[Project No. 2195-161]

Portland General Electric Company; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

    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 an application

[[Page 10813]]

submitted by Portland General Electric Company (licensee) to demolish 
and reconstruct the Faraday powerhouse. The project is located on the 
Oak Grove Fork of the Clackamas River and the mainstem of the Clackamas 
River in Clackamas County, Oregon. The project occupies federal lands 
within the Mt. Hood National Forest, under the jurisdiction of the U.S. 
Forest Service, and a reservation of the U.S. Department of Interior's 
Bureau of Land Management.
    An environmental assessment (EA) has been prepared as part of 
staff's review of the proposal. In the application the licensee 
proposes to improve the Faraday development by demolishing the existing 
powerhouse and constructing a new powerhouse to increase its seismic 
stability, installing flood protection structures to prevent flooding 
during high flow events, and replacing the five old turbines with two 
modern units, without any change to the authorized installed or 
hydraulic capacities of the Project.
    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the probable 
environmental effects of the proposed action and concludes that 
approval of the proposal would not constitute a major federal action 
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    The EA is available for review and reproduction at the Commission's 
Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE, Room 2A, 
Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's 
website at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``elibrary'' link. Enter the 
docket number (P-2195) in the docket number field to access the 
document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
