Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2659-011 Oregon]


PacifiCorp; Notice of Availability of Final Environmental 
Assessment

December 26, 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 license for the 
Powerdale Hydroelectric Project, located on the Hood River in Hood 
River County, Oregon, and has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment 
(FEA) for the project. There are no federal lands within the project 
boundaries although a portion of the project is located in the Columbia 
River Gorge National Scenic Area.
    The FEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the 
project, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not 
constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the 
quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the FEA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The FEA 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 Bob Easton at (202) 219-2782.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
