Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2058-098]

Avista Corporation; 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's) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed Avista Corporation's application for an amendment to the 
license for the Clark Fork Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 
2058), and have prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 
proposed amendment. The licensee proposes to construct and operate a 
permanent upstream fish passage facility at the project's Cabinet Gorge 
development. The project is located on the Clark Fork River in Bonner 
County, Idaho and Sanders County, Montana and occupies federal land 
within the Idaho Panhandle, Lolo, and Kootenai National Forests 
administered by the U.S. Forest Service.
    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the proposed amendment to the license, and 
concludes that the proposed amendment, with appropriate environmental 
protective 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 in the 
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's website at 
www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. Enter the docket number excluding 
the last three digits in the docket number field to access the
