[Project No. 2174-012-California]


Southern California Edison; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

August 4, 2005.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission 
or FERC) regulations (18 CFR part 380), Commission staff has reviewed 
the application for license for the Portal Hydroelectric Project (FERC 
No. 2174-012) and has prepared a draft environmental assessment (DEA). 
The project is located on Camp 61 Creek and Rancheria Creek in Fresno 
County, California.
    The DEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects 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.
    Copies of the DEA are available for review in Public Reference Room 
2-A of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, 
DC. The DEA also may be viewed on the Commission's Internet Web site 
(http://www.ferc.gov) using the ``eLibrary'' link. Additional 
information about the project is available from the Commission's Office 
of External Affairs, at (202) 502-6088, or on the Commission's Web site 
using the eLibrary link.
    Any comments on the DEA should be filed within 30 days of 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 ``Portal Hydroelectric Project, 
FERC Project No. 2174-012'' 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
