DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

[Project No. 2105–061 California]

Pacific Gas and Electric Company;

Notice of Availability of Environmental

Assessment

July 17, 1998.

In accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR Part

380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47910), the

Office of Hydropower Licensing (OHL)

has prepared an environmental

assessment (EA) for an application to

permit non-project use of project lands

on Lake Almanor, one of the project

reservoirs. Pacific Gas and Electric

Company (licensee) proposes to permit

Moonspiners Report to construct a boat

ramp and 6-slip boat dock in Big Cove.

In the EA, staff concludes that

approval of the licensee’s proposal

would not constitute a major Federal

action significantly affecting the quality

of the human environment. The Upper

North Fork Feather River Project is

located on the Upper North Fork

Feather River in Plumas County,

California.

The EA was written by staff in the

Office of Hydropower Licensing,

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Copies of the EA are available for review

at the Commission’s Reference and

Information Center, Room 2–A, 888

North Capitol Street, NE, Washington,

DC 20426.

Acting Secretary.
