Arch Ford; Notice of Availability of Draft Navigation Study

March 20, 2003.
    Pursuant to section 23(b)(1) of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 
817(1), a non-federal hydroelectric project must (unless it has a 
still-valid pre-1920 federal permit) be licensed if it is located on a 
navigable water of the United States; occupies lands of the United 
States; utilizes surplus water or water power from a government dam; or 
is located on a body of water over which Congress has Commerce Clause 
jurisdiction; project construction occurred on or after August 26, 
1935, and the project affects the interests of interstate or foreign 
commerce. The Division of Hydropower Administration and Compliance has 
reviewed North Fork Nooksack River, location of the unlicensed Nooksack 
Falls Project, near the town of Glacier, in Whatcom County, Washington, 
and prepared a draft ``Navigation Status Report: North Fork Nooksack 
River, Washington'' (August 2002). This project, owned by Arch Ford, 
will also utilize federal lands within Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National 
Forest.
    Copies of the draft navigation report are available for review 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.
