DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2114-091 Washington]


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

June 4, 2001.
    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 47910), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant 
County's application for an amendment to temporarily waive for the 
current year the spill flow requirements applicable to its Priest 
Rapids Project, located on the Columbia River in Grant, Yakima, 
Kittitas, Douglas, Benton and Chelan Counties, Washington and has 
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). The project occupies 
3,051.92 acres of federal lands administered by the Bureau of Land 
Management Department of Energy, Department of Army, Bureau of 
Reclamation, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
    The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the proposed amendment and alternatives developed by staff 
and concludes that approval of the staff recommended alternative 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 June 1, 2001 for 
the above application. Copies of the EA are available for review at the 
Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, or by calling (202) 208-1371. The EA may be 
viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call (202) 
208-2222 for assistance).
    For further information, contact Charles Hall at (202) 219-2853.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
