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
