[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 161 (Wednesday, August 20, 1997)] [Notices] [Page 44271] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-21995] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 2069-003, Arizona] Arizona Public Service Company; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment August 14, 1997. 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 Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for relicense for the major, constructed Childs Irving Hydroelectric Project. The project is located on Fossil Creek, in Yavapai and Gila counties, Arizona. The Commission staff has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) on the project. The DEA contains the staff's analysis of the environmental impacts of the project and has concluded that relicensing the project, with appropriate environmental enhancement measures, would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment. Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Public Reference Room, Room 2A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this notice and should be addressed to Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. For further information, contact Dianne Rodman, Environmental Coordinator, at (202) 219-2830. Linwood A. Watson, Jr., Acting Secretary. [FR Doc. 97-21995 Filed 8-19-97; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-M
