DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2103-002 Washington]


Cominco American Inc.; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

December 11, 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 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for subsequent license 
for the Cedar Creek Project, located on Cedar Creek in Stevens County, 
Washington, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 
project. 2.058 acres of federal lands, managed by the Department of the 
Interior's Bureau of Land Management, are affected by this project.
    The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of issuing a subsequent license for the project and concludes 
that the issuance of a subsequent license as proposed by Cominco 
American Inc. 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 December 7, 
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.gov.
    For further information, contact Kenneth Hogan at (202) 208-0434.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
