DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2082-027; Oregon and California]

 
PacifiCorp; Notice of Intent to Hold an Additional Public Meeting 
for Discussion of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the 
Klamath Hydroelectric Project and Extending Comment Deadline

November 2, 2006.
    On September 25, 2006, Commission staff delivered the Draft 
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the relicensing of the 
Klamath Hydroelectric project to the Environmental Protection Agency 
and mailed it to resource and land management agencies, interested 
organizations, and individuals.
    The DEIS was noticed in the Federal Register on September 29, 2006 
(71 FR 57503), with a comment deadline of November 24, 2006. The DEIS 
evaluates the environmental consequences of the issuance of a new 
license for the continued operation and maintenance of the Klamath 
Hydroelectric, located primarily on the Klamath River, in Klamath 
County, Oregon and Siskiyou County, California. The existing project 
occupies a total of 219 acres of land administered by the U.S. Bureaus 
of Land Management and Reclamation. It also evaluates the environmental 
effects of implementing the licensee's proposals, agency and NGO 
recommendations, staff's recommendations, and the no-action 
alternative.
    On October 6, 2006, we noticed four public meetings to receive 
comments on the DEIS (71 FR 60,505), which will be recorded by an 
official stenographer, as follows.
    Date: Tuesday, November 14, 2006.
    Time: 9 a.m.-12 noon (PST).
    Place: Shilo Inn.
    Address: 2500 Almond Street, Klamath Falls, Oregon.
    Date: Wednesday, November 15, 2006.
    Time: 9 a.m.-12 noon (PST).
    Place: Yreka Community Theatre.
    Address: 812 North Oregon Street, Yreka, California.
    Date: Wednesday, November 15, 2006.
    Time: 7-10 p.m. (PST).
    Place: Yreka Community Theatre.
    Address: 812 North Oregon Street, Yreka, California.
    Date: Thursday, November 16, 2006.
    Time: 7-10 p.m. (PST).
    Place: Red Lion Hotel.
    Address: 1929 Fourth Street, Eureka, California.
    We are now providing notice that we will be holding one additional 
meeting to receive comments on our DEIS:
    Date: Wednesday, November 29, 2006.
    Time: 7-10 p.m. (PST).
    Place: North Bend Community Center.
    Address: 2222 Broadway Street, North Bend, Oregon.
    At these meetings, resource agency personnel and other interested 
persons will have the opportunity to provide oral and written comments 
and recommendations regarding the DEIS for the Commission's public 
record.
    In light of our addition of this fifth meeting, we are extending 
the due date for receipt of written comments on the DEIS to December 1, 
2006.
    For further information, please contact John Mudre at e-mail 
address john.mudre@ferc.gov, or by telephone at (202) 502-8902.

Secretary.
