Pacific Gas & Electric Co.; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

November 6, 1996.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for a new license 
for the Haas-Kings River Hydroelectric Project, located on the North 
Fork Kings River near the towns of Centerville, Fresno and Sanger, in 
Fresno County, California and has prepared a final Environmental 
Assessment (EA) for the project. In the EA, the Commission's staff has 
analyzed the potential environmental impacts of the existing project 
and has concluded that approval of the project, with appropriate 
environmental protection or enhancement measures, would not constitute 
a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
