DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2351-017-CO]
Public Service Company of Colorado; 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)
regulations contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)(18 CFR
Part 380 [FERC Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897]), the Office of Energy
Projects has reviewed Public Service Company of Colorado's application
for license for the Cabin Creek Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project
(FERC Project No. 2351), located on South Clear Creek near the town of
Georgetown, Clear Creek County, Colorado. The project currently
occupies a total of 267 acres of federal lands within the Arapaho
National Forest administered by the U.S. Forest Service.
Staff prepared an environmental assessment (EA), which analyzes the
potential environmental effects of relicensing 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 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
