Boundary Hydroelectric Project; Sullivan Creek Project; Notice of 
Availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the 
Relicensing of the Boundary Hydroelectric Project and the Surrender of 
the Sullivan Creek Project

    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 has reviewed the applications for license for the Boundary 
Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2144-38), and the surrender of the 
Sullivan Creek Project (FERC No. 2225-015). The Boundary Project is 
located on the Pend Oreille River in Pend Oreille County, Washington. 
The Sullivan Creek Project is located on Sullivan Lake, and Sullivan 
Creek and Outlet Creeks, tributaries to the Pend Oreille River that 
empty into the Boundary Project reservoir. Both projects occupy lands 
within the Colville National Forest.
    This final EIS contains staff evaluations of the applicants' 
proposals and the alternatives for relicensing the Boundary Project and 
surrendering the Sullivan Creek Project. The final EIS documents the 
views of governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, 
affected Indian tribes, the public, the license applicants, and 
Commission staff.
    A copy of the final EIS is available for review at the Commission 
or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov,
