Availability of Environmental

Assessment

December 11, 2001.

In accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission’s (Commission)

regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No.

486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy

Projects has reviewed the application

for subsequent license for the Cedar

Creek Project, located on Cedar Creek in

Stevens County, Washington, and has

prepared an Environmental Assessment

(EA) for the project. 2.058 acres of

federal lands, managed by the

Department of the Interior’s Bureau of

Land Management, are affected by this

project.

The EA contains the staff’s analysis of

the potential environmental impacts of

issuing a subsequent license for the

project and concludes that the issuance

of a subsequent license as proposed by

Cominco American Inc. would not

constitute a major federal action that

would significantly affect the quality of

the human environment.

The EA is attached to a Commission

order issued on December 7, 2001, for

the above application. Copies of the EA

can be obtained by calling the

Commission’s Public Reference Room at

(202) 208–1371. Copies of the EA can

also be obtained through the

Commission’s homepage at http://
