DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2652-007, Montana]


PacifiCorp; Notice of Availability of Final Environmental 
Assessment

July 22, 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 staff has reviewed the application for a subsequent 
license for the Bigfork Hydroelectric Project located on the Swan 
River, in Flathead County,

[[Page 49330]]

Montana, and has prepared a final environmental assessment (EA) for the 
project. The project does not occupy any Federal or tribal lands. In 
the final EA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the potential 
environmental effects of the existing project and has concluded that 
approval of the project, with appropriate environmental protection 
measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    On April 12, 2002, Commission staff issued a draft EA for the 
project and requested comments within 45 days. Five entities filed 
comments which are addressed in this final EA.
    Copies of the final EA can be viewed at the Commission's Reference 
and Information Center, Room 2A, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426, or by calling 202-208-1371. The document also can be viewed on 
the web at http://rimsweb1.ferc.gov/rims (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
