DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2899-099 Idaho]


Idaho Power Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

May 9, 2001.
    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 Energy Projects has 
reviewed Idaho Power Company's application for license amendment to 
waive for 1 year the target flow requirements at the Milner 
Hydroelectric project, located on the Snake River in Twin Falls and 
Cassia Counties, Idaho, and has prepared an environmental assessment 
(EA). The project includes about 109 acres of federal land administered 
by the Bureau of Land Management.
    The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the proposed amendment and concludes that the approval of 
the proposed amendment with staff's modifications would not constitute 
a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of 
the human environment.
    The EA is attached to a Commission order issued on May 8, 2001, for 
the above application. Copies of the EA can be obtained by calling the 
Commission's Public Reference Room at (202) 208-1371. Copies of the EA 
can also be obtained through the Commission's homepage at http://www.ferc.fed.us.
    For further information, contact Kenneth Hogan at (202) 208-0434.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
