Fish and Wildlife Implementation Plan

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 BPA's ROD to adopt 
the Preferred Alternative (PA 2002) Policy Direction in its Fish and 
Wildlife Implementation Plan Environmental Impact Statement (FWIP EIS, 
DOE/EIS-0312, April 2003). BPA has decided to adopt this Preferred 
Alternative as a comprehensive and consistent policy to guide the 
implementation and funding of the agency's fish and wildlife mitigation 
and recovery efforts. PA 2002 focuses on enhancing fish and wildlife 
habitat, modifying hydro operations and structures, and reforming 
hatcheries to both increase populations of listed fish stocks and 
provide long-term harvest opportunities. PA 2002 reflects fish and 
wildlife policy guidance for the Pacific Northwest region and considers 
extensive public input. It is also consistent with the fish and 
wildlife component of BPA's earlier Business
