    On May 17, 2013, the Commission issued a Notice of Availability of 
the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Drum-Spaulding and 
Yuba-Bear Hydroelectric Projects. The draft EIS documents the views of 
governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, affected Indian 
tribes, the public, the license applicants, and Commission staff. All 
written comments must be filed by August 22, 2013, and should reference 
Project Nos. 2266-102, 2310-193, 14530-000, and 14531-000. More 
information on filing comments can be found in the letter at the front 
of the draft EIS or on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. Although the Commission strongly 
encourages electronic filing, documents may also be paper-filed.
    In addition to or in lieu of sending written comments, you are 
invited to attend public meetings that will be held to receive comments 
on the draft EIS. The daytime meeting will focus on resource agency, 
Indian tribes, and non-governmental organization comments, while the 
evening meeting is primarily for receiving input from the public. All 
interested individuals and entities are invited to attend one or both 
of the public meetings. The time and location of the meetings are as 
follows:
    Date: Wednesday, August 14, 2013.
    Time: Daytime meeting--9 a.m.; Evening meeting--7 p.m.
    Place: Holiday Inn, Auburn, California.
    Address: 120 Grass Valley Highway, Auburn, California 95603, 530-

    At this meeting, resource agency personnel and other interested 
persons will have the opportunity to provide oral and written comments 
and recommendations regarding the draft EIS. The meeting will be 
recorded by a court reporter, and all statements (verbal and written) 
will become part of the Commission's public record for the project. 
This meeting is posted on the Commission's calendar located at http://www.ferc.gov/EventCalendar/EventsList.aspx along with other related
