March 2, 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

Hood River, near the town of Hood

River, in Hood River County, Oregon.

The Draft EA 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.

Copies of the Draft EA are available

for review in the Public Reference

offices at 888 First Street, NE.,

Washington, DC 20426.
