Cinnamon Ranch Hydroelectric Project; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

July 16, 2009.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part 
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for a subsequent license for the Cinnamon 
Ranch Hydroelectric Project, and has prepared an Environmental 
Assessment. The operating project is located on Pellisier Creek, Middle 
Creek, and Birch Creek, in the Hammil Valley area of Mono County, near 
the Town of Benton, California. The project occupies 0.13 acre of U.S. 
Forest Service lands within the Inyo National Forest and 7.53 acres of 
lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management.
    The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the project and concludes that relicensing the project 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 in the 
Public Reference Room or 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
