[Project No. 2100-182--California]

California Department of Water Resources; Notice of Availability 
of Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations part 380, the Office of 
Energy Projects has reviewed an application filed June 23, 2017, by the 
California Department of Water Resources to permit Pacific Gas and 
Electric Company to reroute a portion of its transmission line across 
project lands in the vicinity of the project's Thermalito Diversion 
Pool at the Feather River Hydroelectric Project No. 2100. The project 
is located on the Feather River in Butte County, California, and 
occupies lands of the United States administered by the U.S. Forest 
Service and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
    Staff prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the application 
that analyzes the potential environmental effects of approving the 
transmission line reroute as a non-project use of project lands. In the 
EA, staff concludes that such an approval, with specified environmental 
protection measures, would not constitute a major federal action that 
would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room or may it be viewed on the Commission's Web site at 
www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number P-
2100 in the docket number field to access the document. For assistance,

    For further information, contact Mr. John Aedo at (415) 369-3335 or

    Dated: August 2, 2017.
