DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. 2687-014 California]

 
Pacific Gas and Electric Company; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

April 29, 1999.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for relicensing of 
the Pit 1 Project, located in the towns of Fall River Mills and 
McArthur, California.
    On May 27, 1998, the Commission staff issued a draft environmental 
assessment (DEA) for the project, and requested that comments be filed 
with the Commission within 45 days. Comments were filed by eleven 
entities and are addressed in the final environmental assessment (FEA) 
for the project.
    The FEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of the project and has concluded that licensing 
the project, with appropriate environmental protection measures, would 
not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the DEA and FEA are available for review in the Public 
Reference Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First 
Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. They may be viewed on the web at

assistance).

Acting Secretary.
