Northern California Power Agency; Utica Power Authority; Notice 
of Availability of Environmental Assessment

Issued: May 29, 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 applications for licenses for the 
Angels Hydroelectric Project, Utica Hydroelectric Project, and the 
Upper Utica Project. Commission staff, with the U.S. Forest Service as 
a cooperating agency, has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for 
the project. These projects are located on the North Fork Stanislaus 
River, Silver Creek, Mill Creek, and Angels Creek in Alpine, Calaveras, 
and Tuolumne Counties, California, partially within the Stanislaus 
National Forest.

    The EA contains the our 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 EA 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 within 60 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 
20426. Please affix Project Nos. 2699-001, 2019-017, & 11563-002 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 Timothy Welch at (202) 219-2666.
