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

December 19, 1996.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) 
regulations, 19 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for relicensing 
the Mokelumne River Hydroelectric Project, located in Alpine, Amador, 
and Calaveras Countries, California, and has prepared a Draft 
Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. In the DEA, 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 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 
Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, 
N.E., Washington, D.C. 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 N.E., Room 1-A, 
Washington, D.C. 20426. Please affix ``Mokelumne River Hydroelectric 
Project No. 137'' to all comments. For further information, please 
contact Tom Dean at [phone].
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
