California Department of Water Resources; Notice of Availability 
of the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Oroville Facilities

May 18, 2007.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for license for the 
Oroville Facilities (FERC No. 2100), located on the Feather River in 
the foothills of the Sierra Nevada in Butte County, California, and has 
prepared a Final Environmental Impact Statement (final EIS) for the 
project. The existing project occupies 1,620 acres of Federal lands 
managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service within 
the Plumas and Lassen National Forests and 4,620 acres managed by the 
U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
    In the final EIS, staff evaluates the applicant's proposal and 
alternatives for relicensing the Oroville Facilities. The final EIS 
documents the views of governmental agencies, non-governmental 
organizations, affected Indian tribes, the public, the license 
applicant, and Commission staff.
    The final EIS will be part of the record from which the Commission 
will make its decision.
    Copies of the final EIS are available for review in the 
Commission's Public Reference Branch, Room 2A, located at 888 First
