DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2661-012]


Pacific Gas and Electric Company; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

August 29, 2000.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects staff has reviewed the application for new license 
for the Hat Creek Hydroelectric Project located on Hat Creek, near the 
town of Cassel, in Shasta County, California, and has prepared a draft 
Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. In the DEA, the 
Commission's staff has analyzed the potential environmental impacts of 
the existing project and has concluded that approval of the project, 
with appropriate environmental protection 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 
Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The DEA may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please call (202) 208-2222 for 
assistance).
    Any comments should be filed within 45 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426. Please affix ``Hat Creek Hydroelectric Project No. 2661-012,'' 
to all comments. For further information, please contact David Turner 
at (202) 219-2844.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
