DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2244-022]


Energy Northwest; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental 
Assessment

February 5, 2009.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 
1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new major license 
for the Packwood Lake Hydroelectric Project (project), located on Lake 
Creek in Lewis County, Washington, and has prepared a draft 
Environmental Assessment (EA). In the draft EA, Commission staff 
analyze the potential environmental effects of licensing the project 
and conclude that issuing a license for the project, with appropriate 
environmental measures, would not constitute a major federal action 
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the draft EA is on file with the Commission and is 
available for public inspection. The draft EA may also 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 access the document. For assistance, contact 
FERC Online Support at [email protected] or toll-free at 1-
866-208-3676, or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the issuance date 
of this notice, and should be addressed to the Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Room 1-A, 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Packwood Lake Hydroelectric 
Project No. 2244-022'' to all comments. Comments may be filed 
electronically via Internet in lieu of paper. The Commission strongly 
encourages electronic filings (See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the 
instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``eFiling'' link). 
For further information, contact Kenneth Hogan at (202) 502-8434.
