DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2145-041 Washington]


Public Utility District No. 1 of Chelan County; Notice of 
Availability of Environmental Assessment

September 18, 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.1 of Chelan 
County's application for license amendment to temporarily increase, by 
one foot, the normal operating level of the reservoir at the Rocky 
Reach Hydroelectric Project, located on the Columbia River in Chelan 
and Douglas Counties, Washington, and has prepared an Environmental 
Assessment (EA). The project occupies lands managed by the Bureau of 
Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service.
    The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the proposed amendment and concludes that 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 September 13, 
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. Copies 
of this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for 
public inspection. The EA may also be viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' link, select ``Docket#'' and follow the 
instructions (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    For further information, contact Vince Yearick at (202) 219-3073.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
