August 4, 2006.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) 
regulations contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (18 CFR 
Part 380 [FERC Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897]), the Office of Energy 
Projects staff (staff) has reviewed the application for a New Major 
License for the Rocky Reach Project (FERC No. 2145-060), located on the 
Columbia River in Chelan County, Washington, and has prepared a Final 
Environmental Impact Statement (final EIS) for the project. The project 
occupies about 152 acres of Federal lands managed by the U.S. Bureau of 
Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service.
    The final EIS contains staff's analysis of the applicant's proposal 
and the alternatives for relicensing the Rocky Reach Project. The final 
EIS documents the views of the Commission staff and of government 
agencies, non-government organizations, affected Indian tribes, the 
public, and the license applicant.
    A copy of the final EIS is available for review in the Commission 
Public Reference Branch, Room 2A, located at 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The final EIS may also be viewed on the
