[Project No. 2145-060]


Rocky Reach Hydroelectric Project; Notice of Availability of 
Draft Environmental Impact Statement

 September 1, 2005.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) 
regulations contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (18 CFR 
Part 380 [FERC Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897]), the Office of Energy 
Projects staff (staff) reviewed the application for a New Major License 
for the Rocky Reach Project. Staff prepared a draft environmental 
impact statement (DEIS) for the project, located on the Columbia River 
in Chelan County, Washington.
    The DEIS contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
effects of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with 
staff's recommended measures, would not constitute a major federal 
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the DEIS is available for review at the Commission or may 
be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov, using 
the ``e-Library'' link. Enter the docket number, excluding the last 
three digits, to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC 
Online Support at [email protected] or toll-free at (866) 208-
3676, or for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.
    Any comments should be filed within 60 days from the notice date in 
the Federal Register and should be addressed to Magalie R. Salas, 
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix Rocky Reach Project, P-2145-060 to 
all comments. For further information, please contact Kim A. Nguyen at 
(202) 502-6105 or at [email protected].

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
