[Project No. 2174-012-California]


Southern California Edison; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

April 27, 2006.
    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 final environmental assessment (EA). 
The project is located on Camp 61 Creek and Rancheria Creek in Fresno 
County, California.
    The final EA 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.
    Before the Commission makes a licensing decision, it will take into 
account all concerns relevant to the public interest. The final EA will 
be part of the record from which the Commission will make its decision. 
Copies of the final EA are available for

review in Public Reference Room 2-A of the Commission's offices at 888

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)
