Pacific Gas and Electric Company; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

November 1, 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 Rock Creek-Cresta Hydroelectric Project, located on the North 
Fork Feather River in Northern California, and has prepared a Draft 
Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. In the DEA, the 
Commission's staff analyzed the potential environmental impacts of 
relicensing the existing project and 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 DEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
and Files
