

effectively, particularly during low 

flows, and does not comply with fish 

passage standards established by the 

National Marine Fisheries Service and 

WDFW. The improvements will 

facilitate migration for spring and fall 

Chinook salmon, coho salmon, 

steelhead trout, Pacific lamprey, and 

bull trout, but the primary benefits will 

be to fall Chinook and coho salmon. 

In addition to increasing fish 

production in the Klickitat River, the 

project will contribute to an increase in 

fish production in the Columbia River 

Basin. The project will also help BPA 

fulfill its Federal Columbia River Power 

System off-site mitigation 

responsibilities under the Pacific 

Northwest Electric Power Planning and 

Conservation Act, and its 

responsibilities under the Endangered 

Species Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: EPA’s Office of Research 

and Development has initiated a process 

for updating the values currently found 

in the Integrated Risk Information 

System (IRIS) database. The intent of the 

IRIS Update Project is to review all 

dose-response assessment values (oral 

reference doses [RfDs], inhalation 

reference concentrations [RfCs], cancer 

slope factors, and inhalation unit risks) 

in IRIS that have a posting date more 

than 10-years old. Further information 

on the IRIS Update process can be found 

at the following URL: http:// 

cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/cfm/ 

recordisplay.cfm?deid=204063. ORD 

has requested that the Science Advisory 

Board (SAB) conduct a pilot review of 

draft assessments for several chemicals. 

The SAB was established by 42 U.S.C.
