Coyote Business Park Project

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

ACTION: Notice of Record of Decision (ROD).

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of the ROD to implement 
BPA's portion of the Proposed Action identified in the United States 
Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs' (BIA) Coyote 
Business Park Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) (DOE/EIS-0371, 
September 2006). BPA will remove and replace some existing wood 
transmission line structures with taller steel poles on BPA's portion 
of its Roundup-LaGrande 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission line that 
crosses the proposed Coyote Business Park on the Umatilla Indian 
Reservation in Oregon.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD and EIS may be obtained by calling BPA's 
toll-free document request line, 1-800-622-4520. The ROD and EIS 
Summary are also available on our Web site, http://www.efw.bpa.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gene Lynard, Bonneville Power 
Administration--KEC-4, P.O. Box 3621, Portland, Oregon 97208-3621; 
toll-free telephone number 1-800-282-3713; fax number 503-230-5699; or 
e-mail [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BPA owns and operates the 230-kV Roundup-
LaGrande transmission line that crosses the proposed Coyote Business 
Park site. The portion of the transmission line that crosses the 
business park site is supported by 12 wooden ``H-frame'' structures, 
each about 60 feet tall. The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian 
Reservation (CTUIR) has requested that BPA remove these structures and 
replace them with single steel poles about 110 feet tall. Taller steel 
poles will increase the clearance between the ground and the conductors 
and reduce the footprint of the line, thus expanding CTUIR's options 
for future parking and transportation needs. BPA has decided to remove 
and replace these structures.

Administrator and Chief Executive Officer.
