[Project No. 503-048]

 
Idaho Power Company, Idaho; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Impact Statement for the Swan Falls Project

August 26, 2010.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 380 (Order No. 
486, 52 Federal Register 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed Idaho Power Company's application for license for the Swan 
Falls Project (FERC Project No. 503-048), located on the Snake River in 
Ada and Owyhee counties, Idaho, about 35 miles southwest of Boise. The 
project currently occupies 529 acres of federal lands administered by 
the Bureau of Land Management; however, Idaho Power proposes a 
reduction in the project boundary to include only 181 acres of federal 
lands. Commission staff has prepared a final Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS) for the project.
    The final EIS contains staff's evaluation of the applicant's 
proposal and alternatives for relicensing the Swan Falls Project. The 
final EIS documents the views of governmental agencies, non-
governmental organizations, affected Indian tribes, the public, the 
license applicant, and Commission staff.
    A copy of the final EIS is available for review at the Commission 
in the Public Reference Branch, Room 2a, located at 888 First Street, 
NE., Washington, DC 20426. The final EIS also may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' 
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the 
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, contact
