DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 12965-002]


Wickiup Hydro Group, LLC, Oregon; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 380 (Order No. 
486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed Wickiup 
Hydro Group, LLC's application for an original license for the Wickiup 
Dam Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 12965-002), which would be 
constructed at the existing Bureau of Reclamation Wickiup Dam on the 
Deschutes River in Deschutes County near the city of La Pine, Oregon. 
The proposed project, if licensed, would occupy 1.02 acres of federal 
lands jointly managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of 
Reclamation, and the U.S. Forest Service.
    The final environmental assessment (EA) contains staff's analysis 
of the potential environmental effects of licensing 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.
    A copy of the final EA is available for review at the Commission in 
the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's web site 
at 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
