Utica Power Authority, Northern California Power Agency; Notice 
of Intention to Hold a Public Meeting for Discussion of the 
Environmental Assessment for the Upper Utica, Utica, and Angels 
Projects

June 26, 2002.
    On May 29, 2002, the Commission staff mailed an Environmental 
Assessment (EA) for the Upper Utica, Utica, and Angels Projects to 
resource and land management agencies, and interested organization and 
individuals.
    The EA was noticed in the Federal Register on June 4, 2002 (Vol. 
67, Number 107), and comments are due July 29, 2002. The EA was 
prepared by Commission staff, with the U.S. Forest Service as a 
cooperating agency. The Upper Utica, Utica, and Angels 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 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 public meeting, which will be recorded by an official 
stenographer, is scheduled on Tuesday, July 9, from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. 
at Bret Harte High School, 354 Murphys Grade Road, Angels Camp, 
California. At this meeting, resource agency personnel and other 
interested persons will have the opportunity to provide oral and 
written comments regarding the EA for the Commission's public record.

2666, [email protected], Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 
Office of Energy Projects, 888 First St. NE., Washington, DC 20426.
