          - [Project Nos. 12606-000, 2545-091] 

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) regulations contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)(18 CFR Part 380 [FERC Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897]) the Office of Energy Projects staff (staff) reviewed the applications for New Major Licenses for the Spokane River Developments and Post Falls Project Hydroelectric Projects. Staff prepared a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for the projects which are located on the Spokane River, Washington. 

The DEIS contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental effects of the projects and concludes that licensing the projects, with staff's recommended measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Copies of the DEIS have been sent to Federal, State, and local agencies; public interest groups; and individuals on the Commission's mailing list. 

                    A copy of the DEIS is available for review at the Commission's Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at                     *http://www.ferc.gov*                     using the “e-Library” link. Enter the docket number (P-2545) or (P-12606), to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at                     *FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov*                     or toll-free at (866) 208-2376, or for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.                 

                    Comments should be filed with Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
