DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2652-007, Montana]
 
Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment, 
PacifiCorp

Issued: April 15, 2002.
    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 47,897), the Office 
of Energy Projects staff has reviewed the application for a subsequent 
license for the Bigfork Hydroelectric Project located on the Swan 
River, in Flathead County, Montana, and has prepared a draft 
environmental assessment (EA) for the project. The project does not 
occupy any federal or tribal lands. In the draft EA, the Commission's 
staff has analyzed the potential environmental effects of the existing 
project and has concluded that approval of 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 draft EA can be viewed at the Commission's Reference 
and Information Center, Room 2A, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426, or by calling 202-208-1371. The document also can be viewed on 
the web at 
<A HREF="http://rimsweb1.ferc.gov/rims">http://rimsweb1.ferc.gov/rims</A> (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Any comments should be filed by May 27, 2002, and should be 
addressed to Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Please add 
Project No. 2652-007 to all comments. Comments may be filed 
electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's web site
