[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 217 (Thursday, November 7, 1996)] [Notices] [Pages 57670-57671] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-28603] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY [Project No. 1962-000-CA] Pacific Gas and Electric Company; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment November 1, 1996. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for a new license for the Rock Creek-Cresta Hydroelectric Project, located on the North Fork Feather River in Northern California, and has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. In the DEA, the Commission's staff analyzed the potential environmental impacts of relicensing the existing project and concluded that approval of the project, with appropriate environmental protection or enhancement measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Public Reference and Files [[Page 57671]] Maintenance Branch of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. Any comments should be filed within 45 days from the date of this notice and should be addressed to Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. Please affix ``Rock Creek-Cresta Hydroelectric Project, No. 1962-000'' to all comments. For further information, please contact Jim Haimes at (202) 219-2780. Lois D. Cashell, Secretary. [FR Doc. 96-28603 Filed 11-6-96; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-M
