The NRC invites the following entities 

to participate in the scoping process: 

a. Any Federal agency that has 

jurisdiction by law or special expertise 

with respect to any environmental 

impact involved, or that is authorized to 

develop and enforce relevant 

environmental standards. 

b. Any affected State and local 

government agencies, including those 

authorized to develop and enforce 

relevant environmental standards. 

c. Any affected Indian tribe. 

d. Any person who requests or has 

requested an opportunity to participate 

in the scoping process. 

The scoping process for an EIS may 

include a public scoping meeting to 

help identify significant issues related 

to a proposed activity and to determine 

the scope of issues to be addressed in an 

EIS. The NRC conducted four public 

meetings on the GEIS in July 2003. 

These meetings were transcribed; the 

transcripts are available for public 

inspection at the NRC PDR or from the 

Publicly Available Records component 

of NRC’s ADAMS. ADAMS is accessible 

at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/ 

adams.html, which provides access 

through the NRC’s Electronic Reading 

Room link. Written comments already 

received by the Commission are 

available electronically and accessible 

through the NRC’s Electronic Reading 

Room link in ADAMS. As described 

above, persons who do not have access 

to ADAMS, or who encounter problems 

in accessing the documents located in 

ADAMS, should contact the NRC’s PDR 

Reference staff at 1–800–397–4209, or 

301–415–4737, or by e-mail to 

PDR@NRC.GOV. 

Members of the public may send any 

additional written comments on the 

environmental scope of the GEIS Update 

Project to the Chief, Rules and 

Directives Branch, Division of 

Administrative Services, Office of 

Administration, Mailstop T–6D59, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, and 

should cite the publication date and 

page number of this Federal Register 

notice. Comments may also be delivered 

to Room T–6D59, Two White Flint 

North, 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 

Maryland, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. 

during Federal workdays. To be 

considered in the scoping process, 

written comments should be 

postmarked by December 30, 2005. 

Additional electronic comments may be 

sent by e-mail to the NRC at 

LRGEISUpdate@nrc.gov. Electronic 

submissions should be sent no later 

than December 30, 2005, to be 

considered timely in the scoping 

process. Comments will be available 

electronically and accessible through 

the NRC’s Electronic Reading Room link 

at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/ 

adams.html. 

At the conclusion of the scoping 

process, the NRC will prepare a 

summary of the determinations and 

conclusions reached, including the 

significant issues identified, and will 

send a copy of the summary to 

participants in the scoping process. The 

summary also will be available for 

inspection at the NRC PDR or through 

the Electronic Reading Room link. If 

necessary, the staff will then prepare 

and issue for comment the draft 

addendum to the GEIS, which will be 

the subject of a separate Federal 

Register notice, to report the results of 

the NRC’s review. At this time, the NRC 

plans to conduct separate public 

meetings, at similar locations as the 

public scoping meetings, on the draft 

addendum to the GEIS. Copies of the 

draft addendum to the GEIS will be 

available for public inspection at the 

above-mentioned address, and one copy 

per request will be provided free of 

charge. After receipt and consideration 

of the comments on the draft, the NRC 

will prepare a final addendum to the 

GEIS, which will also be available for 

public inspection. Should the review 

indicate that one or more environmental 

issues enumerated in Appendix B to 

Subpart A of Part 51, ‘‘Environmental 

Effects of Renewing the Operating 

License of a Nuclear Power Plant,’’

requires change, then the proposed and 

final rule amendments will accompany 

the draft and final addendum to the 

GEIS.

Power and Conservation Planning 

Council (Northwest Power and 

Conservation Council; Council). 

ACTION: Notice of final adoption of the 

subbasin plan amendments to the 

Council’s Columbia River Basin and 

Wildlife Program (Fish and Wildlife 

Program). 

SUMMARY: The Pacific Northwest 

Electric Power Planning and 

Conservation Act of 1980 (U.S.C. 839 et 

seq.) (the Power Act) requires the 

Northwest Power and Conservation 

Council to adopt and periodically 

review and amend the Fish and Wildlife 

Program. The program must be designed 

to protect, mitigate and enhance the fish 

and wildlife affected by the 

development and operation of the 

hydroelectric facilities of the Columbia 

River and its tributaries, while also 

assuring the region of an adequate, 

efficient, economical and reliable power 

supply. 

On August 12, 2002, pursuant to 

Section 4(h) of the Power Act, the 

Council requested in writing that state 

and federal fish and wildlife agencies, 

Indian tribes and others submit 

recommendations for amendments to 

the Fish and Wildlife Program. The 

Council requested recommendations for 

objectives and measures for the program 

at the subbasin level, to be submitted in

subbasin or as possible elements for a 

subbasin plan. 

On May 28, 2004, the Council 

received proposed subbasin plans for 59 

subbasins of the Columbia River, 

formally recommended for amendment 

into the Council’s Fish and Wildlife 

Program. The Council then engaged in 

the lengthy public review process 

required by the Power Act for 

recommended program amendments, 

including notice and public review and 

comment on the recommendations and 

notice, comment and public hearings in 

all four states of the Columbia basin on 

proposed draft amendments based on 

the recommendations. 

Following the required public review, 

the Council formally adopted as 

amendments into the Fish and Wildlife 

Program subbasin plans for 57 Columbia 

basin subbasins, based on the 

recommendations submitted. The 

Council made its decisions to adopt the 

subbasin plan amendments at its public 

meetings in December 2004, February 

2005, May 2005 and June 2005. At its 

September 2005 public meeting, the 

Council concluded its subbasin plan 

program amendment process by 

adopting, as part of its program, a 

document describing the subbasin plan 

amendment process, making written 

findings explaining the Council’s 

disposition of the amendment 

recommendations, and explaining how 

the Council responded to the public 

comment on the recommendations and 

draft program amendments. This 

documents also serves as a Statement of 

Basis and Purpose for the Council’s 

decision.

program and the program document

II. Background 

On September 14, 2005, J.P. Morgan 

Chase & Co. (Chase) filed a petition to 

reopen the record in this docket so that 

it can provide supplemental information 

for the Commission’s reconsideration of 

the Bank One Opinion and 

Recommended Decision Approving 

Negotiated Service Agreement issued 

December 17, 2004.1 Chase argues that 

it has been denied due process, and 

unless it has a timely opportunity to 

supplement the record, a profound 

injustice will result. 

If the Commission grants the Chase 

Petition, issues potentially may be 

considered related to negotiated service 

agreements based solely on pure 

volume-based discounts. These novel 

issues may not have been fully 

considered or litigated under the 

original Bank One Request.2 The Bank 

One Request was filed as a request to 

consider a negotiated service agreement 

functionally equivalent to the Capital 

One negotiated service agreement based 

on a declining block rate volume 

discount element and an address 

correction cost savings element. 

On September 27, 2005, the 

Commission issued Notice of Inquiry 

No. 1 Regarding Status of Settlement 

Agreement (NOI) seeking comments as 

to the status of the settlement agreement 

signed by a majority of the participants 

in the Bank One case, and seeking
