DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2069-007 Arizona]


Arizona Public Service Company; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

March 26, 2004.
    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 
license for the major, constructed Childs Irving Hydroelectric Project. 
The project is located on Fossil Creek, in Yavapai and Gila counties, 
Arizona. The project is located entirely on lands of the National 
Forest System: It occupies 326.8 acres within the Coconino National 
Forest and 17.2 acres within the Tonto National Forest. The Commission 
staff has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) on the 
license surrender.

[[Page 17140]]

    The FEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of the retirement of the project and the removal 
of most of the project facilities, and concludes that surrendering the 
license, with appropriate environmental protection measures, would not 
constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the 
quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the FEA is 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 ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket 
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to
