Project No. 8864-016 WashingtonCalligan Hydro Inc., Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment

June 27, 2001.

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for amendment of the license for the Calligan Creek Hydroelectric Project, located on Calligan Creek in King County, Washington, and has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. No federal lands are affected by this project.

The DEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental impacts of modifications to the project and concludes that amending the license for the project, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal

[Page 35239]action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.

Copies of the DEA are available for review at the Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, or by calling (202) 208-1371. The DEA may be viewed on the web at http//www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call (202) 208-2222 for assistance).

Boergers, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Please affix Project No. 8864-016 to all comments.
