[Project No. 382-108]


Southern California Edison 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 or FERC) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed Southern 
California Edison Company's (SCE) application for surrender of license 
and decommissioning project features of the Borel Hydroelectric Project 
No. 382 and have prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 
proposed surrender. The SCE is requesting to surrender its license and 
to dispose of all the associated project facilities (i.e., removal, 
modification, or abandonment in place). SCE is surrendering the Borel 
Project license because the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) 
implemented a safety modification to its Lake Isabella Auxiliary Dam 
which rendered the Borel Project nonfunctional. The project is located 
on the Kern River in Kern County, California. The project occupies 
Federal land administered by the U.S. Forest Service, Corps, and the 
Bureau of Land Management.
    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of surrendering the license and decommissioning 
project facilities, and concludes that the proposed surrender, with 
appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a 
major Federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the 
human environment.
    The EA may be viewed on the Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``elibrary'' link. Enter the docket number (P-
382) in the docket number field to access the document. For assistance,
