BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

PACIFIC NORTHWEST ELECTRIC 

POWER AND CONSERVATION 

PLANNING COUNCIL 

Amended Columbia River Basin Fish 

and Wildlife Program 

AGENCY: Pacific Northwest Electric 

Power and Conservation Planning 

Council (Northwest Power and 

Conservation Council, Council), an 

interstate compact agency organized 

under the authority of the Pacific 

Northwest Electric Power Planning and 

Conservation Act of 1980, 16 U.S.C. 839 

et seq. (Northwest Power Act). 

ACTION: Notice of final action adopting 

the amended Columbia River Basin Fish 

and Wildlife Program. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 4(h) of the 

Northwest Power Act, the Council has 

amended its Columbia River Basin Fish 

and Wildlife Program (program). The 

final amended program may be found 

on the Council’s Web site at http:// 

www.nwcouncil.org/fw/program. 

Background: Pursuant to section 4(h) of 

the Northwest Power Act, in November 

2007 the Northwest Power and 

Conservation Council requested in 

writing that State and Federal fish and 

wildlife agencies, Indian tribes, and 

others submit recommendations for 

amendments to the Council’s Columbia 

River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program. 

The Council received over 3000 pages of 

recommendations and supporting 

information from 65 entities. The 

Council then received extensive written 

public comment on the program 

amendment recommendations. In 

September 2008, after reviewing the 

recommendations, the supporting 

information, and the comments received 

on the recommendations, the Council 

released for public review a draft 

revised Fish and Wildlife Program. The 

Council received over 1000 pages of 

substantial written comments on the 

draft amendments. All of these 

documents may be found on the 

Council’s Web site at http:// 

www.nwcouncil.org/fw/program/ 

2008amend. The Council also took oral 

testimony at a dozen public hearings 

around the region. Transcripts of these 

hearings are in the administrative record 

along with the written comments. As 

specified in section 4(h)(5), the Council 

also held a number of consultations on 

the recommendations and draft 

amendments with representatives of 

State and Federal fish and wildlife 

agencies, Indian tribes, Federal 

hydrosystem agencies, and customers of 

the Bonneville Power Administration. 

Notes from these consultations are also 

in the administrative record. 

Following this public review process 

required by the Northwest Power Act, 

and after deliberations in public over 

the course of several Council meetings, 

the Council adopted the final revised 

program in February 2009 at a Council 

meeting in Portland, Oregon. The 

Council based its decisions on the 

recommendations, supporting 

documents, and the views and 

information obtained through public 

comment and participation and 

consultation with the agencies, tribes, 

and customers. The Council’s Columbia 

River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program 

continues to include detailed plans for 

nearly 60 subbasins and mainstem 

reaches of the Columbia River Basin. 

The subbasin plans themselves were not 

revised in this process. In the final step 

of this program amendment process, at 

its June 2009 meeting in Whitefish, 

Montana, the Council adopted written 

findings explaining its disposition of the 

program amendment recommendations, 

as required by section 4(h)(7) of the 

Northwest Power Act, along with 

responses to comments received on the 

program amendment recommendations 

and on the draft amended program. The 

findings and responses have been made 

part of the program as Appendix F. All 

of the elements of the Council’s Fish 

and Wildlife Program may be found on 

the Council’s Web site at http:// 

www.nwcouncil.org/fw/program.
