SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of the ROD to offer

from the Columbia Energy Partners' proposed Arlington Wind Project into 
the Federal Columbia River Transmission System. The wind project will 
be interconnected at the proposed BPA Jones Canyon Switching Station.

providing transmission access to the wind project. These proposed 
facilities will be located in Gilliam County, Oregon, about 3 miles 
southwest of Arlington, Oregon. The decision to offer terms to 
interconnect the Arlington Wind Project is consistent with and tiered 
to BPA's Business Plan Final Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/EIS-
