DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 553-221--Washington]


City of Seattle, WA; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's or FERC's) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380,

[[Page 41978]]

Commission staff has reviewed the application for amendment of license 
for the Skagit River Project (FERC No. 553) and has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA). The project is located on the Skagit 
River in Skagit, Snohomish, and Whatcom Counties, Washington.
    The EA contains the Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of construction and operation of a proposed 
second power tunnel and fish flow measures and concludes that 
authorizing the amendment, with appropriate environmental protective 
measures would not constitute a major federal action that would 
significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Room 2-A of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's 
Internet Web site (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. Additional information about the project 
is available from the Commission's Web site using the eLibrary link.

    Dated: July 9, 2012.
