[Project No. 696-013--Utah]


PacifiCorp; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

November 26, 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 Projects has reviewed the application for surrender of the 
license for the American Fork Hydroelectric Project and has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. The project is located 
on American Fork Creek, near the City of American Fork, about three 
miles east of Highland, in Utah County, Utah. The project occupies 
about 28.8 acres of land within the Uinta National Forest, administered 
by the U.S. Forest Service (FS) and approximately 2,000 feet of the 
project's flowline passes through the Timpanogos Cave National 
Monument, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National 
Park Service (NPS).
    The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the project and concludes that surrendering the project, 
with the appropriate environmental protective measures, would not 
constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the 
quality of the human environment.
    The EA is on file with the Commission and is available for public 
inspection. Copies of the EA are available for review in Public 
Reference, Room 2-A at the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, 
NE, Washington, DC. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's Web 
site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. For 
assistance, contact FERC On Line Support at [email protected] 
or call toll free at (866) 208-3676, or for TTY contact (202) 502-8659.
    Any comments should be filed within 45 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426. Please reference Project No. 696-013 on all comments. Comments 
may 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
