DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 1121–136] 

Pacific Gas & Electric Company; 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment 

On October 28, 2022, as 

supplemented on October 2, 2023, and 

December 1, 2023, Pacific Gas & Electric 

Company (PG&E or licensee) filed an 

application for a non-capacity 

amendment for the Battle Creek 

Hydroelectric Project No. 1121. The 

project is located on the mainstem 

Battle Creek, and on the North Fork and 

South Fork Battle Creek in Shasta and 

Tehama Counties, California. The 

project occupies Federal lands 

administered by the U.S. Forest Service 

and the Bureau of Land Management. 

PG&E is requesting that its license for 

the Battle Creek Hydroelectric Project be 

amended to remove Inskip Diversion 

Dam, adjacent infrastructure, fish 

ladder, and approximately 30,000 to 

56,000 cubic yards of sediment from 

behind the dam. No changes to longterm operations of the project are 

proposed. Inskip Diversion Dam would 

be removed and the inlet into Inskip 

Canal from Inskip Diversion Dam would 

be plugged. Once stored sediment is 

dredged and the dam is removed, the 

stream channel would be restored to a 

natural condition. A Notice of 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions to 

Intervene, and Protest was issued on 

December 29, 2022. 

This notice identifies Commission 

staff’s intention to prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

proposed action. The planned schedule 

for the completion of the EA is May 

2024.1 Revisions to the schedule may be 

made as appropriate. The EA will be 

issued and made available for review by 

all interested parties. All comments 

filed on the EA will be reviewed by staff 

and considered in the Commission’s 

final decision on the proceeding. 

With this notice, the Commission is 

inviting Federal, State, local, and Tribal 

agencies with jurisdiction and/or 

special expertise with respect to 

environmental issues affected by the 

proposal to cooperate in the preparation 

of the EA planned to be issued May 

2024. Agencies wishing to cooperate, or 

further discuss the benefits, 

responsibilities, and obligations of the 

cooperating agency role, should contact 

staff listed at the bottom of this notice 

by February 19, 2024. Cooperating 

agencies should note the Commission’s 

policy that agencies that cooperate in 

the preparation of any environmental 

document cannot also intervene. See 94 

FERC ¶ 61,076 (2001). 

The Commission’s Office of Public 

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful 

public engagement and participation in 

Commission proceedings. OPP can help 

members of the public, including 

landowners, environmental justice 

communities, Tribal members, and 

others to access publicly available 

information and navigate Commission 

processes. For public inquiries and 

assistance with making filings such as 

interventions, comments, or requests for 

rehearing, the public is encouraged to 

contact OPP at (202) 502–6595 or OPP@

Any questions regarding this notice 

may be directed to Rebecca Martin at

ACTION: Notice of public listening 

session. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) announces a public 

listening session via a webcast of the 

Environmental Financial Advisory 

Board (EFAB) Water Affordability 

Workgroup. The listening session will 

be held in real-time via webcast and 

public comments may be provided in 

writing in advance. Please see 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for further 

details. The purpose of the listening 

session will be for the EFAB to solicit 

public comment on research, data, and 

case examples that demonstrate 

approaches to reduce the capital 

intensity of meeting communities’ water 

and wastewater service needs. These 

could include technological innovations 

that reduce the required scale of capital 

projects, innovative procurement 

models that reduce overall capital costs, 

or policy innovations that enable 

communities to meet regulatory 

requirements more efficiently. The 

listening session will be conducted fully 

virtual via webcast. 

DATES: The listening session will be 

held on February 20, 2024, from 1 p.m. 

to 3 p.m. eastern. 

ADDRESSES: 

Webcast: Information to access the 

webcast will be provided upon 

registration in advance of the listening 

session. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public who wants 

information about the listening session 

may contact Tara Johnson via 

telephone/voicemail at (202) 564–6186 

or email to efab@epa.gov. General 

information concerning the EFAB is 

available at www.epa.gov/ 

waterfinancecenter/efab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The EFAB is an EPA 

advisory committee chartered under the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C. app. 2, to provide 

advice and recommendations to EPA on 

innovative approaches to funding 

environmental programs, projects, and 

activities. Administrative support for 

the EFAB is provided by the Water 

Infrastructure and Resiliency Finance 

Center within EPA’s Office of Water. 

Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, 

notice is hereby given that the EFAB 

will hold a public listening session via 

a webcast to solicit public comment on 

research, data, and case examples that 

demonstrate approaches to reduce the 

capital intensity of meeting 

communities’ water and wastewater 

service needs. These could include 

technological innovations that reduce 

the required scale of capital projects, 

innovative procurement models that 

reduce overall capital costs, or policy 

innovations that enable communities to 

meet regulatory requirements more 

efficiently.

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s Federal advisory committees has 

a different purpose from public 

comment provided to EPA program 

offices. Therefore, the process for 

submitting comments to a Federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. Federal advisory 

committees provide independent advice 

to EPA. Members of the public may 

submit comments on matters being 

considered by the EFAB for 

consideration as the Board develops its 

advice and recommendations to EPA. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a public listening 

session will be limited to three minutes 

each. Persons interested in providing 

oral statements at the February 2024 

listening session should register in 

advance and provide notification, as 

noted in the registration confirmation, 

by February 13, 2024, to be placed on 

the list of registered speakers. Those 

providing oral statements may also 

submit supplementary written 

statements per the instructions below. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements should be received by 

February 13, 2024, so that the 

information can be made available to 

the EFAB for its consideration prior to 

the listening session. Written statements 

should be sent via email to efab@

epa.gov. Members of the public should 

be aware that their personal contact 

information, if included in any written 

comments, may be posted to the EFAB 

website. Copyrighted material will not 

be posted without explicit permission of 

the copyright holder. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities or to request 

accommodations for a disability, please 

register for the listening session and list 

any special requirements or 

accommodations needed on the 

registration form at least 10 business 

days prior to the listening session to 

allow as much time as possible to 

process your request.
