DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 12423-000 Idaho]


American Falls Reservoir District No. 2, Big Wood Canal Company; 
Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

July 17, 2003.
    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

[[Page 43509]]

Projects has reviewed the application for license for the Lateral 993 
Hydroelectric Project and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) 
for the project. The project is located at the juncture of the 993 
Lateral and North Gooding Main Canal, Boise Meridian, 20 miles 
northwest of the Town of Shoshone, Lincoln County, Idaho. The initial 
diversion is the Milner Dam on the Snake River. The North Gooding Main 
Canal is part of a U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) project. The 
project would occupy 17 acres of Federal land managed by the BLM.
    The EA contains the Staff's 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 EA is available for review at the Commission 
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 the document. For
