DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2778-035]


Idaho Power Company; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

February 27, 2007.
    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 F.R. 47897]), the Office of Energy 
Projects staff (staff) reviewed the application for amendment of 
license for the Shoshone Falls Project, located on the Snake River, 
Jerome and Twin Falls Counties, Idaho, and prepared a draft 
environmental assessment (DEA) for the project. Within the project 
boundary, 1.97 acres of lands are owned by the U.S. Bureau of Land 
Management. In this DEA, staff analyzes the potential environmental 
effects of the proposed amendment of license and concludes that the 
proposal would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the DEA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room, or it may be viewed on the Commission's Web site 
at http://www.ferc.gov using the e-Library link. Enter the docket 
number (P-2778) in the docket number field to access the document. For 
assistance, call (202) 502-8222 or (202) 502-8659 (for TTY).
    Any comments should be filed by March 30, 2007, and should be 
addressed to Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Please reference Shoshone Falls 
Project No. 2778-035, on all comments. For further information on this 
notice, please contact Robert Fletcher at (202) 502-8901, or at
