[Project No. 2479-011-CA]


Pacific Gas and Electric Company

Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new license for 
the French Meadows transmission line project and has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA). The project is located within the Middle 
Fork American River Drainage in Placer County, California, and occupies 
32.78 acres of U.S. Forest Service land managed by the Eldorado and 
Tahoe National Forests. The combined length of the transmission lines 
on National Forest land is 6.58 miles, 6.42 miles on the Eldorado 
National Forest and 0.16 mile on the Tahoe National Forest. 
Approximately 6.69 miles on the French Meadows transmission line 
section of the project are located on private land.
    The EA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
effects of the project and alternatives 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.
    A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may 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
