Southern California Edison, California; Notice of Intent To Hold 
a Public Meeting To Discuss the Draft Environmental Impact Statement 
for the Big Creek Alp Hydroelectric Projects

October 2, 2008.
    On September 12, 2008, the Commission issued a Draft Environmental 
Impact Statement (draft EIS) for four Big Creek Hydroelectric Projects 
and mailed it to resource and land management agencies, interested 
organizations, Tribes, and individuals.
    The Environmental Protection Agency noticed the draft EIS in the 
Federal Register on September 19, 2008 (73 FR 54393); comments are due 
November 3, 2008. The draft EIS evaluates the environmental 
consequences and developmental benefits of issuing new licenses for 
operating and maintaining the Mammoth Pool Project (FERC No. 2085); Big 
Creek Nos. 2A, 8 and Eastwood (FERC No. 67); Big Creek Nos. 1 and 2 
(FERC No. 2175); and Big Creek No. 3 (FERC No. 120), located in Fresno 
and Madera Counties, California. Besides evaluating the projects as 
they now operate, the draft EIS evaluates the projects with the 
Settlement Agreement and with staff-recommended measures.
    The public meeting, which will be recorded by an official 
stenographer, is scheduled as follows.
    Date: Wednesday, October 15, 2008.
    Time: 1-4 p.m. (PST).
    Place: Piccadilly Inn Airport, 5115 East McKinley Ave, Fresno, CA 
93727, Phone: (559) 251-6000.
    At the meeting, resource agency personnel and other interested 
persons will have the opportunity to provide
