[Project No. 2114-071]


Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant County; Notice of 
Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment

September 24, 1998.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR Part 
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47910), the Office of Hydropower Licensing 
(OHL) reviewed the Grant County Public Utility District No. 2 
(licensee) proposal for installation of flow defectors at the Priest 
Rapids project in Grant County, Washington. The Commission prepared a 
draft environmental assessment (DEA) for the proposed action. In the 
DEA, the Commission concludes that approval of the licensee's proposal 
will not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.
    This DEA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing 
(OHL). As such, the DEA is OHL staff's preliminary analysis of the 
licensee's proposal for installation of flow deflectors. No final 
conclusions have been made by the Commission regarding this matter.
    Should you wish to provide comments on the DEA, they should be 
filed within 30 days from the date of this notice. Comments should be 
addressed to: The Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. Please include the project 
number (2114-071) on any comments filed.
    Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Room, Room 2A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
