DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 13318-003]


Swan Lake North Hydro LLC; Notice of Availability of the Draft 
Environmental Impact Statement for the Swan Lake North Pumped Storage 
Project and Intention To Hold Public Meeting

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for license for the Swan Lake North Pumped 
Storage Hydroelectric Project, located about 11 miles northeast of 
Klamath Falls in Klamath County, Oregon, and has prepared a draft 
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the project. The project would 
occupy 730 acres of federal lands administered by the U.S. Bureau of 
Land Management and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, state lands, and 
private lands.
    The draft EIS contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the 
project, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not 
constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the 
quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the draft EIS is available for review at the Commission 
in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's 
website at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the 
docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number 
field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online
