AGENCY: Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), Department of Energy 
(DOE).

ACTION: Notice of availability of Revised Record of Decision (ROD).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of the Revised ROD to 
offer contract terms for an optional electrical interconnection of the 
proposed Summit/Westward Project into the Federal Columbia River 
Transmission System at a point near the existing Wauna Substation of 
the Clatskanie People's Utility District (CPUD), Columbia County, 
Oregon. The project developer, Westward Energy, LLC, is evaluating this 
interconnection plan along with BPA's previous offer for 
interconnection at BPA's Allston Substation (documented in a ROD dated 
July 25, 2003). BPA's decision to offer contract terms is consistent 
with our Business Plan Final Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/EIS-
0183, June 1995) and the Business Plan ROD (August 1995). In a related 
action, BPA has also decided to facilitate CPUD construction of a new 
230-kilovolt transmission line by allowing joint use of BPA right-of-
way through partial reconstruction of BPA's 115-kilovolt Allston-
Astoria No. 1 transmission line from single-circuit H-frame wood-pole 
design to double-circuit single metal-pole design. Terms of BPA's 
participation in this project will be documented in a Construction 
Agreement.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the Business Plan EIS and ROD, the Summit/Westward 
ROD of July 25, 2003, and this Revised ROD may be obtained by calling 
BPA's toll-free document request line, 1-800-622-4520. These documents 
are also available on our Web site at http://www.efw.bpa.gov.
