DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 637-022--WA]


Public Utility District No.1 of Chelan County; Notice of 
Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment

November 25, 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), Office of 
Energy Projects staff have reviewed the application for a new license 
for the Lake Chelan Hydroelectric Project, an existing, operating 
facility located on the Chelan River near the City of Chelan, 
Washington. The 48-megawatt project occupies land managed by the U.S. 
Forest Service and the National Park Service. In the DEA, the staff has 
analyzed the potential environmental impacts 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.
    Comments on the DEA should be filed by January 6, 2003. Comments 
should be filed with: Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. 
Documents may also 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 at http://www.ferc.gov under the ``e-Filing'' 
link.
    Copies of the DEA can be viewed at the Commission in the Public 
Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``FERRIS'' link. Enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access
