DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 372-008 California]


Southern California Edison; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

January 15, 2002.
    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 
Lower Tule Hydroelectric Project, located on the Middle Fork of the 
Tule River in Tulare County, California, and has prepared a Draft 
Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. The project is 
partially located within the Sequoia National Forest and the Giant 
Sequoia National Monument.
    The DEA 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 DEA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The DEA 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).
    Any comments should be filed by February 14, 2002, and should be 
addressed to Linwood A. Watson, Acting Secretary, Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. 
Please affix Project No. 372-008 to all comments. Comments may be filed 
electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site 
under the ``e-Filing'' link.
    For further information, contact Nan Allen at (202) 219-2938.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
