Northern States Power Company, and City of Eau Claire; Notice of 
Availability of Environmental Assessment

July 24, 2002.
    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 Energy Projects has reviewed the applications for new license for 
the Holcombe, Wissota, and Dells Projects, and amendments to license 
for the Chippewa Falls, Jim Falls, and Cornell Projects, located on the 
Chippewa River, in Chippewa, Rusk, and Eau Claire Counties, Wisconsin, 
and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the projects. In 
the EA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the potential environmental 
effects of the projects, and has concluded that approval of the 
projects and amendments, with appropriate environmental measures, would 
not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the web at <A HREF="http://www.ferc.gov">http://
www.ferc.gov</A> using the ``RIMS'' link, select ``Docket#'' and follow the 
instructions. Please call (202) 208-2222 for assistance.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Room 1-A, 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Holcombe, Wissota, Dells, Cornell, 
Jim Falls, and Chippewa Falls Project Nos. 1982-017, 2567-009, 2670-
014, 2639-009, 2491-025, and 2440-040'' to all comments. For further
