A4 and D9.
    o. Available Location of Application: A copy of the application, as 
amended and supplemented, is available for inspection and reproduction 
at the Commission's Public Reference and Files Maintenance Branch, 
located at 941 North Capitol Street, NE., room 3104, Washington, DC

    p. Scoping Process: In gathering background information for 
preparation of the environmental document for the issuance of a Federal 
hydropower license, staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
is using a scoping process to identify significant environmental issues 
related to the construction and operation or the continued operation of 
hydropower projects. The staff will review all issues raised during the 
scoping process and identify issues deserving of study and also 
deemphasize insignificant issues, narrowing the scope of the 
environmental assessment as well. If preliminary analysis indicates 
that any issues presented in the scoping process would have little 
potential for causing significant impacts, the issue or issues will be 
identified and the reasons for not providing a more detailed analysis 
will be given.
    q. Request for Scoping Comments: Federal, state, and local resource 
agencies; licensees, applicants and developers; Indian tribes; other 
interested groups and individuals, are requested to forward to the 
Commission any information that they believe will assist the Commission 
staff in conducting an accurate and thorough analysis of the site-
specific and cumulative environmental effects of the proposed licensing 
activities of the project(s). Therefore you are requested to provide 
information related to the following items:
     Information, data, maps or professional opinion that may 
contribute to defining the geographical and temporal scope of the 
analysis and identifying significant environmental issues.
     Identification of and information from any other EIS or 
similar study (previous, on-going, or planned) relevant to the proposed 
licensing activities in the subject river basin.
     Existing information and any data that would aid in 
describing the past and present effects of the project(s) and other 
developmental activities on the physical/chemical, biological, and 
socioeconomic environments. For example, fish stocking/management 
histories in the subject river, historic water quality data and the 
reasons for improvement or degradation of the quality, any wetland 
habitat loss or proposals to develop land and water resources within 
the basin.
     Identification of any federal, state or local resource 
plans and future project proposals that encompass the subject river or 
basin. For example, proposals to construct or operate water treatment 
facilities, recreation areas, or implement fishery management programs.
     Documentation that would support a conclusion that the 
project(s) does not contribute, or does contribute to adverse and 
beneficial cumulative effects on resources and therefore should be 
excluded for further study or excluded from further consideration of 
cumulative impacts within the river basin. Documentation should 
include, but not be limited to: how the project(s) interact with other 
projects within the river basin or other developmental activities; 
results from studies; resource management policies; and, reports from 
federal, state, and local agencies.
    Comments concerning the scope of the environmental document should 
be filed by the deadline date.

the scope of environmental issues that should be analyzed in the EA by 
submitting written scoping comments. To help focus those comments, a 
scoping document outlining subject areas to be addressed in the EA will 
be mailed to agencies and interested individuals on the Commission 
mailing list. Copies of the scoping document may also be requested from 
FERC staff.
    Persons who have views on issues or information relevant to the 
issues may submit written statements for inclusion in the public

    p. Scoping Process: In gathering background information for 
preparation of the Environmental Assessment for the issuance of a 
Federal hydropower license, staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, is using a scoping process to identify significant 
environmental issues related to the construction and operation or the 
continued operation of hydropower projects. The staff will review all 
issues raised during the scoping process and identify issues deserving 
of study and also deemphasize insignificant issues, narrowing the scope 
of the environmental assessment as well. If preliminary analysis 
indicates that any issues presented in the scoping process would have 
little potential for causing significant impacts, the issue or issues 
will be identified and the reasons for not providing a more detailed 
analysis will be given.
    q. Request for Scoping Comments: Federal, state, and local resource 
agencies; licensees, applicants and developers; Indian tribes; other 
interested groups and individuals, are requested to forward to the 
Commission, any information that they believe will assist the 
Commission staff in conducting an accurate and thorough analysis of the 
site-specific and cumulative environmental effects of the proposed 
licensing activities of the project(s). Therefore you are requested to 
provide information related to the following items:
     Information, data, maps or professional opinion that may 
contribute to defining the geographical and temporal scope of the 
analysis and identifying significant environmental issues.
     Identification of and information from any other EIS or 
similar study (previous, on-going, or planned) relevant to the proposed 
licensing activities in the subject river basin.
     Existing information and any data that would aid in 
describing the past and present effects of the project(s) and other 
developmental activities on the physical/chemical, biological, and 
socioeconomic environments. For example, fish stocking/management 
histories in the subject river, historic water quality data and the 
reasons for improvement or degradation of the quality, and any wetland 
habitat loss or proposals to develop land and water resources within 
the basin.
     Identification of any federal, state or local resource 
plans and future project proposals that encompass the subject river or 
basin. For example, proposals to construct or operate water treatment 
facilities, recreation areas, or implement fishery management programs.
     Documentation that would support a conclusion that the 
project(s) does not contribute, or does contribute to adverse and 
beneficial cumulative effects on resources and therefore should be 
excluded from further study or excluded from further consideration of 
cumulative impacts within the river basin. Documentation should 
include, but be not limited to: how the project(s) interact with other 
projects within the river basin or other developmental activities; 
results from studies; resource management policies; and, reports from 
federal, state, and local agencies.
    FERC staff will be issuing shortly the Scoping Document for the 
preparation of the Salmon River Project Environmental Assessment. 
Comments concerning the scope of the environmental assessment should be 
filed by the deadline date.
