DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Bonneville Power Administration 

Electrical Interconnection of the Lower 

Snake River Wind Energy Project 

AGENCY: Bonneville Power 

Administration (BPA), Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

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). 

ADDRESSES: Copies of this tiered ROD 

and the Business Plan EIS may be 

obtained by calling BPA’s toll-free 

document request line, 1–800–622– 

4520. The RODs and EIS are also 

available on our Web site, http://

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 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 powerhouse 

containing 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.

[Docket No. CP10–12–000] 

Florida Gas Transmission Company, 

LLC; Notice of Withdrawal of Staff 

Protest to Proposed Blanket Certificate 

Activity 

January 29, 2010. 

Commission staff (Protestor) hereby 

withdraws its Protest to the Proposed 

Blanket Certificate Activity filed in the 

above-referenced proceeding on January 

7, 2010. 

In its prior notice request filed on 

October 29, 2009 (in Docket No. CP10– 

12–000) and noticed on November 9, 

2009,1 Florida Gas Transmission 

Company, LLC proposed to replace, 

upgrade, and relocate portions of the 

existing St. Petersburg and Clearwater 

South Laterals and Block Valve 24–10 in 

the City of Clearwater, Pinellas County, 

Florida. Protestor protested the prior 

notice because the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (USFWS) had not 

determined if the proposed project 

would impact any federally listed 

threatened or endangered species. 

Subsequent to the filing of the protest, 

USFWS made a determination that no 

impacts on federally listed species 

would occur as a result of the proposed 

project. Thus, Protestor’s environmental 

concern has been satisfied. Accordingly, 

Protestor hereby withdraws its Protest to 

the Proposed Blanket Certificate 

Activity filed in the instant docket on 

January 7, 2010.
