joint policy interpretations on issues

related to infants, toddlers, and

assistance and dissemination of best

practice information. The FICC is

chaired by the Assistant Secretary for

Special Education and Rehabilitative

Services.

At this meeting the FICC plans to: (1)

update the membership on the White

House Disability review; and (2) review

Bonneville Power Administration

Notice of Intent to Prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement,

Notice of Floodplain and Wetlands

Involvement and Notice of Scoping

Meetings for the Hood River Fisheries

Restoration Project

AGENCY: Boneville Power

Administration (BPA), Department of

Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an

environmental impact statement (EIS),

and conduct scoping meetings and

notice of floodplain and wetlands

involvement.

SUMMARY: Today’s notice announces

BPA’s intention to prepare an EIS on

actions to protect and improve

anadromous salmonid populations in

the Hood River Basin. These actions are

proposed to mitigate the losses of fish

and wildlife associated with the

construction and operation of Federal

hydro-power facilities in the Columbia

River Basin. These actions are expected

to protect and improve the status of

native stocks of salmonids in the Hood

River and Columbia River Basin,

establish a viable spring chinook

population in the Hood River Basin, and

protect, to the extent practicable, other

aquatic and terrestrial resources in the

Hood River Basin, consistent with tribal

treaty rights, Federal environmental

legislation, and the fish and wildlife

management objectives of the

confederated Tribes of the Warm

Springs Indian Reservation (Tribes), and

the State of Oregon. In addition to

protecting and improving salmonid

populations, these actions would also

provide a sustainable Indian and nonIndian harvest of salmon and steelhead.

The Tribes and the State of Oregon,

Department of Fish and Wildlife, will be

cooperating agencies and will

participate in the development of the

EIS. This action may involve floodplain

and wetlands located in Hood River

County, Oregon.

In accordance with DOE regulations

for compliance with floodplain and

wetlands environmental review

requirements (10 CFR Part 1022), BPA

will prepare a floodplain and wetlands

assessment and will perform this

proposed action in a manner so as to

avoid or minimize potential harm to or

within the affected floodplain and

wetlands. The assessment and a

floodplain statement of findings will be

included in the EIS being prepared for

the proposed project in accordance with

NEPA.

DATES: BPA has established a 45-day

scoping period during which affected

landowners, concerned citizens, special

interest groups, local governments, and

any other interested parties are invited

to comment on the scope of the

proposed EIS. Scoping will help BPA

ensure that a full range of issues related

to this proposal is addressed in the EIS,

and also will identify significant or

potentially significant impacts that may

result from the proposed project.

Written comments are due to the

address below no later than May 21,

1995.

Comments may also be made at an

open house technical scoping meeting

for Federal, State and interested parties

on April 11, 1995, at the Bonneville

Power Administration, 905 NE 11th,

Room 106, Portland, Oregon, from 1:00

PM to 3:00 PM; an open house public

scoping meeting on April 12, 1995, at

the Yaucoma Buildings, 902 Wasco,

Hood River, Oregon, from 6:30 pm to

8:30 pm; and an open house scoping
